I was in prison in my early twenties, AMA

I was in prison about 18 years ago, between the ages of 19-22. I now volunteer with charities supporting female prisoners. AMA

Gov.uk says your are wrong

There is no pip online account

And your children…. It would be DLA? Or is this for your adult son?

Either way - @Lexibletheflexible knows she’s been caught out. Trust me

Is this wrong then? again - no skin in the game - just like to read things are true.

Fair play this is Google but is it wrong?

I’ve no idea whether op is telling the truth or not btw

Adult son gets PIP. You'd know why if you knew us which you don't. Middle child also gets DLA. If you knew us you'd know all about that child and why they get that. But you don't, you're just being creepy.

No of course it isn't wrong!

I’ll leave you to your thread. But 🤷‍♀️ you know I’m right.

Ive never secured anything as a single parent because me and husband live in the same home we own together. If I was going to do crime, I'd just sell drugs again. It's far more lucrative than benefit fraud

If you claim multiple benefits, your government.uk account might be something other than just a PIP online account. For us, it's just PIP

A few years ago a young woman posted whilst she was waiting to be sentenced for something called joint enterprise. She never updated her thread and I often wonder about her.

That's another dubious charge

Or not breaking the law. Call me old fashioned.

Isnt it more to know what theyve done? Obviously if youre on sex offender list they wont take you. Or does jt really not matter?

Exactly . Having a record doesn’t automatically mean you can’t work / volunteer somewhere.

It is about safeguarding

Your moral standards belong in the gutter. But I presume you already know that.

Wow. Why would you jump to that ?

Serious question- have you never come across anyone who has an opinion on the law other than “follow it”?

I think it’s pretty well established that laws don’t have to be respected just because they exist. That’s not bizarre, is it?

Jeez, yes in theory it’s obviously a terrible idea. But 18 years and three more kids later they’re still together and successful and happy (by the sounds of it). Why are you badgering the OP on this, do you think she doesn’t deserve a good life?

Oh did that post ask if I'm a Traveller or gypsy? No, I'm not. Glad MN deleted it but just wanted to clear up that it isn't only those communities who commit crime.
