I wonder if anyone that is actually on income support or jobseekers thinks it is plenty of money. People often tell us that they are well off on hand-outs, but have they ever tried to live on this amount, year in year out. Sometimes there are no jobs, circumstances are different, where you live, how far from the shops, whether you need to catch buses etc. When your money runs out for the week, there is no more, no savings, no food in the cupboard. Life can put you into a situation where you have to claim benefits, and it can be near on impossible to break out of the downward spiral of poverty. You can get married, have children, have a mortgage, a nice house, husband clears off, cant pay mortgage, loose your job, loose your house and bingo, your children and bringing them up on benefits.
