Unbelievable.

[Tortington]

if you had savings from say the sale of your house- the benefits agency would pro rata it out and tell you your not entitled to help becuase you have savings - if you said " oh but i spent it on a world cruise"
they would reply " tough shit" you should have saved it - becuase we are not going to give you benefits in its stead as that is tantamount to paying for the cruise.

hence if this lady is indeed claiming benefits its a fucking disgrace

[Kidstrack2]

She is a total waste of space, if you ask me! That money could turn many peoples lives around, maybe it was a curse to her but wouldn't have been to all the many charities that it could of benefited, if it was that much of a nusance to her she could have set up charites with it!

[charliecat]

Are you working 16 hours or more- No
Do you have any savings over 3000-No
Ok...Have it...and pop along to the council office and get your rent paid too.
Daft innit.

Just awful. Like that dreadful man who won 7 million - can't remember his name but he's a small time criminal who has just squandered the money and made his neighbours' lives hell in the process. I think he got an ASBO in the end.

[JoolsToo]

• I have no idea how the benefits system works but as custardo says - if she's entitled there something a bit wrong!

[RedZuleika]

You've got to hope the sex was good for that money though...

have you noticed, there seems to be a few of those kind of lottery winners, Michael Carroll, the other girl, Carrie (?) I know she was not that bad, but still - it's so unfair"

'Wendy, 26, threw away her money on drugs, champagne and gambling.'

The rest she squandoured, I assume?

(Thank you, Georgie Best.)

think she was in foster care, and took her real family on holiday which resulted in a low of rows, and think she has now cut them all off. she ditched the bloke as well.

last thing i;d read about her was she devoting her life to her baby boy.
