Who'd employ that person ?These people trying to beat the system need stopping but it's stopped too many genuine people.
Exactly .... people, like me, can be annoyed about fraudulent claimants and so might sound harsh when we condemn them but it's because we do recognise that 1) there's not enough money in the pot to go around ... so 2) it should be allocated to the genuine without making them feel a second rate citizen or charity case...
As long as scroungers are not successfully weeded out it unfortunately makes them feel censored and thrust into the firing line.

I also know a few soldiers that suffer pain from amputations but it doesn't stop them working.
Maybe they have more self-respect than most?
I watched my husband get back on his feet and back to work after his knee replacement the physios said they were quite amazed at him as none of the others from his ward were likely to return to work as they were struggling to walk. Were they less as people or were they just less able to cope with the pain ?

Re: Effect of Government's disability hate campaigns
What always puzzles me is when l'm in a town centre or a supermarket and l see people walking perfectly but carrying a walking stick or gutter crutch as if, they are an accessory!Surely, they are to use to keep them steady and upright, not be carried like a handbag!
Or are they registered as disabled and worried that they could be being watched?

I use one often I'll pick it up and walk if I'm not walking far. Sometimes I worry I'll become dependant and walking unaided makes me stronger. I can't speak for them all of course. But NHS doesn't provide many most of us buy them ourselves so many may be self diagnosed rather than medically needed.21-04-2017, 02:34 PM

Re: Effect of Government's disability hate campaigns
A bit off-topic but I saw the sweetest thing a few weeks back.You know these shopping trolley type things you see people pushing infront of them ..
This chap had his elderly looking old dog sitting in it instead of shopping .. even though the elderly chap looked like he needed wheeling about himself.

And I've seen it on many occasions as well.
There are deffo people out there that swing it, and they need to be weeded out.
As said previously,
Most have no issues with anyone who has a genuine disability that prevents them working. It's those that exaggerate / pretend that gets some peoples backs up - getting a bit tired of repeating that quite frankly!
