I am a single mum receiving job seekers allowance , I am working part time , today I was approached in a nice way by the school secretary and asked if I would mind declaring this so the school could receive funding , I am not proud of receiving job seekers allowance and am doing my best to try and find work, but my dh school is in quite an affluent area and hardly any one is in receipt of benefits , I would be horrified for my dh it was discovered and she was teased and made to feel inferior .I have always paid for everything I.e schools meals ,outings to specifically avoid this ,but now if I refuse the school won't receive the funding and it looks like I am not looking at he best interests of the school , so really in between a rock and a hard place , does anyone know if the school are actually informed of the people that are receiving benefits,
