How can you counteract this? With savings, loans or the benefits system.
Agreed. Therefore, I would not promote this, but utilise the benefits system in the best way you can. Others do it. By the way Im in nottingham also is work that low in our area. Also do you do any maintenance type work?
What is totally unacceptable is that people who claim income based job seekers allowance are treated very differently in the benefits system versus those claiming contributions based.
I thought that the benefits system was "universal" but its not.
It is a sad state of affairs when we can't even treat everyone the same regardless of their circumstances. Yes some people extract the urine when it comes to benfits but because of that everyone who claims seems to get tarred with the same brush.

If you have paid enough national insurance contributions in the past then you will qualify for NI based JSA for six months.
If you have not paid enough NI and you have no income then you qualify for income based JSA.
For the first you get no help, no free stuff, etc.
For the second everything is given to you on a plate.
