‘Men refuse to date me because I’m on benefits – they call me a parasite’

But this doesn’t stop blokes on websites like Plenty of Fish or eharmony from judging her.

Lynn said: "I get Universal Credit, disability allowance, and ESA [employment allowance] – I get the full whack because of my disability. But it's not much.

"One guy told me I was a parasite. He said, 'You can walk and talk, why can't you work?'.
