Don't you get income-based JSA? You would still get Housing and Council Tax Benefit.

They obviously fled Somalia, under fire, just managing to cross over the border into ............. Britain?:confused: This is an island and as such, the place where people were before was safe. It's not as if the airport in the capital was under attack. There are usually safe areas even in places like Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

Don't the children who's parents are on suspended benefits suffer?

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit!
 

This is totally disgraceful. :mad:.
My daughter and her other half with a year old baby, had to go and live in a one bedroomed hostel in Sawston for a year before being considered for a council house here in Cambridge.
They both worked and paid their taxes, but had to endure being placed next door to a drug addict and also opposite an alcoholic who threatened them once with a knife through the open window. ( It didn`t happen again though!) ;)

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit!
 

This sort of situation makes me sick to the stomach, l have worked my nuts off for years, l have been unemployed three times, and the longest time l was out of work was three years, and we were given peanuts and when we applied for certain things we were turned down.

They get everything they want and it makes you want to puke, l know for a fact concerning these families, as we have a family that live next door, when our neighbour passed away five years ago, we were quite relieved when a nice family came to our door and introduce themself and two children, and were told they were moving in on the Monday.

11.45pm on the Sunday we heard noises from next door, so as a good neighbour l went to have a look, and there were seven women moving in, we found out they came from Somalia and this was there THIRD house since coming here in two years, we went through two months of hell, before we pulled the plug and did something, we found out that they were all on benefit, our weekly rent if £95 per week, we now get on quite well, BUT this thread is only the bottom of a big problem we have, They are moving onto our estates vertially on a weekly basis. Benefit agency and local councils should draw the line at what it pays out, give them dingy flats to live in until they find work and can pay the rent to get proper places.

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit !!!
 

Nope I get nothing. I am begging left right and center to live. I called DWP today to get a review of my claim but they said its very doubted I will get anything. It's not my fault that the stupid goverment say as I am under 21 that I should be paid less than others. How am I suppose to live in £5 a hour.

I have also had a call by my housing officer saying that I will need to move out as I can't pay my rent. Now this is unfair. I may paint my self to see what happens and if I get treated differently.

I wonder why I pay tax. I have been working from the day I turned 16 to just a few months back.

Reason why I left my job:
Rent + council tax adds up to more than my wages

Reason why I dot get housing benefit or JSA:
I left a job that I would get my self in lots of debt with and was unable to pay rent.

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit!
 

NICE regularly pull the plug on peoples lives for less than £1600.00 a week.

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit !!!
 

Race has nothing to do with it, and there is *never* any justification for racism. Period.

Don't go all American on us Stuart :)

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit !!!
 

You appear to be contradicting yourself, and it would appear you are angry at others because you left your job, hoping to get benefits, without checking the rules.

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit !!!
 

How much was your rent and why again did you leave your job?:erm:
Can`t see that your income would exceed your outgoings.!
Whats the minimum working hourly rate now?

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit!
 

My rent is £80 a week plus £15 a week council tax. + gas etc. Thats me not even buying food.

£5 x 30 hours = £150 (£135 after tax.)

and its £4.77 is the min wage for my age.

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit!
 

Someone on JSA would get whatever JSA is £60 a week?
plus the rent and tax paid, which comes to £155 a week. you are actually better off not working you're £20 a week better off already. before you save even more on not having to pay travel costs.

Re: £1600 pw housing benefit!
 

people are getting far away from the main subject, the actual comment is * £1600 housing benefit* the problem the person in the picture is revelling in the fact of where he is along with his family, the council is to blame for this, they should have found him some house that is falling to pieces, that many council tenants have to live in, when my mothers house got destroyed by fire, she was put in a one room apartment which was that small, you couldn't swing a cat, and she lived there for three weeks with my two brothers.
