2008 : a threat to the very sick and disabled

[BabyGurl00818]

@ seyes67, i feel you on that. I'm ill myself. I have a therapist. She will help me prove to the pointless jobcentre staff how ill i am. Maybe you could do this also. It's not our fault we're ill. Sick of being misunderstood.

She taught Graduate Nursing Students from her couch until she was over 80. The bulk of her illness was productive.I expect she was well off. She lived in her college, loved and admired by her students. Had her situation been different? There but for fortune go you or I. She had to sleep a lot, It probably frustrated her to be able to teach only a few hours a day, listening to her students read notes and academic work. Innovative and brilliant, she did get by and was likely well off.

If the government keeps it up there going to bring on uprisings I have severe asthma and have to work and they still think they can take away assistance when you mess with the sick depressed people thats going overboard. whos managing the managers. we have no one to rat to.

Its not just ME. You are correct in what you say about the DLA guidelines. They are appalling and a very dear friend of mine was turned down despite being in pain all the time and unable to cook herself a meal. Left to this government she would starve to death. What happened to the caring side of Labour?

Well done again Greg, I look forward to more of your thought on this! Nigel

[deadgirldreaming]

Well said Greg! And Cameron is even worse - even the LibDems are at it - My MP is Lib Dem - I had the opportunity to challenge him on this before xmas - they are all saying the same thing - in the states it has led to people living off food handouts...

As for FN - would a 'malingerer' bother to transform the health system and invent modern statistics from her bed do you think?

Well done and thankyou for this.Isn't it astounding that there is no u.k. m.p. of any party speaking out against this policy?There must be many people who have no-one to cast a vote for!!~~Thanks again.

The pathway to work program sounds so sweet. :( I guess nobody really gets sick.
