Coming into money - affect benefits?

erm, I'm not sure that a holiday would be accepted as reasonable?
An alcohilic spending money on booze is likely to be accepted though, due to an inability to budget / control spending properly.0 -
Hi Real
I don't see why a holiday wouldn't be classed as acceptable. Family time is very important and i'd say classed as a therapy to avoiding many illnesses.
After working all year and can't afford a holiday for my family it is extremely stressing.
For people on very low income(benefits) this MUST be classed surely as acceptable!!!!(very good argument i'm sure)Forums can be/are a good guide to entitlement and it is good practice to back it up with clarification from the relevant department/specialist with written confirmation to safeguard yourself.0
