Single Parents Receive £2000 per month on Benefits.
A recent report by the Revenue and customs shows that a single mother working 16 hours a week, after tax credits, gains a total income of £487 a week, while a two-parent family on the minimum wage has to work 116 hours for the same income. (In case your wondering, that's about £2000 a month)

Its preliminary ruling is for a total block on one drug, Macugen, and tight restrictions on a second, Lucentis.
Andrew Dillon, NICE chief executive, said: "When treatments are very expensive, we have to use them where they give most benefit to patients. Macugen costs about £10,000 a year, and Lucentis about £12,000.

'I love my new C cup breasts'
Unemployed Lucy Wingate feels she has a shape she is happy with following her recent breast enhancement operation. Last week the 26-year-old single mother of two had a breast enhancement, thanks to a new service - mybreast.org - which makes the UK's top plastic surgeons available at prices women like unemployed Lucy can afford. For the small fee of just £4250, the unemployed single mother is elated as before the operation she wouldn't even wear halter neck tops. "It will be wonderful to have so many options to wear now", she said.
I just want to fill a bra.
