Not much use really unless there just happens to be a street fair on that acts as a post office and allows me to top up my gas and leccy.
Having said that people that abuse the help available should be shot,in my opinion. 
As I said at my tribunal I can walk 50 yards on the moon If someone takes me there.  |
The problem with these medical assesments are that people with real disabilities or chronic sickness can be deemed to be able to do "some sort of work".. but of course even the worst afflicted can do "some sort of work".. Stephen Hawkins works but he would not be much use as a hod carrier!...all this re-assessment from this Government has nothing to do with helping people back to work, nothing to do with "weeding out" the cheats.. it's about cutting benefits for some genuine sick people by transfering them onto the dole.
