Speaking as someone on benefits I would need to earn £1572 a month after tax to get the same benefits I get now, I've taken off child benefit as I'd get that if I worked or didnt work but that just covers private rent, council tax income support (of a week) and tax credits. However if I was able to rent a council house I would only need £1140.
At present I can only work between and as I have a disabled child to look after outside of those hours so I would need to earn per hour to just cover my living cost. I've been to employment agencies and applied for job and the most I can earn is a hour leaving me out of pocket by per hour amounting to a week. Even if I had a council house and paid lower rent I'd still be per week out of pocket.
I know there is help out there even if I do go back to work, but it worked out I would be working for £5 a week, and anyone tried to get a job working -
Do you really realise how bad it is living off benefits, I hardly go out, probably once every 3 months if I am lucky. I get to sit in my house 7 days a week looking at the 4 walls and to tell you the truth it aint nice. I hardly see anyone during the day as everyone I knows works and I've started to think there is no hope of getting a job again, I have to look after my disabled son for the rest of my life, it wasnt my choice to have a disabled son.
You really need to take a step back and think how lucky some of you are to be able to go out to work even if you dont like the job you do dont earn enough, cos I would love to be able to do that and actually be able to have some adult conversation.
You also need to take a step back and not judge others on benefits who at the end of the day are only claiming what the government say they are entitled to. The government is to blame not the people claiming it.

Well it seems there is some sense to come out of all this, and funnily enough it comes from the Daughter of the lazy scrounger.

It certainly destroys your ridiculous, baseless and prejudiced assumption in an earlier posting that:
"Their kids will grow up with no respect for nothing, and will expect the same kind of hot and cold benefits as the useless parents currently enjoy."

Imagine for a second having a Father like she has, I would think many would want nothing to do with him.
Make up your mind Kenty! On the one hand you're arguing they'll all grow up to be scroungers because of his influence, and on the other you're saying they'll want nothing to do with him.

My mind is made up....he is a scrounger, she is a baby machine courtesy of the taxpayer, and after all that one of them detests what her Father is.
She is one in a very few who look at this, in a way that most would not even be able to comprehend.

now you can call me a cynic if you want but I suspect the 'cash in hand' payment from the daughters story is as we speak winging it's way to the fathers pocket.....oh those newspapers what tinkers they are...travelling both sides of the street.....of course no-one here will possibly object to the girls 'enterprise'
