heard 2 stories today about back to work interviews one person had only one arm( ex army) the other one has had polio since they were a baby now who on earth decides they're fit to work coz obviously they're no  talk about a kick in the teeth, go to war for your country, get blown up, stop your benefits  yet some of them, we all know who they are can get away with never striking a bat all their lives and can swan aboot on benefits  |

must be sickening for these people and they always seem to be the ones who would work if a suitable job was available

It still seems so unfair that some get so much, new homes, new cars, etc while many of us work hard just to get by

Now thats just ridiculous ! he'll get his money reinstated after an appeal but that's no the point it should be done right in the first place, no good telling folk not to worry, of course he's going to worry, then they wonder how some folks driven to taking their own lives, they should never have put this in private hands, they get money for each person they can get off benefits, it's all wrong, mind doctors have a lot to answer for as well, an easy solution to get the patient off their backs is to hand out sick notes |

My daughter gets DLA cos shes got learning difficulties ,schizophrenia , mild tourettes , epileptic and can not be left on her own .Physically she is quite fit , apart from the odd cold . Im dreading her getting the forms ,so many questions that i will find difficult to answer !!!But for someone as disabled as that lad there shouldnt be any doubt at all !
