It is fantastic to see that they actually investigate and prosecute these scroungers. I am sick and tired of seeing so many people get IB, DLA, Income Support when there is nothing wrong but laziness that keeps them from working.
One of my neighbours gets IB, the whole deal including a car and told me that if I wanted to I should just go to the doctor and tell him I get depressed. For everything she wants, if she doesn't get it that is what she does. Strange thing is she has what that dvd-seller has osteo-arthritis yet it doesn't stop her lugging hulking great computers and other stuff around! She also bragged to me lately that because her ds is disabled she got some family fund which paid for a holiday for her and dh and new appliances.
We are going on holiday this year and need a new fridge freezer but we save for these things and pay for them ourselves.
It just kills me that these people get so much money, it seems an endless amount. And she sells dodgy dvds to her friends too (not me, she knows how I feel after I asked her why her dh didn't work, not when he gets over £100 carers allowance a week for her and her ds!)
Oooh, that was a rant. Sorry it is just living here gets me down sometimes, I've always believed you should earn what you get. I also worked with both a blind man and a man in a wheelchair neither of whom would have appreciated being called disabled and neither of whom would have thought of sponging off the system!
