A WOMAN has revealed that she lives in a council house even though she and her husband both work full-time. Beth Owen, a mother of four, explained that her family-of-six were recently made homeless , and were then moved into a council property. Now, Beth is on maternity leave and the couple also receive Universal Credit - and she claimed that she’s ‘not embarrassed’ to admit that.
Posting on social media , Beth was keen to clap back at haters who criticised her lifestyle . In response to a comment from a troll that read “Do benefits people have to pay for anything in full?”, Beth shared a video showing off her council house. Keen to silence the keyboard warriors, Beth posted her clip with the caption ‘It's really worth thinking about what you comment.
Not everyone is in the same situation. My partner and I both work full time and we still receive some UC, we don't get help with everything.’ Beth then explained that after one of her videos going viral on TikTok , she was met with a barrage of comments from social media users - not all of which were kind.
She said: “Just over a week ago I posted a video about me and my family finally moving into our council house after being homeless for 12 months. “When I posted it, never did I expect it to go viral. I gained over 10,000 followers in just about four days.
“It's currently standing on nearly 700,000 views. “I totally understand when you post something public and on social media that you are gonna get a mix .
