People slag them off because they neglect to understand that not everyone on benefits conforms to their stereotype of someone of benefits. It would seem here she was probably entitled to benefits but got trapped in the system, it's certainly harsh that her benefits are withdrawn and Hackney ask for £200 back.
People don't think clearly under stress either. I doubt she logically concluded it would all be ok and instead cracked under the strain.
