It is frustrating and the amount is correct I kid you not

The politics of envy is no basis to judge others, nor is a reason to base legislation on either!!!

Doctors struggle to find the cause of back pain, but they can't say you are not in pain! I believe that, as actors, many who claim disability could get an Oscar!
It is just the same as people claiming mental illness, to justify the crime they have committed, to get a lighter sentence!
Meanwhile afaile4d government used a Billion of taxpayers money to prop itself up to buy votes from the DUP, mky idea of criminals.

Re: Disabled disadvantaged
Well Susan this couple seem to be unique ,I also personally know disbled people and they do not get anythinh like this couple doif this money is between them it is not a lot each, there is usually some rent to pay ,its seldom 'freeThe problem with disability is you can never rely on how well/bad you may feel from hour to hour,as the condition may worsen at any time and leaves you exhausted. Recently my son's friend was told he should look for work, yet he is partially sighted, he has a condition where he cant wake up [sleep apnea I think thats the spelling ] and has to have someone to wake him .plus several other healtth conditions, What employer is going to employ him.This government seems to feel that every body can work and shouldnt have help'. Its attitude like yours Susan that potrays all disabled people in a bad light25-08-2017, 09:52 PM

The lad is capable of working , yet because he was born with a slight disability and diagnosed with it he will receive his allowance for life . His mother even says he gets to much money and should work . The partner has a bad back and does walk slowly yet between them they get about £1800 a month . Their rent is free and council tax , she has a 3 year old child and 2 more in care . I know this is true , the lads mother says it's wrong , there is too much money going into their hands yet each year when assessed they get it again . I'm all for people to receive their money , certainly those who are incapable of working yet these two twenty something kids are having a free ride . It makes us angry and as I said his mother says it's just not right . How is it some get this much and others are getting too much ?

Re: Disabled disadvantaged
DeylonIf you read post 6 you will see that I'm questioning why this young couple get this amount when others don't , I'm actually saying it doesn't feel right . You will note that his mother who is a close friend also says it's too much and too easy for them . His mum also says he could work but as he gets his allowance he doesn't want too. We have a close friend who is 62 and recently had her pip reduced by quite a large amount , she is struggling and appealing , she suffers pain yet was told she could do a job of work . The poor girl can hardly get out of bed some days .
We are a group of friends , so on one hand we have the young lad and partner and our lovely friend of 62 loosing her pip and told she could work and yet the youngster who's own mum says he could work even a couple of days a week doesn't need too .
