Subject: But 99 weeks of unemployment compensation is WAY beyond reasonable.

99 weeks?

gosh that isnt very long...there are those in the UK and other countries that have collected a benefit from their Govts. for years and years. 3 names of employers, and signed byt them are all that is needed for another 2 weeks benefit.

Some are born into poverty and just follow on from their parents/grandparents, because there is no work ethic, and they are a bludge on society.

I wish the UK, Aust etc would do what the USA does, and MAKE it hard for them to live on ""hand-outs""

Bernice: . They are trying to change things here. The trouble is people who need the money are having it took off them or cant get it in the process. The system is certainly well up the creek without a paddle

Mousetrap: I'm just glad I'm out of the system. Some of the horror stories that I have heard...

.. eg, a couple working claiming Working families Tax credit find that after some time thanks to the confusion of the red tape... they owe over £2K back. The only thing they did was to attempt the adoption of a teenager which went wrong. The news came over needing to repay a year after the event.
