dhss handouts

[jacksprat16]

in the town i live in i see lots of young men & women that can only be called "wasted" by that i mean slurred speech (drink and drugs) vacant looking usually fffing and blinding some with either can of kestrel in their hand or big bottle of cider.
do these I'm talking about get the same handouts as genuine people looking for work?? i thought you had to be eligible for work,these? no way couldn't even fill a form in but they can be up early for the dhss office when its their day for handouts i can see it from our house,

the DWP do fund your habits just by the very fact you get any money at all!

you know kestrel is 9.4 strength and normal lager is 5.0 ?? does not take much to get drunk unless you have a hard drinking habit

[ummmm]

You do get extra money (according to my OH) because an alcoholic, depending on the severity, shouldn't just stop drinking as it's dangerous.

not for the first time on ab, we have the abers commenting on people who are receiving benefits.....................any one who has an addiction is NOT given extra benefits because of their addiction, they may receive a benefit which is health related. if anyone is aware of someone who is receiving benefits illegally. rather than moan about it .....report them...........
