My Goodness, how very riled and angry people are over one point of view - and how much time do people have on their hands!?
Angry us? Really? Can't imagine why? We've only been told on this thread that our families and/or us deserve no help whatsoever, and that somehow we've bought illness upon ourselves.. can't even begin to imagine why we are offended 
Dear god.
And can I just add to the person who said about 'walking in other people's shoes'. You really shouldn't say that unless you know someone's situation first
You, of course, never do anything of the sort. "and if you are genuinely in need then there is no reason to be defensive." So, those of us who are upset are not genuinely claiming? Like I said, walk in our shoes.
Have you come across people judging your situation and thinking you claim illegally?
There are people on this very thread insinuating that those of us posting are claiming as a lifestyle choice not a necessity. So yes.
shame you're not one of them. I have stupidly been sucked into a thread populated by the benefit brigade who cannot STAND anyone who dare so much as have an opinion on the topic
How about we can't stand people coming along and telling us we are unworthy of a whole £10 which come nowhere near helping most of us out? Have a different opinion, no skin off our noses, just expect that if you cannot back it up with logic and reasoning that is going to get shat on. And going all passive aggressive with your "don't you have too much time on your hands" comments doesn't count
HTH
