I've pretty much always worked, got a job within months of leaving school at 16 and worked pretty much since, 'cept when super sick, like, with operations and shit.
Even when I was about 10 I worked in my Dad's shops on a saturday 'cus paying me is cheaper than a babysitter; plus, I enjoyed it.

I tried like 3 times to claim sick-pay, but I always ended up giving up 'cus the system is too complicated for me.

not sick pay then

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 10:42, Reply)

Well, no, the payment you get for being sick, rather than for job seekers.

incapacity benefit?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 10:51, Reply)

Yah', something like that.
They need to do some kind of half-way one, if they don't already, donno... like for those who can do part-time or whatever.

tl:dr

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:00, Reply)

but you receive child benefit

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 10:53, Reply)

no, my kids do
either way it's just them giving me some of my money back
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 10:55, Reply)

no, you do, it is paid to parents.
It's a state benefit.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:01, Reply)

on behalf of my kids
I'd happily receive a tax cut equivalent to the value of the benefit. Far more efficient
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:04, Reply)

not for parents at the bottom of the scale
And not for HMRC either.

because you live in the UK and that's what happens

nah m8, parliamentary democracy innit

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:21, Reply)

I'd love that.
Currently I just pay the tax and the ex-wife gets the benefit.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:06, Reply)

it makes sense to remove benefits for more affluent people and tax them less

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:08, Reply)

no, it doesn't

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:08, Reply)

yes it does, it'll remove the adminstration costs involved in collecting the money, processing it and then giving it back
simplify maaan
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:10, Reply)

no, it really doesn't

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:14, Reply)

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 8 Oct 2014, 11:28, Reply)

Seems to me, and this might be a bit Daily Mail, but the only way into the system is if you're dishonest.
But on the other hand I was watching this "Benefits House: 26 kids" thing the other day, and that life ain't or me. I like my luxouries.
