Incapacity Benefit

max4

I think the conservative government are taking away our liberties with their approach on benefits - especially incapacity benefit. I am currently ill and I have been on incapacity benefit - and I still need it. I just want to be left alone to get better and get a job that I 'really' want to do. David Cameron is trying to force people off sickness benefit and force them to do any old job - just so that he can get people off sickness benefit. What rubbish is that..? So, if you are a highly skilled professional, then it means you've got to work in a factory or clean toilets..? I am highly educated and skilled, but my time off work will make it hard to get the work I used to do - because people are just prejudiced and bigoted in the market that I am trained in. What is David Cameron gonna do about that..? Does he think that people will suddenly walk into the jobs they want..? No, that's why he wants to just get people of sickness benefits and force them to do any job, just any excuse to get you off the benefits that you REALLY need. I am not a benefit sponger or scrounger......I have 2 university degrees and certifications and some experience....before I got ill with chronic depression. I don't need the crappy help of government to get a job, because I know what job and career I want to follow. The government schemes at job centres are always pathetic for graduates like me. They waste your time and are only suitable for illiterate and under-achievers, degenerates, etc. I don't need help to write a CV. What I need is real help to get the job that I want and know. I want a government official to sit with me in an job interview to check that I am not asked any prejudiced questions and unfair questions regarding my illness and time off work. I want the government to get me back to work with a personalised approach and real help. People like me should be getting paid compensation for the years I spent at university to better my life and provide to society. I think the UK is slowly becoming communist with this new conservative-liberal government. Forcing people into 'any' work is what the communists did and that is happening now in the UK. What next...?

Having read your post, a shake up of the higher education system would seem to be an obvious requirement.

Is this for real? You want compensation for choosing to go to university and study for 2 degrees?

Many people go to work everday to do what they consider horrible and boring jobs to pay their bills, no doubt some having depression along the way. You expect them to pay taxes to keep you off work until you get a 'personalised approach'?

You make me laugh :rotfl:

For once Wee Willh I actually agree with you here!

What a bizarre post, I'm going to pull up a chair with some tea & biscuits and watch the replies to this one.

Hope the mods don't lock it too soon, it's going to be the thread of the year :rotfl:

I think the Conservatives and Labour towards the end were right. Most people on Incapacity can do some work or another. I have a spinal injury. Can't lift a fag packet yet I work doing what I'm capable of. Like you, I have several qualifications - three of them are no longer of any worth to me as I cannot physically do the work.

Why should someone who has a bad leg not work in admin for example?

Many people who are depressed are there because of reasons of their own making. They live a life shovelling greasy crap down their throats and can't be bothered to work then feel worse because they can't do anything because they get £65 a week to live on.

I know what you mean though.
Some people are unemployable if they're not in their own field, they are useless at anything else.

Plus, what do you do with someone who can't walk more than 50 yards and is also dyslexic?

Or someone who has 5 fits a day?

My cousin is a professional shooter, he's blind and it hasn't held him back..........

i take exception to the fact that "degenerates" can only do the menial jobs, i am quite intelligent but i love bar work, and retail work.I have even cleaned in stores! someone has to serve you in a shop, and make sure you can do so in a clean environment, if you fancy a meal out where would you be without waitresses and pot washers?. where would you put your rubbish if there were no bin men? DO NOT DEGRADE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE WORLD TICK someone has to do these jobs, and i am glad i am working class .And to have a jumped up idiot demeening the REAL workers of the world because you dont want to get your hands dirty, and would rather the people who do the menial jobs and pay taxes keep you in benefits for the forseeable future, just shows you what a miserable disgrace to the human race you really are. Menial jobs make the world go round and you need to get off your high horse and get in the real world. Hope these cuts affect you, and maybe teach you a lesson

Don't worry OP. With your attitude you'll be unemplyed and receiving benefits for a long time.

Do you think employers will be understanding then given even fit educated people are having problems finding work?

Who will take responsibility if the person has nasty accident as a result of a employer bullying its employee to get back to work or else because that employee is having one of there off days etc
