benifits help?

Question

last week i did not recieve my income support. when i phoned i was told i was no longer allowed to get it and that i will have claim j.s.a and sign on, making me available to work. i do not have a problem finding work/going back to work!! i have a wife and 6 kids. i have always done my 50 percent of responsibilities, maybe more as i do all the cooking and most of the housework. my 3 eldest kids had to be moved from our local school as they were badly bullied and the best school i now take them is a bus ride away. because i now have to go back to work, my wife does not want me to as she will not be able to handle looking after 6 kids and have 100 percent responsibilities as i won't be at home i will be at work. there is no way she will be able to take the 3 eldest kids to school on the bus in the morning with the other 3 babies in a pushchair. its impossible as i took 3 kids to school and back everyday while she had the babies. what can we do?

i even said i will not claim any benifits for myself and not work, NOTHING! and we live off other money and she just claim for herself on income support, but they still said she lives with me so no!!. i go back to work or we both don't claim benefits and have no money coming in

i need to be home to help look after kids, she can't do it on her own, could you? serious answers please, no time wasters. thank you

i have years of experiance in security so thats what i have to do, 12 hours a day shift work

no family and kids 8,6 and 5

who are you to say dont have too many kids. we tried all contraception and they all failed. we dont have to justify ourselves to anyone!! i dont regret my kids and i dont have a problem working. shall i be a father and husband that dont care and say stuff her, get on with it i dont care? no!! i do care thats why i am asking this question

if my kids weren't badly bullied at their school then i could have gone back to work as its just around the corner for her to take them all. its the fact we now have to travel is why it don't work. these bullies to my kids have started a chain reaction and left us in the ****

SOME ANSWERS HERE ARE FROM THICK PEOPLE, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM GOING BACK TO WORK. I DO WANT TO WORK FFS!!!!

people on benefits do pay tax too. why don't you go and tell all these imigrants to their faces to stop scrounging off the taxpayers and leave the british people alone who is just concerned for his family and wants to work and is more worried for the safety of hiss family. i bet you dont have the guts to walk up to an imigrants face and say it do you? i do want to work but also worry about my wife and kids. if you dont have clever solution then go away!!

Answer 1

if you get in touch with an organisation such as surestart they will be able to offer your wife support with the kids.You could also request an interview with the jobcentre...specify the hours you would be available to work etc they will take your situation into account but there is no way around it..... you know that.But pull on every resource you will find some help out there.Have you applied to the council for free transport?Sometimes they will pay taxis etc good luck x oh and try citizens advice

Answer 2

You sound like one of the many people taxpayers money is wasted on. You had the kids, YOU look after them. Why the hell should we.

If you were not man enough to look after 6 kids, you should have stopped at 2. It will probably take 4 peoples taxes to pay what you take from the system on a weekly basis and your moaning about it.

Get yourself a vasectomy before you burden honest taxpayers any further. We want to pay for our own kids, not the kids of two people who show no common sense at all.

Iv got a cousin who had kids from the age of 16, with the sole intention of not working, shes now 39 and never worked a day in her life. Now her 18 year old daughter is about to have twins, and has moved a turkish immigrant into the house, all at the tax payers expense.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

reply: You reckon were thick, you have 6 kids YOU CANT MANAGE and were the thick ones, i bet our collective financial statuses are better reading than yours. We have families WE pay for, because WE are a damn site more intelligent than the likes of you.

reply2: So you pay taxes do you, i take it you are a smoker then, or perhaps like a tipple, you dont work, therefore you dont pay taxes, You have an answer or excuse for everything that is said to you. There is 1 basic point here. You are'nt man enough to look after your family. And as for having the guts to tell an immigrant he is a scrounger, no problem. Us working people will just use the guts, that we use to fend for ourselves, where are your guts going to come from. I suspect you've already put a claim in for them. Dont worry, there in the post. Enjoy your early retirement.

Answer 3

Wow where shall I start you poor old sod, my heart is bleeding for you, you call people thick when you haven't the intelligence to use proper contraception, you have six kids then bleat because they are too taxing for your missus to look after on her own, poor you.

