@ mok214 - 14.10.19 - 03:34pm I get cash from the government, but it is my Veterans Disability Pension. Some call it an entitlement, but you have to go through hell to get it. It won't go to the needy if you don't claim it. It'll just go into bigger Christmas parties for senior civil servants. Government expenditure is a complicated business where red tape trumps common sense. Councils who waste money on daft things, instead of filling pot holes or extending the hospital, do so because they have to. It's different money. And if they don't waste their excess, they'll be given less in next year's budget. |

I don't bother claiming benefits, even though I have an illness that is considered to be a disability in some countries. There are other people who need the money more, I'm just fine without it.

Not to mention it pays out a lot better than Social Security does. |

@ dan27notts - 14.10.19 - 03:52pm If you've paid in to the system then you should claim what you're entitled to in my opinion What if someone hasn't paid into the system? No benefits? |

@ mikeymk - 14.10.19 - 03:49pm Then I'd need it. But if I quickly got a new job and didn't need it, I'd be best to claim it and then give it to a charity of my choice, that it be given to MPs expenses... i doubt you would get help with your child |

@ bozzalad - 14.10.19 - 04:35pm i doubt you would get help with your child No, her mum gets it all. And I still have to pay her, as well.. |
