Re: Idiotic DWP

The last few posts show exactly what I mean. No real interest in the poor, no answers. just a desire to go into attack dog mode, gang up to stifle opposing views by throwing out crude insults.

Re: Idiotic DWP

Just one thought. Does this poor young man spend his life confined to his home or do his parents/carers have a specially adapted vehicle in which to take him out? I will presume they do, I will also presume the young man has a wheelchair of some kind. Therefore I can't see what the big fuss is about, surely his parents/carers could have taken him for the interview. Failing that I'm sure they could have telephoned and made the position clear.

Re: Idiotic DWP

Well, they're taking some people's mobility cars away,stopping attendance allowance etc so maybe not. Surely it's not beyond human intelligence to contact the GP or specialist and get confirmation of his disability, it's not as if he could fake it!
I imagine it would be quite a struggle getting him into a wheelchair or car anyway. I'm also sure his parents would have phoned. Seeing him on TV this morning made me cry.

Re: Idiotic DWP

This case is sad but some people milk the mobility think for all its worth.
Some people just know how to play the system .

Re: Idiotic DWP

Yes they do Muddy, those are the ones who make it bad for everyone else. I think that in some cases if you can afford to lose the mobility part of your benefit in order to get a car you must be quite well off.
I knew a woman whose mother could hardly walk, she got a motability car out of her mum's money, a big 4x4. The mother couldn't get up into it! I saw the poor woman walking home clutching walls! Only once did I see her take her mother out in it!
It all needs sorting properly not just taking it off everyone!
