The missus has just started with the DWP, only been there a week and getting shown the ropes. is in as a manager but been on the "shop floor" so knows what the crack is...
4 differant new claims in the same day and job centre...
1... old Asian woman, speaks no English. Friend speaking for on her behalf... Puts a new claim in for child support of £50 per week per child - has 6 kids... reason why, husband fancies going to india for an undisclosed time and due to it not being business related she can legally claim even tho still together, this woman over claimed by 9k 4 years ago as forgot to mention he was back...
2... young Asian man, unsuccesfull claimant last year of JSA as had 60k in savings from a house sale. back in today for new claim... has no money, states been in pakistan for 10 months and used all that money for living expenses. is now claiming - guessing that 60k wont be in a friends account!!!
3... 51 yr old white man with learning difficulties just made redundant from trolley pushin. cant claim JSA as declared savings, lives with parents so get nothing else either. still has to come pointlessly to sign on for national insurance contrubutions or could lose pension. he'll probably never work again...
4... dutch citizen - asian woman (speaks NO dutch), been here a while. succesfull claim on JSA straight away... reason dutch passport senior management tells missus, lots in this area too. borders are pretty much closed in the UK for non skilled workers despite what the papers say, so many seeking asylum in other european states... then where only a ferry ride away once you have your kids here!!
Anyway make of the above what you will.
Told the missus dont tell me anything about your work ever again, its just pee's me off and stuff like this kinda depresses you if you've worked all your life and get nothing!!
