Agreed. Friends?

It's these very scroungers who make life hard for the genuine claimants like you. Just as a "for instance", there is a former mining community not far from where I live. About 60% of the men there were miners until the demise of the coal mining industry. Of them, approximately 75% are now claiming DLA, though they were all able-bodied enough to work in the pits. Their local golf club membership is full because all these "disabled" ex-miners are out on the course 7 days a week.

I also have a close friend who is disabled, she has arthritis in her spine and cannot walk without sticks, and she had to fight to be considered a genuine case. She eventually came off DLA when she got a job as a typist in my office. She dreads not being able to continue working because she will have to go through the same humiliating procedure as before if she can't support herself.

It's a mad, mad world.
