I have no problem with genuine claiments getting what they are entitled to. I do have issues with a system that makes it uneconomical to work. I don't blame the people who can sit there earning more from benefits as they could ever do from working, that is using your head and looking after your family. What needs sorting is why this is the cause. To me benefits should be there to provide a support network to ensure people are provided a basic level of living when they are unable to do so themselves. I often wonder why having dodgy knees can be a cause for disablility allowance, Can't they sit at a desk/till/etc like a lot of working people do? I work with a lad who is severely affect by thalidomide such that he types with his toes. To look at him earning his living with what he has to put up with should shame a heck of a lot of people who sit there and collect the coin. Unfortuantleyas I said earlier, the system is flawed such that they are doing teh right thing for themselves.
