    Check on http://www.entitledto.co.uk/ and this should help see if you're getting all the right benefits.
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
  • It's hard when you work part time and are young with no children, there are not many benefits available. Is there not any way you can increase your hours?

    Why dont you get another part time job instead of looking for free money? loads of people have more than one job to make ends meet. loads of people work full time and have a part time job too.

    Yeah work 60 hours a week. just see how much you will benefit from being self supporting, you can get up early everyday then, I know its pretty unusual nowerdays, but has been known for people to have a full time job and some people with a full time job have a part time one as well ? the below site may be of use to you Best of luck.

    Completely under-whelmed by the kindness and empathy shown here to the OP. There may be a good reason why he doesn't have a full time job. You lot are just ripping him to shreds - what help is that? You really haven't got the point of this forum have you? I am ashamed of you people...........

    If there was a good reason as to why the op can't work full time then perhaps he/she should have mentioned in the original post, as the original post was very limited to a tiny amount of information then how exactly can other posters help :confused: the original post below:

    The op is 18 and only works 20 hours per week :eek: the only honest opinion is to get another job or increase their hours at their employment so that is what is being advised. Not really rocket science is it...
