    I have to agree with you and I have to say its shocking at the way they have been treated by some members on this board.

    The way Disabled people get treated in everyday life is shocking as well but on here as well is even more shocking.

    I think rich_shot2003 is quite shocked! :p

    What 2 litre and rich_shot2003 have neglected to realise is that most of the posters on the Benefits board are disabled, so saying that the govt have turned us against ourselves is nonsensical!

    My advice to the OP is to ensure that he ensures the relevant DWP departments are aware of what he is doing beforehand. They can then decide if they should still be in receipt of the relevant benefits.
    Gone ... or have I?

    I have no doubt that regular posters on the Benefits board have nothing but compassion for those that are genuinely unfit for work.

    You may note that you have taken this thread even further off topic. Is there any advice that you would like to offer the OP?

    How do you know the thread is way off topic, and the OP has been treated unfairly, if you haven't seen the original post/question? :think:

    Nothing makes me think the original post wasnt a legitamate query.
    It seems the majority of posters in this thread do however.

    My point was if it was a 100% genuine post what their replies would be.
    What help and advice would they have given?
