It's just the bloody people look like they could do with a little extra in their pocket. I think the government should have some sort of warning like:

Whilst we accept most of our revenue is lost from corporate tax and other loopholes, the 3% represented by benefit cheats are where you will find our resources.

(please feel free to get the right statistics, I just went to sleep with that advert spinning in my mind)

I agree with what mummeee said!!

I am a single parent, have no intention of looking for a boyfriend just yet let alone a live in one. But I know when or if that day comes I know I will lose lots of money if we move in together.

Its about time the whole system had an overhaul to make it fairer for everyone.

not that I was suggesting what single parents receive in benefits is too much, (without working it out exactly its probably equivalent to not much more than minimum wage) just that couples living together lose SOOOO much!!
