Hold on...people are annoyed that freddie claimed like 2 weeks of jobseekers allowance whilst he was loking for a job...its what it is there for..and i believe his comment about pocket money most likely came out wrong, i mean, he doesnt have to pay board or anything so i suppose what he earns/gets, is his to waste in a way.

But Lisa can claim for 20 years and noone can say a word against her as she may have a disability that stops her from working(which i think is a made up excuse from lisa fans TBH) or because she has had jobs previous but lost them...

Isnt freddie in the same situation? Yea his parents have a big house. Big deal, they obviously dont spoon feed him or why would he bother with the dole? for the paltry 100 quid a fortnight or whatever it is?

Where is the logic??

From a mate who works in a Jobcentre, DLA(disability allowance) is often used by a small number of people so that they dont have to constantly sign on, it also saves the periodic reviews put on people who are on JSA/IS

Saying that judging by her visible ability to move around and sit at the bus stop for prolonged period she reckons(jokingly) Lisa wont be on DLA when she gets out, as new claimants have a stricter system to get through, they are slowly working through the older claimants, as they come up for review.
