Read through the comments until you get to the one by Jeff Bell at 1.09pm today and tell me it doesnt affect you.

This is what you call doleys and scroungers Paul, whatever put this woman in this position is neither here nor there but it is what she is going through now and many more are going to suffer like this, before this bloody government has finished, Im reading stories similar to this everyday and my heart goes out to them

The following comment after the one by Jeff Bell has a lot of credibility

Where are the farthers of her children and why are the CSA not making payments to her? Why are her benifits including child ben being witheld and under investigation. Finally if the situation is really that bad why have her friends and neihbours not reported to social services so at least the children could be taken into care until things are sorted out. As the writer says something dosent stack up here.

Sorry but it reads likes a carefully crafted piece of propaganda.

I'm not saying that there aren't women in similar situations but to imply that all people claiming benefit are purely victims of their situation/circumstances isn't accurate.

and yes, I know what it's like struggling, my parents had very little, my mum went hungry to feed us kids.  My dad worked all hours doing two jobs to keep a roof over our heads. We hid when someone came to the door in case it was debt collectors. So I do understand but it is a fact that some people choose to claim benefit and not work.
