Re: Welfare myths
I haven't read the whole thread but I will stick my nose in any way with this little story.
4 years ago I was made redundant first time since leaving school I was out of work the company put us on what they called garden leave.This meant 6 weeks off over xmas that was paid if in that time I started work then this would have meant I had left there employment so no redundancy pay.
Anyway I went done the job center and enquired about signing on (for the first time) this is what I was asked to the best of my memory.
Q=Will you get redundancy pay
A=I should chuffing hope after 14 years.
Q=how much.
A-don't now waiting for a letter.
Q=well you cant sign on until you know and we know as you will have to live on that before you get any money,but you can come in every 2 weeks sign on but you will not receive anything until we know how much money you will get and how much your wife earns.
A= F*** that and what my wife earns is her F****** business and not yours.
So I don't think getting benefits is as easy as we all may think so getting people of it is going to be harder.
