You should be able to live on the equivalent of a single person's JSA and bank the rest. Why not try that for starters.

Some single people on JSA are having to live AND incur additional costs as they're homeowners, so extra stuff like buildings insurance payable - and minor maintenance/general repairs.

Just for the OP's benefit, (on the tiny chance that this isn't a wind up):)

Your middle rate DLA is provided for you to purchase the supports/assistance required to meet the deficits in your activities of living caused by your condition.

As per what you would have written on your application form?

It is not paid as some kind of "compensation" for you having autism.

I doubt if saving for a "scooter or holiday" was in Bevan's thinking when he introduced the safety net of the Welfare State for those too ill to work.

Just sayin'

Online games (mmo's like World of warcraft, eve online, starwars: the old republic) but that's not enough for me, i also buy a LOT of the *coins* in some of the games for *extras* etc.

In WoW try mining, cooking etc and selling your stuff on the auction house. Sort of like work, except you get to kill baddies while you do it. Absolutely no need to spend any more than they already charge you for the game.

Have you considered free games? If you're a Blizzard fan, perhaps Hearthstone? The only game I ever enjoyed was WoW but then I found Hearthstone and it's equally as enjoyable, plus you can play it on your phone and it's free.
