do you think it is possible that they perform voluntary work on a daily bases? I know this person who gets a disability cheque, and other government assistance cheques, but does voluntary work – which is nice, but if she can do that I would think she could get a real job where she gets paid, too. It my brother’s ex wife. ps. she always asks him for money for everything for the kids, claiming she is poor (- not!!!) because she is on disability. my brother also has a disadvantage at the courts about certain things that are unfair to him, because the mother of his children is on disability.
