Got a call on Thursday from a nice lady from the social informing me that in November this year the government are stopping giving benefits to single parents who's youngest kids are over 11 , they MUST go back to work, she asked me a few questions on the phone and said would i like to go to an open day that they have going on in Blackburn college at the end of this month, which i said yes to, at this open day they are going to inform parents of hidden benefits aparently, things that the people down the job centre dont tell you about, she knew that i'd been looking for work anyway and seemed rather pleased that she'd got a happy person on the other end of the phone...has anyone else had the call yet?

i am please with this but will it make other mums have more kids just so they can stay on the benefits system that bit longer? i bet it will
