When I was transported across to ESA I had to go for a medical. I was examined by a registered physiotherapist. No other report was needed to say that I would be ready for work within three months. A Physiotherapist, no matter how well they practice their profession, is not capable of rightfully assessing anyone with a mental illness. This is corruption of the purest form.<br /><br />After receiving the assessment notes (which were used to make a dla decision) I was insulted and belittled by what criteria i was examined. I was 'well kempt' and 'sober' therefore I was deemed able to work.<br /><br />The whole EsA system and the welfare reform acts are ridiculous and damaging to the nation. <br />I like to hear that in parliament, our prime minister assures us that the defense budget will not be harshly cut as welfare. What happened to 'we're all in it together? And in the words of tony benn; if this nation can find the money to kill people 1000s of miles away, we can find the money to help our own citizens.Garyhttp://flashingmonsignor.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-91555041998636219572012-01-10T22:03:16.843+00:002012-01-10T22:03:16.843+00:003 years ago I suffered a brain hemorrhage.

I had missed 3 weeks worth of NI payments.<br />I was 17 and had gone on holiday with my parents!!!<br />Even if I had cleared the 'debt' I still wouldn't have been entitled to full incapacity benefit, and the money used to clear the NI debt would have gone straight to my pension fund.<br /><br />My heart goes out to people from a similar financial background as me who have gained a disability and haven't been able to recover.<br /><br />Now look at this! <br />The government are the greatest burden on this nation because they deliberately hinder the recovery and/or personal development of those from a weaker financal background.<br /><br />That is tantamount to a social hate crime and those responsible should be treated accordingly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-79233241422822491522012-01-10T22:01:58.538+00:002012-01-10T22:01:58.538+00:00This a repeat of what the Nasty Party of the 80...This a repeat of what the Nasty Party of the 80's did. They have not changed at all in spite of their lies to the contrary. We must do everything we can to stop them and remove them from power forever.<br /><br />They said none of this before they obtained power and don't forget which party made it possible the LibDems so much for liberal values.Nessie1943https://www.blogger.com/profile/03178853923854078521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-4807690608362749552012-01-10T21:40:33.898+00:002012-01-10T21:40:33.898+00:00I'm already suffering from depression; this is...I'm already suffering from depression; this is hardly doing my health any good NOW. If they push this through, frankly, I had may as well give up, as I won't be able to afford to live, or stay in my home, because with 3 bedrooms, and two occupants, myself, a single father, and my son, we will also be under-occupied, a fact which will be compounded when my son moves out in a few years.<br /><br />So, I'll have NOTHING. Nothing left, because OTHER people, banks, politicians etc got greedy and blew OUR safety net. Thanks Cameron, before too long you'll have my death on your bloody conscience, not that I expect you to lose one SECOND of sleep over it. Much appreciated.Daznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-10463331263754708782011-12-10T01:08:40.301+00:002011-12-10T01:08:40.301+00:00Its because the mainstream media are used to convi...Its because the mainstream media are used to convince everyone that all sick and disabled people are cheats and scroungers and nobody cares until the govt does someting that affects them directly.They know this and this is how any govt gets away wwith the things it does.People need to wake up and see what is really happening in this country before its all too late.Everything is for sale either and most of it is done without our knowledge by stealth.Read Privaate Eye and such similar publications...read the benefits blogs and see the real truth....and then do someting to help stop these people....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-16177388280860831402011-12-09T17:55:00.425+00:002011-12-09T17:55:00.425+00:00Shared!

As my son returns home to me - leaving his friends and girlfriend 300 miles away I cannot understand why the country just sits back and allows us to treat the sick, disabled, young and unemployed in such a manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
