Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000
I suppose really have to look at the situation they are in now. OK, they appear not to have handled their windfall very well, and now left with nothing, so do not see why they should not be able to claim benefits at the end of the day.
I have never handled my money terribly well when I was on a good income, ( spent on my kids obviously) so would the benefits people judge me and say you had your chance so tough.  |

Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000
They were obviously getting too much money in benefits already, if they can afford to buy scratch cards.
They should be forced to pay the money they owe, and should not be entitled to housing benefits until the goods they bought with their windfall have been sold. Some people have the cheek of the Devil.

Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000
That link shows how they misspent half of it - was the other half spent on day to day living when they had Income support stopped?
That link doesn't say WHEN they won it - could be years? The rules have always been there on Income Support which ask claimants to explain how capital has been spent. Many old dears lost out by giving away money to their children and then found out that they were treated as still having it!

Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000
if they have no visible income and can prove past expenditure
can clear any debts on housing surely they would fit the critique and would be entitled to benefits  it doesnt mention what has happened to the static caravan they bought ?

Cheeky beggars. They fritter away £100,000 and then expect benefits.

Re: couple want benefits after spending £100,000
If they can prove where that £45,000 went then they wil get the benefit, but they cant so they stuffed!!
but if they are telling the truth then , yes they should be entitled to it! what i cant understand is why they spent it stupid! they could have bought a house with that!! better still, instead of selling the caravan, why dont they live in it

I disagree. What if someone on benefits won millions on the Lottery, but spent it all on a Picasso, would they still be entitled to claim benefits? Not in my book they wouldn't.
