Congratulations!

I joined the company pensioner club this month but have to wait 5 years to be a government one :-S

Now don't let all that new found wealth go to your head :-D

Having been told by your Boss what to do all your working life, you can now do what YOU want to do.

It is new found wealth for me. I have been paid no benefits since 29th July.

Quite wickedly, I think,your contributions as a carer on carers allowance don't count towards Job Seekers Allowance and there is always a way round paying Income Support.

I stopped bothering to pretend to look for work I knew I wouldn't get and going through the fiasco of going to the Job Centre Plus (plus what I would not like to surmise) a couple of months ago because I was not being paid anyway so now I have to go through all the Housing Benefit rigmarole again, submitting bank details and everything else.

It will keep me busy in my old age won't it!