It sounds to me like you have an excuse for everything, you say you want to work and in the next breath give reasons why you can't, how do you think us INTELLIGENT people get on in life, we understand contraception and taking resposibility for our actions,we pay for our own children AND YOURS, WHERE IS YOUR SELF-RESPECT,IT MUST HAVE DISAPPEARED YEARS AGO ALONG WITH YOUR BRAINS, the only thing you seem capable of doing is banging out kids and whinging about how hard it is to look after them,

YOU are ablight on society I have to work so you and your lazy missus can sit at home all day and complain about how hard life is, yes we are stupid for allowing ourselves to be taken for a ride by a lazy good for nothing scrounging scumbag who will always have an excuse, instead of using your balls to have children try getting some backbone and support your own family, if that means long hours then WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD,

excuses thats all your good for, I am disgusted to think I am paying for you in any way shape or form.

GET A LIFE,SOME BACKBONE AND MAYBE YOU'LL EARN A LITTLE SELF-RESPECT, I suspect you have a long way to go...,,,

Answer 4

get a job with security like u mentioned but on night time shifts, that way u can take the kids to school in the morning, then go bed, and as your getting up for work in the afternoon u watch the babies while ur wife picks the eldest kids up

Answer 5

Oh dear you should just keep sitting on your arsehole like you do now and i will work an extra day to pay my taxes and keep you in comfort
Why dont you let your kids come and live with me and the wife and we will feed them
after all we are paying for the buggers now

Answer 6

go to work when your kids are at school, so then your wife either wont have many to handle or none (not sure on ages of your children)
sign on claim job seekers, and if it really is too much hire in some help for your misses, get them off to nannys or grandparents for few hours to give her a rest.

either way you have to either get a job or go without benefits its up to you, and not to seem harsh but you shuldn't have had that many kids if you couldnt cope

at the end of the day you have to work or she does...... and cut back on things like....hmmm the internet? i am a single mum admittedly i only have one, but i work part time and admittedly i am on benefits but i can;t afford luxuries like internet!
(and before anyone gets smart, i come to my mums to use hers)

Answer 7

Well I'm not thick, but i can see from your poor use of english you are pretty much in the remedial band.

Six kids you cant look after because of your own obvious inadequacies, and a wife who was too stupid to apply the proper use of contraceptives.

You had those kids to get out of work, you are a tax scrounging lay-about who should be struck off the benefits system. people like you(ponces) make me sick.

Answer 8

You should have thought of that before you knocked your wife up with 6 kids !!! Get a job you lazy bum and provide for the family that you made. Us tax payers are sick of spongers - all it takes is good organisational skills and your wife will cope. xx

Answer 9

Why in the heck are you having more kids than you can afford to take care of? Anyway, you made your bed so to speak so I think that you should work and take care of your responsibilities. Is it really fair for the rest of the taxpayers to cake care of you and yours for the decisions you've made?

Answer 10

There are many variables here, you should seek appropraite advice from eeither your local social work office or citzens advice beureau. But briefly here are some of the main principles that you need to address:

Firstly if you were claiming Income Support previously, why did this end? You can claim IS if you are a Lone parent, are ill or disabled and incapable of work or you look after someone who is disabled. Do or did you fall into any of these catergories? If you don't then you will have to sign on for JSA and actively seek work, however, if you are sick then you should have receivved written notification of why your Income Support ended, any decsion taken on your benefeit claim is appeable and agian the Social Work Office will help you with this. If your wife is unfit for work then she can claim IS for both of you. To be unfit for work you GP needds to certify you as unfit, with this many kids I don't think your wife will have much trouble getting signed as unfit due to stress/anxiety. You sound as though you may be fit.

If you claim JSA you must agree a Jobs Seekers agrement, which details the type of work you will be required to look for, the hours, start times etc. Given your personal circumstances it would be reasonable for you to restrict the hours and start times due to your child care committments, If the jobcentre refuse this they must tell you why and again you can appeal this decision (use the Welfare Rights officer in your local social work office to help you).

Answer 11

Apply for work that means you can still take the children to school - night work, shift work, working from home, work with flexi time.
Can the oldest children not get the bus alone?
Are there any other relatives that could help?
