Although many receipients (I will admit not all) of disability living allowance have worked for maybe 20 - 30 years making national insurance contributions, all they are doing is claiming on this insurance.0

Yes, but it would also be different.It would still be your money, so yes....
Regarding vandalism, I had the driver's door glass keyed on my car a few weeks ago. I can't work out any reason for it happening. Maybe they wanted to steal the car but then saw the disk lock.Happy chappy0 -

God, what planet are you from?
The money is given/claimed as a right.
What should it be spent on in your opinion?I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

I'm from planet "I pay tax".

If it's run as a self financing scheme at no subsidy whatsoever, why can't anyone join it? There must be some benefit or subsidy attached or it would be open to all.
If you work it out it is done at just over cost, ie, you can save money by going it alone, but it's the easy option for folks that don't like the complexity of sorting a deal themselves;)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

I'm well aware that I could be struck down with some illness tomorrow and become a motability customer. Mine is a simple point - money someone gives you as a benefit is not the same as money earnt from working. In terms of personal effort required.Happy chappy0
