A MIGRANT mum thanked the UK yesterday for letting her claim £14,500 a year in benefits.
Natalija Belova, 33, told The Sun how she spurns full-time work — yet can afford foreign holidays and buys designer clothes.
The Lithuanian said: “British benefits give me and my daughter a good life.”
She has milked soft-touch Britain for £50,000 in benefits and yesterday said: "I simply take what is given to me."
Overjoyed Natalija told how she lives a life of luxury thanks to our “strange” system, declaring: “It’s important to have nice things and good holidays.”
The graduate, who became a single mum after she arrived here, rakes in more than £1,000 a month in handouts — £14,508 a year — to fund her love of designer clothes, jaunts to the Spanish sun and nightclubbing.
She bragged: “I have a lovely, fully-furnished flat and money to live properly on.
“There’s no chance we’re leaving. British benefits give me and my daughter a good life.”

But she does have one criticism. Natalija moaned: “I think they should help pay for private nannies, rather than just free nursery.”
Her handouts total £279 a week — with housing benefit contributing £183, child tax credit adding £56, child benefit £20 and her council tax being paid to the tune of £20.
She also rakes in £125-a-week from a job she has on the side — perfectly LEGALLY.
And despite the Coalition’s looming cap on benefits — which Labour will again vote against tomorrow — Natalija vowed: “I am not going to work like a dog on minimum wage.”
She added: “I don’t care what anyone thinks. I’m not doing anything wrong.
“I know people won’t like to read this, but what would they do?
“Would they not take the money that was being handed to them to stay with their child all day?”
Natalija told how she did work when she first came here — as a casino croupier — but said she found herself made redundant four years ago.
After falling pregnant with daughter Alexandra — now approaching three — it came as a shock how much she would be entitled to from the State for doing nothing.
Speaking at her two-bedroom pad that came fully furnished in Watford, Herts, courtesy of the taxpayer, grateful Natalija said:
“In Lithuania the benefits system does not pay enough.
"I have a friend over there who is a single mother.
"She only gets £20 a month in child benefit, plus some discounted help with gas and electricity — and some housing help.
"It’s not enough to keep a normal level of life, like here.
"If I was on benefits there, I couldn’t afford nice clothes or the holidays abroad.”
She went on: “I am sure people will say I should return to Lithuania. But that won’t be happening. Being in Britain offers me far better benefits.”
Amazingly she gets to supplement her £279-a-week handouts with a paying job.
The mum is employed by a marketing company to work from home.
She is careful to work fewer than 16 hours a week so that the benefits keep rolling in.
But her wages boost her income to more than £400 a week.
On top of that she gets free childcare, fruit and milk vouchers — and even a clothes allowance for “job interviews”.
Natalija said: “It is a strange system in this country. Basically, the fewer hours I work, the more I can earn on benefits. But that’s the way it is and it is not my fault.”
She fell pregnant by an “on-off boyfriend” after her redundancy. Natalija said casually: “We decided not to stay together.”
She insisted she would be prepared to get a full-time job — but only if the salary tops £25,000.
Natalija said: “I am a highly educated woman and I speak six languages. I would never apply for a supermarket checkout job or a cleaner.
"I am over-qualified. These jobs are beneath me. They are for people who don’t have the education I do.
"Some people may think I am picky. But I am a realist. I need a full-time job that pays at least £25,000 — that is just enough to cover all my living costs that benefits currently pay for.

"Otherwise working full time is not worth my while.
"If I worked full time, I’d have to pay for childcare costs as well as rent and all my bills.
"The benefits system in this country means that I do not have to do this.”
While hardworking taxpayers hit by the crunch are forced to forego foreign holidays, Natalija has had to make no such sacrifices to her lavish lifestyle. In September she escaped the dreary British summer by jetting off with her daughter for a sun-kissed week in Spain. Last month she enjoyed a second holiday — back in her Lithuanian homeland.
Natalija, who has three credit cards and loves to go on sprees at designer clothes stores, crowed: “After our holiday to Malaga, we went to Lithuania over Christmas and spent £1,000.”
She continued: “I love to buy clothes on my credit cards and often have a blow-out at stores like Roberto Cavalli and the Armani Exchange.
"I will pay off my credit cards eventually. I use my pay to cover the minimum repayment.
"I also enjoy going to nightclubs and parties with my friends. It’s important to go out and get dressed up. It’s good for my self-esteem.”
The blonde insisted: “Every mother deserves a treat.”

Her astonishing benefits bonanza emerged as Britain braces itself for thousands more swarming here to join a gravy train they could only dream of in their homelands.
Romanians and Bulgarians are currently barred from applying for a UK National Insurance number unless they have a job lined up before they arrive. But next year that is poised to end — thanks to the EU opening up the floodgates.
A staggering 29 million citizens of both countries will be entitled to flock here regardless.
Any already working here cash-in-hand will qualify for full entitlements too.
Natalija insisted she saw no shame in cashing in herself — because at least she did once hold down a job here.
The migrant said: “While I was working I paid my taxes and National Insurance, so I paid someone else’s benefits then. Now it’s my turn.”
