and claims he has a bad back due to work, is agrophobic and needs to hold his mothers hand if he goes into town (SHE claims for that as a carer!!!!) yet he goes on holiday alone each year The mother cannot get around too much, she claims mobility allowance......but managed a sponsored walk earlier in the year and regularly walks a mile into town (even though she has a free bus pass)
Another woman that claims mobility allowance.......but could outrun me! If the council would pay me £50,000 per year, I would guarantee them making a huge profit out of me without making the truly disabled/genuine claimants suffer.

People like this really get to me, Ian is on DLA and he really is entilted to it, yet you see these scroungers getting benefits that they are not entitled to. They are getting genuine claimants a bad name and as to. how they manage it is beyond me. Ian not only gave the names of both his surgeons on the form, he also had to go to our GP for an assessment because they hadn't seen him.The only reason he had not been to the GP was that he was being seen at the hospital all the time so why waste their time as well? It is about time the scroungers were rooted out and made to pay back any money that they were not entitled to and made to go to work!!
