Re: Benefit reforms.

Unfortunately Mad, this is obviously not the case. I know of someone who fell 6 ft from a ladder aged 17. He is now 40 and hasn't worked a day since. He claims incapacity benefit, has his council house paid for along with his council tax. He claims his knee is badly damaged so he can't work and gets the old sticks out whenever he has to go for an interview. Yet I've seen him running the 3/4 mile from his house to teh pub when he thought he was going top miss last orders. It really annoys me that good hardworking people pay taxes to keep people like him in a life he has become acustomed to.

Genuinley deserving cases I have no problems with and I know that teh above are a minority, hopefully this piece of work will catch these
