My Mum and Dad never claimed benefits and provided for us, the same way i do for my children.
The reason people don’t work is because they don't need to, If there were no benefits do you really think people would starve ? No they would find a way of making money around there circumstances.
I’m not for one moment says we should be like other countries, but just for a example, in other countries women are back in the fields picking very soon after giving birth, ? Why, because if they did not they would not have the money to feed the baby just born. They work around their circumstances.
This country the thinking is I don’t need to work because I can get freebies from the government,
All this talk of Benefits, entitlement, bollocks, its handouts and freebies.

Have you actually read the eight points written by Uncle C in a previous post?
It doesn't for one minute sound like this particular couple are a bunch of freeloaders at all.
This country has the highest amount of handouts of anywhere I have ever lived. It also has the highest amount of work shy people I've ever seen too...far to easy to remain on social than go back to work...so their kids become lazy arrorgant work shy illiterates as well, and society goes down the toilet.
HOWEVER - that isn't the case here, although I'd suggest that the lady in question doesn't go to the government for money, they would sell the house, divide things up and move on. Why should the rest of us pay for their sad splitting up?

Fair play, guess I was a bit OTT , it was not directly pointed at the young lady in question for which I apologise , I now realise I used it vent my anger at the whole system that we all know is wrong.

Not read all the other replies but working in Housing and Council Tax Benefit I feel I am reasonably placed to answer this.
The first thing she needs to do is call the Department of Work and Pensions and tell them what has happened. They will arrange for her Income Support claim to be sorted. I know that they have a big backlog at the moment so the sooner she does this the better.
The next step is to call HMRC who deal with Tax Credits. If she is already getting them then it will be easy to advise them of a change in circumstances and get her payments increased to the correct level for a single mother of 3 who is not working. If she is not currently getting Tax Credits then she will need to claim from scratch which will take a little longer.
She also needs to call her lender ASAP and explain to them what is going on. I cannot stress the importance of this step. If she leaves it then things will get worse. After 6 months she can start to get help with the interests on her mortgage but it will depend on the whole situation including what her estranged partner is doing.
Also get her to call he local Council and ask for a claim form for Council Tax Benefit. She has a month in which to claim from the date her husband left to be able to get benefit from the date (or following Monday) that he left. If she has no other income other then other benefits then she will get this paid in full.
Lastly tell her not hide from any money that she owes. She is better off calling people and explaining the situation then defaulting on any payments.
Hope it all works out for her and send me a PM if you have any more questions.

She should count herself lucky that her husband didn't do the same as you did to your last wife, and return her to http://www.thailadyboywives.com

In view of that, it's quite ironic that BNP had a policy only a few years ago to pay all mothers to stay at home.
So I'd imagine their fan club on here would be extremely supportive of any help she can get.
Im glad some of the horrible miserable bastards that have posted on this topic dont run our country, at some point in a lot of our lives we face extreme hardship out of our own control and we need to go cap in hand to the powers that be.
From what ive read it seems a sad story and i wish your friend the best of luck uncle c.
