My best friend asked me a couple of times how much money I get on benefits (I get universal credit, carer's allowance, child benefit and DLA for my child)
We generally have a very open friendship but I avoided the question a couple of times because I felt a bit uncomfortable answering
She spun it in a way that her cousin was applying for DLA for her disabled child and wanted to know what extra she could get etc
I ended up telling her and now she's been ignoring me for a week. She said it was ridiculous that I get pretty much twice as much as her full time job etc
I understand the frustration but it's not my fault, I simply claim what's out there for me to claim. I'm a single mother to a disabled child
AIBU? How can I make this right?
