    actually i think mines a little bit higher than compared to a 9-5 minimum wage job but thats for my personal circumstance, its not everyone, we have extra costs for health reason/equipment, special mobility car and a bunch of other services too. but after its all paid all necessities food bills all that jumbo. usually im left with a few hundred left to go to saving. but before my partner moved in i was saving so much more but thats understandable 2 mouths etc you know.
    I know im better off like this but what about when im gone? what happens if jenny has kids and im gone thats not a situation i want to leave them in so i need to do anything and everything i possible can do change our lifes


    The money you get from taxpayers is given to you so that you can have a normal life and not go without. If you have a partner who puts the needs of their children above your needs as a disabled person then there is something wrong with the attitude of that partner. The money paid to you is for your life not anyone else's.



    Your benefits are paid for by other people's children through their taxes. Now why should the children of other people pay for you and your partner's children to have something that they are not entitled to?



    If your partner wants to leave something for your children then it is up to them to work for it the same as everyone else.



    So all you have to do is to move to a suitable house in the private sector that can be paid for by a mortgage by your partner and you can leave the housing association flat for another disabled person like yourself who is in need of housing. You are no longer in need of housing because you have declared that you and your partner could afford a mortgage.

    she doesn't have any kids you should imagine the worst in people.

    i will not argue with you who is entitle to what but you should remember that you do not decide this at all and its not in your power to tell me these things. But i will agree the world for a normal healthy person is extremely harsh to compete in and i wish i decided who was entitle to what and why just like everyone does but unfortunate thats not how it all works. Your right that i dont go without but now i have a partner and the potential for my own family its not just about me going without I can do that but i will not see jenny or potentially our kids end up like this. Jenny came here because she loves me and wants look after me she had no idea what kind of life awaits when i die and it breaks my heart. The education system in slovakia is sooo bad so where gonna try and get her on more and more courses over the next years as well. edit she also refuses the carers allowance even though she totally deserves it. her words "i dont want to make any problems here..."

    There are many disabled people with mortgages apparently. And the bank as well as the council have both told me that i am able to use my pip to pay for my mortgage once again my pip, money which has been located to me that you have no say in not to mention to be used however i am allowed to use it as it is then my money.

    What makes you think you need to be in need of housing to be in a council house? There are many families over the uk living in such houses and planning to buy their house i will add. Council homes are far better than private landlords because they have duty of care to all their tenants and they go buy the book. NOt to mention you get to buy it off them!!! This is why many thousands of families across the uk go for council over private any day, plus private charges insane bonds deposits advanced rent etc, council has none of that. Its a better option for thousands that cant afford private not just the disabled, This place was my moms from 2003 she wasn't disabled, in fact i remember her moving around city to city i think when i was in the care homes she moved house like every year or so it felt like until finally landing in newcastle.

    Also I have put far too much money into this house to be able to leave it now thats just a ridiculous suggestion, why would i pay a mortgage on another place and not this one?

    if i want to save up my moneys to make a better life for me in the future rather than spend spend spend like a mad man now all the tax payers money thats my decision in fact most have said to me its a very noble idea so...

    Actually i think your wrong, a households income is measured as together. When she moved in they said it went up a little bit because shed moved in and that the money is not just for me anymore but for both of us and now we both have a bank card for it

    And my partner will work for it like everyone else i would imagine, as her partner is my responsibility for kids as much as its hers. Why does she have to fully support the kids and not me?

    !!!! again im so sorry again for getting defensive and snappy you cant imagine how embarrassing this is talking about
