It is truly shocking that there are now so many people like you who see "disabled rights" as being about nothing other than benefit entitlements.
You do all disabled people a disservice by taking this attitude.
You've just contradicted yourself. Are the disabled meant to adapt to this new prejudice against them or is society meant to adapt to the needs of the disabled???????????????????
People like yourself that spend time on this forum "helping" and guiding those in need do yourself a disservice by the shere inconsistancy that you show towards certain posters. We can't all wait and hope you got out of the right side of the bed any given morning, not when most of us don't get any sleep anyway!
You can judge a society / country by the way it treats its most vulnerable. I'd know where I stood, for example, after the floods in Mississipppiiiiiiii and how much my country cared for me!!
Ask yourself, years later, where do thing those people are now?? Back in thier cosy rebuilt homes and communities??0 -

I Never asked for any rights to benefits. Just a little help, when I needed it, without having to wait nearon 2 and half years for it. I'm sure the disabled and / or Incapacited would agree with ME!0 -
