Doesn't need to wait, all she has to do is get her unruly brat diagnosed with ADHD claim DLA for it, then claim carer's allowance for being a full time carer for it, which will also get her income support as she can't work being a full time carer. Not to mention housing benefit and council tax benefit. etc.

Have you ever signed on? The Advisors couldn't care less. Not once while I was signing on did the advisors follow up on applications I had made.

One week I just made all 3 up to see what would happen. Nothing, I was signed off as normal.

All I can say is I am glad I'm back in work. Signing on is depressing stuff.

How about putting yourself in their position?, for example, be given two toddlers, home YOU as a single parent, place you and your family on a council estate, be given the only legal benefits you are entitled to, try and juggle that along with work.
 
seems to me you start a few then disappear for whatever reason then never fill in the blanks and then a random thread about something else then repeat or thread gets locked

Honestly don’t seem why you didn’t get a holiday ban for the post in another thread

tell her to make false claims such as him raping her, so he is locked up and he realizes what kind of monster he is.

give a women some children and she gets benifits, so that will make her happy and you get a lot of sex , its so simple, of course she will have to wait 9 months before she gets any money and a house so you either have to provide for her till then or she has to get JSA or get a job , evil world i know

but dont most females want children just for the free $$$ and to sit at home etc?, surely this excites them a lot instead of having to claim JSA or working

You seem to think anyone who wants kids or have kids are going to sit on backside and do nothing and live on JSA or whatever

just glad I don’t share the same outlook on life that you have

Yep. How do credits for childcare work exactly?

Is it 100% for people on low incomes before it gradually drops off?

Some info for the UK childcare costs.

If you work and pay for childcare you may be able to get tax credits to help with the costs. You can claim as soon as you start paying childcare costs and only for the amounts that are actually paid by you.

You must use registered or approved childcare. This can include childcare provided by nurseries, childminders, foster carers, out of school hours clubs and nannies. There are different registration and approval rules for each part of the UK. Check that your childcare provider meets these rules before you make your claim.


If you're a single parent you must work 16 hours or more a week to claim help with childcare costs.

I don't know if this is updated? You work 16 hours or more and pay childcare: entitlement tables : Directgov - Money, tax and benefits

This April working parents across the country will get a shock – despite inflation running at 4.8 per cent the childcare costs they recieve under Working Tax Credit will be cut by 10 per cent. And there is no indication that things are going to get better. It remains unclear how childcare costs will be met under Universal Credit, with early indications that support may be even less than is available at present, and several recent Government consultations on new mandatory welfare to work programmes have been unable to commit to providing childcare for parents who are required by Jobcentre Plus to take part. It’s too early to call for sure but indications are that the Government’s position is becoming increasingly conservative: if work doesn’t pay you enough to cover your childcare costs then it’s time to get back into the kitchen (unless of course you’re a lone parent).

Social engineering?

I have blogged here previously on Iain Duncan Smith’s ambivalence about reducing work incentives for ‘second’ earners. It seems that this deeply conservative understanding of the labour market is now spreading to the Department’s approach to childcare costs – if you think that children are best cared for by their mothers, and labour under the misbelief that most families can meet their living costs on one salary and that our society can afford to grow its economy without fully utilising the skills and experiences of working women, then it doesn’t matter a bit if the amount of childcare you offer households falls. Lone parents, arguably those with the most to lose from this new policy (forced to look for work under the Department’s new benefit rules but now more likely than ever not to be able to afford the childcare costs of employment), are by this worldview also not a key concern – maybe by making their lives harder the Department believes that these (mainly) women will be incentivised towards married life as soon as possible.

They probably will want another baby soon as there told they have to go to the job centre, unless they made a rule that says you can't have another child within X amount of years , that way they can't live in a easy loop hole.

Wow - only one and a half pages until the OP suggests enforced birth control - are you a Communist?
 
very few jobs would accept

9:30am ish to 2:30-3 pm

kids to school > kids home time "Juniors"

if they would get a job doubtfull it would pay well
and they would still be on benefits to make it up

the total amount would strain for "good" childcare if any
 
Brilliant!
