if she has more money from her dole
Than she needs for food, accomodation, heating and transport etc then she should give it back.

Otherwise its basically benefit fraud.

However, if she's opted to go for a lesser-rate of all those in exchange for being able to save, then I think thats fair enough.

but is it really her money?
or is she "saving" someone else's money?

the question that i think anyone who is a long term benefit claimant (the ones who could work but choose not to, not the ones who can't work or can't find a job, obviously) needs to ask themselves is:
"where does the money come from?"

do they think the country is a bottomless money pit? or do they think that the rest of us like working every hour god sends to pay for them? in this woman's case, i couldn't care less if you're worse off for working, love. i just want you to pay your share and then i'm v happy for you to get assistance. i don't get it, i would feel horrifically guilty.
