Read in todays edition of the Donegal News that there is a couple in Letterkenny with 4 children and in total each week they claim...wait for it, wait for it......€1,763, not monthly, WEEKLY!!!!!

He gets €322 as hes on disability (probably too fat to work) She's his carer and so gets €380 a week, they get a Guardians pension for a child taken in of €286, Rent Supplement of €276, Child benefit €288, Special needs benefit for one of their daughters, €211 so a total of €1763 a week!!!!!!!!

Myself and my wiofe work, pay a mortgage, bills, child care etc etc and were taking slightly more than half that home....

No wonder the country is f**ked!!!!!

Much as I don't agree with most of, they do have special needs child. You don't know how much care is needed for them.

Also, child benefit is a monthly payment, not weekly

definitely!!!! theres no way he could have a serious problem which prevents him from working!!!! imo everyone whos on disability benefits is just a lazy parasite on those of us who are superior!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems excessive, gonna reserve judgement though.



(we don't know the specifics do we now?) :rolleyes:

Would you swap with them for double the money?

Disability is 188, not 322.

Here's the bit where it turned from a concerned opinion into a mindless rant.

Peaople jealously posting malicious gossip and assuming that there's a scam with absolutely no eveidence or backup whatsoever and trying to whip up a needless frenzy.

No wonder the country is f**cked up.

DrumSteve

And what? Sounds like a valid excuse to me. They are not in a position to work so she is saving the state money by looking after him.

I can think of far worse wastes of money going on in this country.

A man who is disabled and thus can't work, with a wife who's his carer and thus can't work, with a special needs child bringing home E1000 a week.

Yeah, once you remove the whole disability, special needs, and requirement for a full time carer bits it looks like they got it good.

Lucky bastards.

I'm sure the OP would happily trade in his health and the health of one of his children for such a cushy life.

This post contains much ownage, OP you've just had your ass handed to you.

In all seriousness OP, what should the state do? Stop giving them money? Then what?

Have a think about it for a second, at least.

AnonoBoy

I bet they drive gold-plated Mercedes and live on the moon with all that money!

Knine

Wow OP

Have you any idea what it costs to look after a child with special needs or another adult for that matter?

Its generally a 24/7 job.

Sell a few exclamation marks and you'll be well off too

It certainly wasn't this man or his circumstance that fúcked this country. But rather the parasitic scum at the top of the food chain.

McBauer

Sorry OP but I seem to have missed the part where you highlighted which of those payments the family weren't actually entitled to receive.

Claasman

if they are genuine, (and we have no reason to believe they are not), then its tax money well spent imo. Your health is your wealth, OP.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Well, OP, this isn't going the way you planned, is it? Any chance of a rebuttal...?!

Pimlico

OP those figures are totally inaccurate. I'm not 100% sure what disability allowance is but I think its around €188.

As for Carers Allowance, its €204 per week. I know this because I'm a full time carer to my disabled father. I'm 28 and had to leave my job (good job at that) to care for my Dad after he became completely disabled after a brain aneurysm and several strokes which occurred because of said brain aneurysm.

That family may well be on all of the above payments but I just wanted to point out that those figures provided are totally wrong and I'm sure they are not receiving anywhere as much as what you are saying.

dav3

Come on OP, at least come back and provide a few links to back up your s**** post. Something that we can at least check the figures against?

Dude you should rename your thread. OMFG I'm so jealous cos I work for buttons. Leave the dude and his family alone. None of the figures you posted even make sense. Child benefit for four children is more than €288. The country is fcuked becuase of thick cnuts like you.

if you want to be taken seriously write like a grownup.

In response to your post, Ireland has always been a nation obsessed with schadenfreude.

It is none of your business what these people get in allowances, if you are concerned that there is on ongoing fraudelent claim. It is your right and your duty to report it, otherwise what do you expect the Boardsies to do about it?

The mistake the op has made is taking an example of a family with a disability.

But he is dead right about the obscene levels of handouts in this country.

Cee-Jay-Cee

I was simply posting on what was printed in a local newspaper...i didnt realise that there are a lot of overly sensitive people frequenting this section and probably claiming insane amounts too and so have got all defensive over it.

I never said they werent entitled to any of it, but €1763 a week is way over the top.

And lastly sorry to all those who are offended/bothered by exclaimation marks, i didnt realise that it would effect so many people!!!!!!!

It's not the levels of handout, it's who gets them. I don't care in the slightest how much someone gets as long as they genuinely do need it and specialist care is not going to be cheap.

They actually said "no wonder the country is f*cked!!!" in the local newspaper?

hondasam

If the figures are true I don't see why everyone is justifying it.
I would like to know the ages of the kids and other circumstances before saying it is justified or not.

bbam

In reality we're getting a good deal from that family...

2 Family members need full time care which is provided within the family.. they still have the time and generosity to take in another child who is less fortunite than most of our children and they provide it with a family environment to live in...

If all three of these individuals were taken in by the state and 24hour care provided, the weekly bill would be a few multiples of the sum they receive..

Providing everything is above board we should be tipping our hats to them.. not ridiculing them for doing their best with the hand that life has dealt them.

Do you always post irrelevant links to other peoples posts or is that the best you could muster all on your own?

Ok i admit my title leaves me wide open to criticism and i know i should be a little more tolerant of those less well off (however in this case they are certainly not less well off) However to be in receipt of €90,000 net a year in state benefit which is the equivalent of earning approx €180,000 a year is obscene in my opinion.

And just to piss off all the rest of you...!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't get too worked up over the replies to your post OP. I'd say you have it spot on -

i didnt realise that there are a lot of overly sensitive people frequenting this section and probably claiming insane amounts too and so have got all defensive over it.

Some people have a lot o time on their hands. I'm referring to the times of peoples posts. Most likely they are all on the dole and getting payed to sit around and browse the net- Not all their fault I know, but as you can see, any attack on government payouts gets their backs up !
But seriously, I think we all know that the weekly amount handed out to this family, if correct, is obscene and makes any paye worker think of just dropping onto social welfare, IMHO.
(BTW - I'm on my lunch break)

In the absence of anything linking the OP to reality we'll dismiss this here and now as a rabble rousing load of ole balls.
