And, I am hoarding my pills too.. because without DLA or ESA, I will not be able to afford the bills or proper care of my daughter. I'll be dead, and she will be in another country, if they take my means away from me. If I could work I would, but with what I have gone through in my life, the chances of me having a decent, rewarding job are nil. I'd be lucky to scrape a living cleaning toilets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-33506199674876150382010-10-26T11:09:54.108+01:002010-10-26T11:09:54.108+01:00This government do not care what happens to the re...This government do not care what happens to the rest (answering to Roberts comment above) This government do not care about disabled people - They should reduce the DLA payment, yes it is a lifeline and to reduce it will cause hardship - But to remove ALL help DLA/benefits/housing help will just make a hell of alot of disabled people homeless and it will not help the government if they have people on the streets. To enable growth they need to enable people more - not disable people more! reduce DLA benefit by 25% and have no medicals - bar the normal medicals you go through anyway, this was you will not be giving atos more payments for yet more medicals that they are already not adept to do on many neurological conditions. If you care for your sick and disabled it shows you are a humanistic country The UK will turn into a backwards uncaring country. Get the money back off the banks, get the people who hide from paying their taxes. Get that 6billion back from Vodaphone, the govt wouldnt let me off paying MY tax so why should a multi billion pound company get let off so easy? Start caring for your disabled and in that you will help them to help themselves by making them feel HUMAN instead of making them feel like sh*t on your shoes and unwanted. Cameron should look at his own life and see the help that his child gets for disability. Disabled people are not scroungers, though yes maybe a small percentage are but they are usually weeded out in the normal 3yr medical as it is! If you attack the people who are most at need it just shows that you have no heart and no soul. There is FAR more fraud in normal Jobseekers payments than in disability, people who claim and work - we all know of them. Stop giving money to people who just arrive on the boat and immediately sign on. Start caring for the people of this country FIRST. we all help when other countries have disasters. I bet no other country will help when the disaster happens here! No money will be donated for the poor or the homeless of the UK. Get OUT of the EU and be our own country again and stop letting other countries call the shots. This USED to be GREAT Britain - Now we are only the UK and soono this country will have more and more people on jobseekers as we will (this govt will I hasten to add) have ruined the economy and we will have thrown our disabled into the trash, we will have shown we do not care for out OWN people, and we care more for other countries than we do our own. There are many disabilities out there than lethargy is part of it and you do not see these people outside of their houses and yet atos can say they are fit to work when they cannot even get thoruhg a normal day at home? Get a grip Cameron and get a heart! I assumed this government would be a move forward but now I can see that we will be regressing in human care by 100 years, and that is not a good thing. well done Cameron in a matter of Months you have managed to UNDO a century of forward movement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-45073890065774729532010-10-26T10:40:57.127+01:002010-10-26T10:40:57.127+01:00Why do cuts have to be made, growth is now standin...Why do cuts have to be made, growth is now standing at the highest in eight years this down turn recession now turns out to be the same as all the rest, the banking crises is a different area, and Banking should be repaying this debt not some poor sod with no legs.<br /><br />We have just been told the Military will need to go through these medical now.<br /><br />fact is and it's a fact a lot of people forget, we do have many severely disabled people in this country ten million in fact many born with a serious disability or learning disability, you can only have so many people picking up litter, you can only have so many moving trolleys at Asda, what do you do with the rest.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186557603493331701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-69403392721262265822010-10-25T20:39:38.375+01:002010-10-25T20:39:38.375+01:00DLA can be a lifeline to many people.

I was training to teach fitness and then something happened and I ended up with a neurological condition that there is no cure for. I DID NOT WANT TO BECOME A SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF.<br /><br />Nobody can know what it is like being INSIDE disability - Unless they walk in our shoes. Nobody can tell us we are scum just because life has thown us a crap hand that we are forced to play!<br /><br />It is totally unfair that this Govt are attacking the disabled and letting companies who owe them 6bn in tax off! That is totally out of order - The scum in my eyes is the Govt who lets off a company who own millions and then attacks their disabled citizens!<br /><br />I am hoarding my drugs. And I will leave a note for my familt to pass on to this Govt (not that they will read it or care) - This is the most UNCARING Govt I have ever known of! They don't even know what the word CARE means!<br /><br />I am very very scared My DLA is all I have to help make my life more normal - I ned it as I cannot let myself get cold now as it causes alot of pain! now - God knows what I will do, I wont be able to pay my rent or bills or anything - Because I am scum ARENT I MR CAMERON!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-59167477102320652632010-10-24T14:41:38.334+01:002010-10-24T14:41:38.334+01:00great video, well donegreat video, well doneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-28782396503251096682010-10-24T13:48:51.400+01:002010-10-24T13:48:51.400+01:00Thanks so much!Thanks so much!incurable hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13064136978198714689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-36967665744743305312010-10-24T13:48:03.453+01:002010-10-24T13:48:03.453+01:00Well done you - I like courage, you have shedloads...Well done you - I like courage, you have shedloads of it...Mr Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617360407755512199noreply@blogger.com
