Awesome dad is awesome...

What you need to do is apply for housing benefit to pay the fictional rent your dad charges you. The benefits people will pay "your rent" direct to your dad. Then your dad gets the mortgage paid for as well. It's not a scam it's perfectly legal. Due to a shortage of social housing this type of (fiddle) massaging of the rules is common.

I pay my way through life but if you are entitled to some thing I'm all for you getting it. As for work shy scrounges, I wouldn't give them my scrap metal let alone a lift to the pub on my way to work!

I'm sorry...But firstly, I'm at a loss for words with regards to your frankly pitiful advice.

Ok, I guess I'm not that lost for words...Are you mental? What kind of ridiculous advice is this to be giving out? I think the two words 'FICTIONAL RENT' go to show that what you're suggesting is a method of trying to scam the local government where this chap lives. It's fictional rent, because HE IS NOT PAYING ANY RENT!! You can't then expect to go and claim for rent YOURE NOT BLOODY PAYING! Maybe I should ask the government to cough up on child benefits for these 90 'fictional children' I'm fathering...

Just to clear up the legal issues involved with your advice. Any tenancy, that is deemed to be contrived will certainly not pay out housing benefits for, and will no doubt have an adverse affect on the way they view your JSA. This will be deemed as contrived, as IT IS! They will make sure that a full rental agreement is in place, for a price that matches local house rental prices, as well as making sure all the proper private landlord based insurance is in place. As well as whether his Dad has a history of renting privately, and whether the tenant was living there when becoming unemployed. You can definitely claim housing benefits when renting from a family member...but only when you are actually renting, and not trying to scam the bloody system.

Please stop giving out advice.

I really want a job, I can't even begin to describe how I feel not working. It's horrible, really is. The job centre did say I wasn't eligible for housing benefits due to being under 25...

they will pay once you knock her up.
im not saying this is what you will do but its just something that happens sometimes.....
rent coming in which you dont have to pay out, jsa for you and your gf and money for the baby too.

you have had enough criticism already but do the decent thing and try not to go down this road.
 
I'm not rising to this guys. I am keeping my cool. I am applying for about 10 jobs a week, had 1 interview that I failed a couple of weeks ago. Really hate this feeling of uselessness. It's not fair on my amazing girlfriend.

The last thing I need is flack of guys on here.

Lol.

When I was looking for a job I was applying for 10 jobs a night. While working full time. And that was me being picky about what I applied for because I was already in work and wanted something better.

Clearly you're not looking hard enough. :rolleyes:

If you hadn't posted on a forum about how you got a free house from your 'awesome Dad' and then proceeded to tell users that you were going to get BT Infinity and Sky HD even though you are on JSA then you wouldn't have got any 'flack' - what did you expect?

If i felt useless, i would not be posting on a public forum about it - i would be doing something about.
 
This is getting worse, Some of your need to get off your Moral Pedestal before you freeze to death way up there in the heavens. :rolleyes:

This maybe one of the biggest Community forums in the UK but it's scraping the bottom of the barrel with some peoples posts about how they'd do things like this and you do them like that and thats not good enough, i'm better than you, i'm going to make myself feel good today by ripping someone up with my clever self rightous keyboard skills etc etc

Makes me sick, the kind of people in the real world that would run in and kick someone when they were on the ground, then run away bragging how hard they were because they'd just dropped a guy !

Way too many of these threads where you all pile in and lay into someone on the slightest pretext.

its just jealousy if we could all get away with not working and have a free house we all would. unless ocuk is populated with the morons that love working so much they grind themselves into illness because they live to work. must people only get up and go to work because they need money for a house and food, this guy has that covered so why should he bother, ok so maybe sponging off JSA is morally wrong but he's not breaking any laws if he keeps applying for jobs
 
For the ultimate wind up for these fellas on their high horse here, please please please upload a SS of your speednet test results :p

I can afford not to work, and I had a flat bought for me. However, I still go to work and I'm a productive member of society. So, please shut your uninformed mouth.

As I said earlier on in this thread, I really hope you don't succeed in becoming a social worker as you'll be yet another terrible one who will exacerbate the problems of this country rather than help people.

He's probably just getting some practice in as he'll have to pat scroungers on the back and tell them they aren't doing anything wrong.

I hope so anyway, as he's so wide of the mark it's embarrassing.

+1 The people who are backing up the OP have completely missed the point why everyone is a little peed off. Claim JSA by all means as he is a jobseeker, but the allowance is not there to take out contracts for luxuries that are not needed.

There will always be different views on this but I guess it just depends on what sort of person you are your morals.

OP IS looking for work ...

I was commenting on Mr Moon X's view that people who don't need to work wouldn't work. As one of those people, it's nonsense.

I'm not sure why me and Robbo both post - for the last week, we've agreed on EVERYTHING.

Great minds and all that jazz. :p
