Makes perfect sense to me. She doesn't need any benefits, even if she is legally entitled. Benefits should be reserved for those who really need them, it is a limited pot after all.

Then shouldn't people like KP be exempt from having to pay large sums of money into the benefit system? Perhaps she could use that money to pay for her disabled sons school journeys.

Carole Malone, another day it how it is Lady, had the following to say about KP in her column today

Headed:

Your £40m will buy a lot of Cabs, Katie

Theres been much debate about whether katie Price is right to accept a £1,000-day-taxi service to take her disable son Harvey to school. Of course, its not right. Nor is it fair to those mums and dads denied this service because their Council couldnt affordit.

Katie Price is worth an estimated £40 million and is making another £500,000 for three weeks on Celebrity Big Brother. And I dont give a stuff that she might be legally entitled to this Super Taxi because of the small print int he benefits rules.
Yes, the 100-mile round trip to Harvey's school everyday if "f..king expensive" (her words).
In which case, why doesnt she do what other parents do when their child needs to go to a special school - move closer, make sacrifices (although its hard to think what sacrifices shes have to make with £40 million in the bank)

Price's mother Amy says "Its hurtful people can criticise Katie for doing the best she can for Harvey".

Im sorry, Pricey's got £40m to do whats best for Harvey. What about doing whats best for parents with kids like Harvey but are skint?

And if I lived in West Sussex, which forks out this cash, Id scream blue murder about councillors who cut vital sevrices for hard up working people and charge the old for care homes, yet fund taxis for a woman who is disgustingly rich (excuse the money jealousy, this woman does write for the Mirror after all, youd never get that in the Sun)

Whats happened here is a blatant abuse of a system (and its the systems fault) supposed to help people who cant help themselves. Not to fund a super rich celebrity who might go shouting to the press about victimisation of her disable son if she didnt get her way. Carole Malone

This echos what I said earlier on another thread, the Welfare State was invented so that those at the top, could contribute to those at the bottom, those STILL at the top (ie: with lots of dosh) are not supposed to be the ones taking OUT of the system, they are just supposed to pay into it so that kids like Harvey from less well off homes, get the same chances he does!

No one would begrudge any disabled child a chance, and Katie Price is doing that by using those funds that could be used for another kid on a waiting list somewhere in West Sussex.........

As it so happens Harvey was in a school close to his home but the Council chose to close the school and insist Harvey was placed in the current school far from home. It was the Council who compromised and offered Harvey the expensive taxi ride every day because of the schools closure. My guess is the school was uneconomical to run and the taxi fair peanuts in comparison.

The Council may have had to taxi other children to the new school unless Harvey was the only disabled local using the school - no mention of them!

Anyone who has a clue about the convoluted benifits system in the UK will know that Harvey needs to be registered and on the Social Services radar because if something happens to Katie it would take years and mountains of letters to get him registered for care. The system is the problem, not Katie Price. The failings and slowness in the system force families to use food banks or starve or live on the streets while the incompetent staff try to work through the mountains of red tape.
