Re: Is this Justice?
I have made my opinion clear before on matters of this nature, we need proper deterrents, not encouragement, it isnt too many years ago that one could say 'only in America' but every crime once only rife in places like USA are commonplace here, other country have very severe penalties for crime, and have a lesser crime rate, it is one of the reasons that people queue up to come here! We ARE heading for a society with many vigilantes in my opinion.

Re: Is this Justice?
i think teh govenment hides teh payments under the severe disability payments scheme
heres one quick story i found 100,000 drug addicts and alcoholics on benefits - Telegraph basicly you get incapacity because your on teh sick , then you get disability allowance which is about £250 every 4 weeks and then they get carers allowance as they cant cope with everyday life and various other things which i think is about a further £20 a week but i would have to look deeper into it not a bad income realy and on top of all thatthey get rent and council tax paid for and are probably entitled to a little income support as well like i said not %100 on this ive just had a quick look around and it maybe that they are hiding under severe disability and using that money for booze but im pretty sure one alcholic that liked to brag said the socialservices paid himcout so it may be a seperate payment alltogether |
Re: Is this Justice?
Never heard of these payments myself but will do a little digging!

I don't know of anyone getting "extra payments" for alcohol or drug abuse...I read Accymans post from the Telegraph but it don't mention extra payments.:confused:...if extra payments are given then it's a plain disgrace...and stupid

Re: Is this Justice?
from what i figure they scrapped the extra money for booze scheme and allowed them to claim D.L.A hence hiding them from exposure, they could have a job and still qualify for D.L.A as it isnt means tested
in effect you could work full time , go see your doctor, tell him your dependant on booze and get a consierable amount of money on top of your wage tax free , also if you can prove your boozing effects your ability to get around you may also qualify for mobility allowance which hopefully dosnt mean you will be given a car but the money instead which is around £200 every 4 weeks considering how low your weekly level of intake of alcohol need to be to be considered to be having a drink problem im surprised everyone isnt getting it:rolleyes: quite a good life been an alcholic isnt it , you bring misery to those around you and get paid shed loads to keep doing it |

And it isn't playground gossip that drug addicts and alcoholics get benefits to pay for their habit. |

I don't know how much is paid but if you are certified as an alcoholic by a doctor then you are entitled to money. Very unfair, in my opinion. |
