Yes because your self worth will go up, plus you could always aim higher once you're back in the working environment. |

Sitting around on the dole is not good for your mental health or self esteem..... and it's easier to find work when you're already in it. |

working gives you self respect, keeps your brain active, and self satisfaction that you are earning a living and not sponging off the state. then once in work you could always find a better paid job at a later stage |

well you'll probably find you pay much more out working. sounds stupid eh but that's life .workers pay full rent full council tax and unless you can get credits or something you;'ll end off worse off . that's the way I see it and I work whilst others do nothing for the same money.stupid me. |

Yes, absolutely. Besides self-esteem and all the other reasons given, work offers the chance of promotion and even better pay - and up to date skills (and employer's reference) if another position appears. Benefits can't do that for you! |

yes because having a job gives you a purpose, like it or not working people look down on perfectly able bodied unemployed people. |

I have a better suggestion. Get a job that pays more than what you are getting on benefits and enjoy some of the luxuries of life. You will feel better about yourself. |

It's patently obvious that the benefit levels are too high. Lowering them would or should see a shift in the direction required, that is people would chase the jobs. Pensioners who have contributed all their working lives often receive much less to live on than those that have never done a days work in their lives. That can't be right. |

Yes. Earn your own money instead of using the Tax Payers money. |

It depends on whether you'll be hammered for tax !
If you're worse off working - I'd say stay put on benefits ! |

If you work you will have the potential to earn a lot more than your starting pay; your benefits certainly wont rise very much. |

Yes, definately. Once you are working you will probably be able to claim working tax credits anyway, but more importantly, the longer you are out of work, the harder it is to get work because employers either assume that you have no get up and go, or dont want you because you are 'out of the work habit'. |

yes at least you know your budget and know what is coming in every week or fortnight |

you would be worse of because you would have to pay the extra what benefits would be paying normally i would only recommend it if you were doing plenty of overtime. |
