Post 8 may shed light I feel, on why it happens a lot.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -
Can't have it both ways, it can't be a paradise and a sad place frequented by people who need to get a life, at the same time.
Its a paradise for the sad people who bully people on benefits, obviously not a paradise for those people who have to put up with the benefit bashing though.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

No I dont, if you add up the time spent, its far less than a full time job.
And look at the posting hours, and gaps etc.
What job allows that?
I notice you have not addressed my question to you either?
Which by the way is on topic, unlike yours, which is just being incredibly nosey.
Yes I agree it is nosey but you are quite happy to share all your ailments, your previous wonderfully high paying job and how you narrowly escape eviction, need crisis loans to feed yourselves etc. Apparently your whole family finances are predicated on you getting ESA. which is getting increasingly difficult for you and eventually you won't win an appeal.
Surely it would be better for someone to work and get tax credits or whatever.0 -

I dont share all my ailments, only a rough outline, I do mention what happens regarding benefits, when its on topic.
I have already 'not won' an appeal, but had the decision completely reversed by an upper tribunal, who found the first tribunal erred in law.
Of course its better for someone capable of work to work, but as I have successfully proven many times Im not capable, then your point is rather silly.
As for ESA, as I have never had a ESA appeal yet, I have no idea how it will go.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

No I provide facts and relavent info, you simply make assumptions and try to belittle other posters.
You STILL have not answered the question that was on topic near the start of the thread, your happy to bash people on benefits, lets see you provide some actual content to the debate for once by answering and countering my points made earlier.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

I have maintained for a long time that MSE is a benefit bashers paradise.
Well said! That would also make a good sig
As for the claim that someone in this thread could fill in a form and claim they had depression/anxiety etc, belittling those who do suffer with mental illness - yes you could, but would have no medical evidence to back you up.
There will be people on here who have been in and out of psychiatric wards for years, have seen specialist doctors for years have the necessary medical evidence. You don't get put in a psychiatric ward for nothing!
Making sweeping statements implying that everyone here is a malingerer claiming mental illness is pure ignorant. You obviously have no experience of living with such an illness, what it is like, etc, otherwise you would not be so volatile towards people who do suffer, therefore that user's response about everyone one here being malingerers counts for nothing.“How people treat you becomes their karma; how you react becomes yours.”0
