This is a true story about my Missus' sister. Lives in Basildon and is 25. She has had it very easy growing up yet claims she was bullied and this has caused her to be affected now so much so that she claims some kind of benefit for it.
Truth is she's the bully. She's a big girl and was one of those kids who pushed kids around yet claimed she was the victim when no one wanted to hang around with her!
Anyway, her husband doesn't work either. Living in a one bedroom house she decided she wanted a bigger house and when she was told she didn't qualify for one she phoned us up crying. 2 months later and she's pregnant and calls my Missus up saying 'Yay now ill get a 2/3 bedroom house'. Scum.
So to summarise. She's 25 he's 27. They don't work. She has never and he hasn't for 2/3 years and doesn't want to. They had a second baby for the sole reason of getting a bigger gaff. She has told us that despite paying minimal rent and council tax she receives £1700 per month with benefits including housing benefit, child benefit, child tax credits and WORKING TAX CREDITS!??!!
I work 40-45 hours per week and earn £1900 per month and have to pay full rent, C/T etc like everyone else. They get £1700.00 to themselves and sit on their fat arses all day long.
She even got a £200 Xmas allowance from the council after claiming she was so depressed she couldn't afford any presents. My Missus phoned her up and when she told her this she asked her what she did with SEVENTEEN HUNDRED QUID every month and she said 'I don't know!'
Needless to say they both smoke, drink and she smokes the ol' green stuff.
