ah, that's better than what we get in my province in Canada.
if you're on regular welfare (not Disability) they will make you hand in monthly job reports, where they expect you to have applied for 3 jobs per day 5 days a week. and you might be forced to attend a mandatory "job club" or some other humiliating waste of time.
wonder what % of your welfare goes to the landlord over there. I'm extremely lucky to live in a place where it's only a little over 50% of my income that goes to rent... If I ever got kicked out and had to find a new place, I literally would not be able to rent my own place (nevermind buy food) with the lousy ass rates
Yeah, I'm on reduced work capacity, so I don't have to do the job search thing as much. I think it's 20 jobs per month updated fortnightly, but the system changes a lot (it's changing again next month). I'm at about 50% in a 3-way share apartment. That's about as good as it gets. A few years ago they did a review of rental listings that cost the recommended maximum 30%, and only 7 properties in the entire country would be that for welfare recipients. If I try to live by myself, I'd be pretty lucky to only be spending 70% though.
