Benefits advice struggling to make ends meet

Hi both,
poppy is right I’m living with my sibling and do pay rent I won’t be living anywhere rent free and have to use benefits I do not have the housing component
@WhatThe . It’s not fair to have an assumption of me as I am always in overdraft. I am not going to list things to you which I have to pay for. I was just asking the community and seeing if I was entitled to more as yes I’m entitled!If you are unhappy with what you are receiving as you have stated you can ask this online community as they’re here to help but it’s not necessary to tell me I’m an awful person do u think I wanna be here claiming benefits im too sick to work before this illness my life was fun and I was doing amazing things at work.
Anyways maybe your going through a hard time so your taking it out on me. Life isn’t easy at the moment especially with everything increasing in price I don’t live somewhere for free even if it’s with family in a grown woman so I do have to pay for my own things and I do pay bills and rent as I have mentioned
I do hope things improve for you and I’m sorry your not getting that much1 -
I said the statement was confusing and that it bothered me but I don't think I've pried into anything. Bothered enough to comment.
Nice thought ilovepink but the fortunes of thousands of us won't improve and learning to budget is the only solution. I feel lucky to have food, shelter and internet access because I know many don't and won't as a result of welfare reforms.
If you're scared why take the risk for a few more quid? How could dealing with JCP be easier than not dealing with JCP?
We all have to use our benefits for food and bills is all I've said. Goodnight.

As ilovepink will also be entitled to the LCWRA element from the start of their claim they won't have to deal with the job centre after their first appointment (which can be by telephone) because they will have no work commitments.
I'm not sure exactly what your issue is here, if someone is entitled to benefits then they should claim what they are entitled to. There's clearly entitlement to UC based on information given.0 -
