Having met you, I don't think there is a soul alive who would tell you to get off your lazy backside and earn your crust. You're a genuine case and there are plenty of them in England. I have a bloke from Rishton working on my house at the moment who is skilled and doing a fine job but going out of his mind sat at home every day with no regular income.
Those are the people I feel truly sorry for and who the system should be there to support. Anyone who refuses three suitable job offers should be denied benefits and the system should be reformed so that sitting at home can no longer be classed as carrying on the family business.
The marvellous Disability Living Allowance has allowed thousands of able-bodied people to swing the lead whilst tarring the genuinely disabled with a bad name.
