to envy/hate people on benefits to be as well off if not better than us

[chocaddict]

I know that this post may have some mixed reviews and may even get me slated but I can,t help it.
Someone I know although she is a genuine case her and her husband have as much as me and dh coming in and with a brand new car thrown in for good measure.
I can only dream of a new car and I work my tripe off 5 days a week as well as dh whilst some people can sit at home and get the same income coming in it seems really unfair.

thicker than custard

or mince

Mercy why havent you reported her then? Why do you sit back and let her defraud the state? Why does that make you better than her?

Why moan and bitch about it but do nothing about it? That is shocking.

Shame on you.

Exactly. MNP. I would really like the poster to come back and explain why they are so annoyed by a person with depression playing football.

Unless I've missed the obvious explanation that they are in fact a professional football player in the premier league earning a fortune and claiming more than £25,000 in state benefits.

Are clothes luxuries then cos you could live without them? Are shoes a luxury? If you going to go on anything you can live without. You can live without children, you can live without a home. Honestly thats a stupid way of defining luxuries! Sometimes all a disabled person has in their life is the home care that comes in (if that ) and a pet. Does that also mean my mum who is on pension credit which is a benefit shouldnt have a life??

She hasn't reported her because there is nothing to report MrsDV. It's all bollocks.

Disabilism is not treated as seriously as racism and sexism.
If it was, the Daily Mail and their ilk would not get away with printing half the shit that they do. Its a struggle even getting a disability hate crime RECOGNISED as a disability hate crime. These crime figures are on the increase because what is printed in the papers and the subliminal messages given out by them and the heartless contributors on this thread make some think its ok to abuse and attack disabled people.

I want to meet these people who get DLA without being disbled.

Considering that to get it for my DS I had to fill in a 40 page form and send off written reports from his paed, the specialist, my GP, his speech therapist and the school.

'I just don't think someone who doesn't work should have more income than someone who doesnt.'

But many disabled people cant get jobs despite wanting too because many employers have the same bigoted attitudes. If you CANT work, why shouldnt you have a few things those who have the choice and ability to work get?

You must have seen the shock TV programs that show people caught out window cleaning, when they are supposed to be wheelchair bound. It does happen, but if you read the tabloids and watch ITV you think it's every other claimant.

Cory, no I don't. I really don't. I want disabled people to be able to say to someone with common sense and access to government money 'I need a holiday, it will help my condition because of x y and z and id perfer to go to x reasonable place' and then be given the money to go and do it.

HumanCatapult. Yes, I have, many times. I know exactly what it's like trying to book accessible accommodation, I know exactly what it's like to book a room that is supposed to be accessible but the shower has a lip on the floor, or the chairs provided are shite, or the lift is like a death trap, or the airline wants to charge an extra £300 because you need to bring a hoist and a shower/toiletimg chair etc etc etc. I could probably give you some recommendations if you like.

PP you are nice, I see her as a nasty greedy cow

Ah yes those forms, LOVE doing them. Ds is due for renewal in 2013, he has been diagnosed with three further conditions since we were awarded before but I am too frightened to get it reassessed in the current climate and already dreading next years renewal. Yes it's easy money alright.

seeing your next post I take that back, you are bashing as well

I'd like to know how they manage it too, Barf, so I can let my parents know. My dad was turned down for DLA because he can get onto a bed . He has angina, severe depression, sleep aponea and blackouts - the doctors as yet cannot workout what is causing them. But he can get onto a bed, so he can work. My mum works, they don't want the DLA they just want to be entitled to it so they can get free prescriptions because the cost of my dads medication is crippling them. They simply cannot afford it.

I am going to screen grab that comment, Sevenfold. It's a first!!

IUseTooMuchKitchenRoll oh you want them to beg.....
ffs

Hobs I may just do that though don't know since on DLA if I'm meant to be having holidays

Iuse

If I can have proper trampled a decent wheelchair heating money for food ANC clothes I ness proper equipment , decent help access to Ot and Ohysios

You can have my DlA back because it will cost a dam site more than I get now

Halfway decent wheelchair that be £3500 please and that's s basic one as I don't need a lot

Then there's the cushion for it another £800 please

There's a years and more DlA gone already . Opps trousers that don't cause sores hmm 6 pairs a year that's another £300 gone .

Posie is not bashing. She is bashing the tabloids and TV shows which show an incorrect picture

Is kitchen roll a luxury?

I think we should be told.

In my job I have seen and reported a lot of people abusing the dla system.

I must state that in the area i work the clients are a very small part of the system. this is not a true relfection of most ppl on dla.

However, if you think the system is being abused that is all you can do. The Tory cuts have helped this abuse.

I personally think that a few abusing the system is a small price to pay to ensure the most vulnerable get the support they need.

your right Fanjo sorry PP, just so wound up by the pure shit on this thread

Ok, I can see I'm not explaining myself well, basically, if I were boss of the world, a disabled person would be able to say they need a holiday because it will help with x, I need a pet because it will help with y, I need an iPhone because it's easier for me to text than with it is with my old phone with buttons, and they would be given it. Simple. But I wouldn't just throw money more money at them than you can earn in a full time minimum wage job. They would get the same amount, and any more would come as a result of them needing it because of their disability.

My favourite benefit bashers are the ones in their early twenties.

You know, the ones I have been subsidising all their lives.

Hilfuckinglarious it is when they start to tell me how lazy/entitled whatever me and OH are for claiming any disability related benefits or top ups.

The irony fuckwittery never ceases to amuse me.
