Hayley, 20, started boozing aged 12 and sinks 12 cans of lager and a litre of vodka a day.
She's been warned she'll die if she does not stop.
Hayley gets £316 a month income support. On top of that, she's paid £350 disability allowance. The annual total is £7,992.
She gives mum Wanda, 56, a bit as keep, but the rest goes on booze.
