When Rainbow Dash's laziness causes her to lose her job with the Ponyville Weather Team, she is forced to find an alternative means of income.

So when she hears about uneployment benefit (Jobseeker's Allowance, AKA 'the dole') she is quick to apply, as she believes that she will be able to be lazy and yet still earn the money she needs to maintain her chosen lifestyle.

She soon discovers that this is not the case…

AUTHOR'S NOTES

To my American readers: I believe you would refer to Jobseeker's Allowance (AKA 'the dole') as 'welfare'. Feel free to correct me if I am in fact wrong.

This story is based on the experiences of other people, as well as my own. Whenever a chapter uses the experiences of others, they will be credited via a link to where I found their story.
