Family life on benefits

[Prepared Chick]

Though those that are boozing, making children like rats and smoking who are on benefits are always sensationalised in the paper.

There are some people who I know are on benefits (incapcity / who have cancer and other health issues) and they check the meter everyday so see if they can afford to put on the heating. Because yes they may get free travel (disability pass) they have to take a minicab because of pain/mobility etc which eats up their money not to mention the cost of food for health eating which is so important if you have cancer. (All the sweet unhealthy food is nice and cheap) So there is a flip side to what is not really shown in the press. (social manipulation)

Though I agree that there should be a cap at £26,000 I would have gone one further and capped child benefit for 2 children - If a family wants to have 5/10/15 then that's nothing to do with the state - go find a job to support all these children.
