Romanian Big Issue seller wins right to housing benefit - Telegraph

"I came to the UK in 2007 to look for work. The only work I could find was selling the Big Issue on the streets of Bristol."

IMO the UK should welcome economic migrants. But I dont think she is one of them. Though her personal circumstances are tragic, this country is no longer rich.

If she is self employed how is she entitled to benefits?
If she is a carer how can she find time to work.
If she is capable of work why is she getting DLA.

Dear me, the whole system needs review if this type of b*lls is happening when will they understand the country is sinking we don't need more people draining money out of the economy we need more of them to put the money in

So the Romain population here in Munich just up and left this morning, where did they do?

[TimberWolf]

Surely if she has kids she has a free pass to the front of the housing queue?

We should just put up a sign saying everyone welcome, I know in Denmark you have to have worked 7 years before you are entitled to any benefits. Still there are those here that were born in the UK that have never done a stroke of work in their lives.

And if she is homeless why does she need housing benefit?

And if she isn't homeless why is she selling the big issue??

Yes, and won't have done 7 years by the time they qualify for a state pension either.
