Benefits Special: 18 Kids and Claiming

Women who claim benefits while looking after several children. They include Chesterfield mum Maria, who has five kids to five different dads and has not worked since 2002. She is so desperate to get off benefits she has signed herself up to the same college course as her daughter. Birmingham woman Karen has six children and a seventh on the way with partner Ashleigh - and although his job search is not going well he keeps himself busy in other ways. In Weymouth, Kate picks up almost £30,000 a year in benefits to supplement her husband Ian's income as a taxi driver - and spends more than £170 a month of this on pocket money for her seven kids.
