Can I speak to a decision maker?

Well if we all had that attitude no one would work. Benefits are there for the most disadvantaged of our society. (And by that I mean people who literally cannot get out of bed without help for what ever reason) I have numerous health problems which, if I chose to, would lead me to a life on benefits, but I choose not not to. I'd rather go to work, in pain, and know that the money I've brought home at the end of the month is my money that I have earned. I will not be beholden to anyone. I pay my mortgage, provide for the children I chose to have and I will continue to do so until I can do so no longer. I work in the benefits system and to have a little 18 year old, I can think of no polite way of putting this, CHAV, come in and tell me he is too depressed to work, Oh come on!! I see people abuse this system every day "Oh, I'm too sick to work, I can't cook for myself (but they can lift a bottle of buckfast) I need a crisis loan cause I lost my money for the 17th time this year! Seriously, this is what is wrong with the system, too many players!
I'm surprised no one has made complaints about you in your job.
I'll tell you now if i had to go into a job centre and be seen by someone like you making assumptions.. i'd be speaking to your line manager..
I can't cook for myself and neither can i lift a bottle of beer, unless i want to spill it everywhere.
Would you like me to upload pictures of my arms where i burn myself (by accident) by trying to cook, got a nice raw one from trying to dish food onto a plate today.
I agree with the other poster saying you are not working to your best capacity, it looks like you are taking your pain out on others... is that fair.
2.30 in the morning and i am sat up in pain, one leg twitching for England the other restless... nothing i can do or take will help, so when i do eventually go to bed and get sleep, probably means i won't get up till mid day.... does that make me lazy, chav like...
I need to hand my esa 50 in, in a few weeks, no doubt atos will see i am fit for work.. yes i will appeal. being a work shy chav that i am. :mad:0
