Philip Chawner, 53, and his 57-year-old wife Audrey weigh 24st. Their daughter Emma, 19, weighs 17st, while her older sister Samantha, 21, weighs 18st.

The family from Blackburn claim £22,508 a year in benefits, equivalent to the take-home pay from a £30,000 salary.
The Chawners, haven't worked in 11 years, claim their weight is a hereditary condition and the money they receive is insufficient to live on.

Mr Chawner said: "What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It's not our fault we can't work. We deserve more."

The family claim to spend £50 a week on food and consume 3,000 calories each a day. The recommended maximum intake is 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men.

"We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner," Mrs Chawner told Closer magazine.

"All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight," she added.

Each week, Mr and Mrs Chawner, who have been married for 23 years, receive £177 in income support and incapacity benefit. Mrs Chawner is paid an extra £330-a-month disability allowance for epilepsy and asthma, both a result of being overweight.

Mr Chawner gets £71 a month after developing Type 2 diabetes because of his size. He was on a waiting list for a gastric band last year, but a heart condition made the operation unsuitable. Their daughter Samantha receives £84 in Jobseekers' Allowance each fortnight while Emma, who is training to be a hairdresser, gets £58 every two weeks under a hardship fund for low-income students.

Emma, said: "I'm a student and don't have time to exercise" she said "We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don't know how."

Stone. It's a unit of measurement.

"The stone (abbreviation st[1]) is a unit of measure equal to 14 pounds avoirdupois (about 6.35 kg[nb 1]) used in Great Britain and Ireland for measuring human body weight."

That's a bit harsh, even for me. Can't we just wish they learn to start exercising and eating properly, get jobs (I'm not buying the "too fat to work" part to be honest,) and get off welfare dependency?

kitty, that really is too extreme

Despite how lazy and foolish they are, I mean come on, really?

What the government should do is instead of sending them money, they give them healthy food in rations! So they don't overbuy and binge on food. Although that would be too damn hard to do.

Doesn't mean that you should want them to die.

If you're eugenic, then your belief is the betterment of the quality of humans. You can hope for them to get healthier on their own or with help. That's not a legitimate excuse for you wanting them to die.

Point taken, but do we really know if it's hereditary or not (Most likely they're saying that as an excuse for being fat and why their lazy selves can't stay healthy).

Thanks to this article, I now know the UK unit of weight measurement and that the UK is a welfare state. This is crazy.

I prefer to call Obamacare "ObamaCar" because it should drive the hell away.

Bad and all but what about all the immigrants in Britain that are able to work but refuse to and demand more welfare? (All the while they commit crime) Why doesn't the British media ever tell you about that?

You've got to be kidding me. In my home country, many people can't eat because they can't find a job and the government doesn't help them.

Instead of giving them money, give them healthy rations and make them learn how to eat less and make the food last.

This is why fat people shouldn't be allowed to raise kids and should be sent to camps where they will be forced to lose weight.

Also, cut their money = they get less food = they lose weight = they can work
