My question would be: if someone was in this bad a situation, why do you have a computer and pay for monthly internet access?

I know for a fact that social services will not stop your benefits just because someone wires you money to help in a certain circumstance. That is not considered income. It irritates me when people knock social services; I know the system isn't perfect everywhere but for the most part it's made up of people who really do care about others and who have gone through 4-6 years of schooling to get a degree in a field where the pay isn't great but the emotional and physical demands are.
