Re: unemployed

Great stuff, an investigation will be launched if the DWP suspect that rules have been broken…wonder how much that will set us back.

Then again, it's Scotland, maybe it will just incur costs on the Scots...........Nahhhhh, I'm being silly

2 grand and unemployed the mind boggels

if i won the lottery i would be unelployed faster than a kid out of school

if someones money is legaly obtained or if the limit of allowed savings allows 2 grand when on benefits then good luck to them

in the case of this guy i just hope he was a united fan because 2 grand to watch your team loose and get done for benefit fraud would suck lol

I would tend to agree with you..............IF:

the guy in question was temporarily unemployed and had previously contributed to the system

If those two criteria do not apply then I think we should all be asking questions
