we know we know gemma and chesney have 5 kids and are poor but can they claim benefits in help even with jobs

I do not believe that the subject of claiming benefits has ever been raised in a soap... Too sensitive a subject, I think, plus the rules could change any time so the wrong entitlement might be quoted... I cannot remember if it has been part of a storyline
