And aren't there a lot of people using depression as an excuse. I know someone who gets DLA because of Anorexia, another gets it for mild Angina (although she hasn't had an attack in years). Her neighbour who was severely burnt in a house fire has no hand use (they are fixed into a permanent fist), is often deprived of his benefits because they say he can work. Why do the government never challenge what I would class as minor ailments?
