Yeah, and I know quite a few that are 'virtually unable to walk' yet manage to engage in sport, cycling and the odd one that runs a HGV business where he can be found quite regularly trunking up and down the A1 with up to 44tonnes of vehicle under him!

Then report them.

Yes, I agree there are other criteria (I was trying to edit my post but you beat me to it) - my point is anyone meeting the HRM criteria truthfully is surely 'disabled enough' for the other poster.

People can reach the HRM criteria truthfully but still be capable of far more than you would expect of someone severely disabled. I am not talking about people who have lied, but people who have manipulated the criteria to fit their circumstances - they are doing nothing wrong in legal terms.

Probably being a bit thick here, but I don't think I understand - do you have an example of how someone would manipulate the criteria on the grounds of physical mobility in particular ?

If you go to the Tribunals website you can search on previous cases - they make for interesting reading, especially when you can't sleep!

I'm sorry but that does not feature in my way of life.
They do what they do and I do what I do!
I don't make a habit of 'grassin' on people.
