she really needs her head shakeing!! fair enough when ur on benifits u get council tax, housin benfit paid for you (if in a council house) but getting paid £56 per person a week is NOT enough to live on with a child. ok yeah u get child benifits and child tax credits but that certinaly isnt enough.
i know this because when me and my OH was on income support, which had to be switched to JSA as from when my LO turned 12 weeks old......luckly for us, we got help and my OH managed to get set up self employed and i can say im glad he has. at least i have a little extra to put away each week for when my LO gets older and towards xmas.
