Come on we all know someone on the fiddle be it dla or any other benefit.:)

I certainly don't!

And if I did I really hope I would do something about it, probably talk to the person first before jumping to any conclusions.

I'm with starchild here.

I am in receipt of HRM and I'm able to walk. I just can't walk unaided and walking causes severe pain.

RA affecting the the entire body, including the feet, whilst it is unecessary to use a wheelchair, can result in constant, unrelenting pain before even putting any weight on by standing up, made hundreds of times worse by the addition of body weight and movement. Crutches wouldn't stop it, a wheelchair wouldn't stop it, a fekkin flying carpet wouldn't stop the pain.

So whilst there is technically an ability to stand and walk, there is zero ability to stand and walk without pain. It is, therefore, eligible for HRM as the rules currently stand. And that is all there is to it.


It is easy to only read the bits that are relevant to your own personal circumstance. Add any misguided perceptions or attitudes and you have a recipe for misunderstandings and online arguments.

For gods sake, can some please find a post of mine which ive said this, so called person can walk therefore shes not entitled to HRM ,NO, maybe thats because i havent .

Of course HRM doesnt mean you have to be wheelchair bound .You are assumming shes genuine and i obviously dont think she is.

My opinion and your opinion ,now shes been reported lets just let the DWP handle it .

Why on earth are you calling her a 'so called person'??? Jeez,not judgemental in the slightest are you and god forbid a disabled person could attempt to do something normal:eek: I mean,they couldn't could they?:eek:

Erm, I don't actually recall my posting being either directed specifically at you or in the tone you are adopting. I would prefer it if you didn't address me in that manner again.

what a joke the woman near me digs her garden and posts on facebook she's been Zumba classes for over 6 weeks, but yet she's been decline yet another back op as there is nothing they can do for her..... she walks around with a stick or rides on her mobility scooter, or is flying about in her mobility car... i wish i could afford to buy all the latest gadgets, apply for 4 venues at the Olympics for the family of 4..... looks like benefit is best................

My OH was helping me in the garden last week move some flags and fence posts about. The day before we went on an 8 mile walk with the dogs. 6 Months ago we decorated the living room which has walls that are 12 foot high.

Next week though my OH might be confined to their bed for the entire week due to various mental health/disability problems.

Every time we fill in the DLA forms we get told by the CAB/Benefits Advisers to fill them in based on your worse day.

So, OP go and take your green eyes and f**k off...
