Do you ever wonder how people who claim benefits get so much?

Since my transplant I've received no help from the renal social workers (they all went off sick together and still aren't back 5 months on). I have little money for food and bills, and yet there they are with their designer clothes and 56 inch state of the art tv. Can someone tell me how to do it please!

Wondered,sorry.

They sell their kidneys.........

Yes that's really funny Jack the hat. I was on dialysis for 7 hours a day every day for 6 years.

Have you made absolutely sure that you are in receipt of everything you are entitled to??

[jackthehat]

I'll be here all week........

Jack the prat has issues apparently. Hope you get the help you need.

I have no to ask Mamy-its their job to help you with benefits and things you are entitled to, but as I said they're still of sick (on full pay)

Redhelen, what sort of attitude would you like me to have, hope it never happens to you.

You should know, by now, that this is the frivolous section of Answerbank.....and not everyone *has* to share your blinkered views in order to be able to comment.

you sound bitter. i've been on benefits and was completely skint the whole time. also, you don't have to wait for someone else to claim for you. explore this section of the government website and figure out what you are entitled to. it's not rocket science...
