  1. Not unless they gave the money to charity or paid for their sick child's medical treatment (or equivalent). If they squandered the money they should do like everyone else who has never won money and just make ends meet any way they can.


  2. I think they prob have a lesson to learn, like how to handle money but if they have no money for rent then they should be given some help. If they dont look for work then maybe its time other benefits are cut. I think they have been very stupid with their cash but lets face it £100,000 is not an awful lot these days if you're not careful with it.

  3. No way! Unless ofcourse they spent the money on something they really needed like medical help or something.

    There are people who never see that kind of money in their lives but still manage to pay their rent.

  4. Isn't there an aphorism that goes like this, 'A fool and his money are quickly parted'?

  5. no cos they wasted it

  6. Well means testing doesn't take into account how much you had in the past. It is based on what you have now.

  7. Sure. Why not?

    You sure as h**l know that if you or I was in that situation we would expect help.

    £100,000 doesn't go far these days.

  8. No! Unless as someone has said the have used the money for a charity or to pay medical bills. They should know to save or budget there money wisely.

  9. Automatically, I thought of course not, but If I was in the same situation, I would like help. My family pays for my grandmothers rent because she misspent her money for years and now she has nothing. So I believe that they should be helped.

  10. Yes, why not. Its not about who you were in the past.

  11. no way,, the husband looks a scummy t**t,, why does'nt he get a job, he complains of a frozen shoulder,, i'd soon thaw it for him!

  12. No...bcoz these people need education on financial literacy..not help with their rent...bcoz once they get any more money they will wate it...they need to be educated to enable them to chnage the way they view money
