If you look at facts and figures only a small amount of people are on benifits,I worked all my life 43yrs was lucky enough finance wise,to retire a few years early.I paid into N.I to obtain a Old age pension,and also a comp pension both give me enough to live on but stops me getting any benifits,unlike a lot of politians who claim more in expenses in a year than I recive in a decade,I recently read about
one in particular who reguly claimed £39 for breakfast and at the same time voted to reduce disability payments by £30.
