I take it you have never had to have a EMP to visit or the stressful and humiliating fight you have to go through to get DLA? The comments off people of.."Well you are not in a wheelchair" or "What's wrong with you then?"
With a fluctuating condition I can be fine for 1 week and unable to do anything for a month.

Have you ever tried to explain that to someone who comes out just to disprove your claim? Have you ever supplied letters from GP's, consultants and OT's and still had it refused and had to fight it?


And for the record, I wouldn't have a Vauxhall Zafira if it was a free car!

It's lovely to have all these opinions from the able-bodied, fully fit people who have such a good idea of what disabling conditions (actual disabilities and illnesses) are like to live with and that so many of us are fiddling the system!:mad:

I have myself and currently going through my 3rd claim.

Between us, my OH and I paid out for over 60 years - and as it was our not- so-wonderful NHS that left us permanently disabled, I resent this ongoing suggestion that we are lolling about watching daytime TV when we could really work, if we weren't so idle.:rolleyes:

Meanwhile, I watch when youngsters leave school and appear allergic to work, some women make a career of seeing how many kids they can have by different fathers, and others land on these shores and then claim, before they have ever put anything in.:mad:

Those that tend to chunter the loudest on here also claim Tax Credits, without realising that taxpayers are subsidising them as well, as they are benefits by another name.:rolleyes:

If anyone can cure me, please PM, and I will assure them that I will return to work when that happens. I would lurve to have mobility etc., back.

If anyone wants my benefits, then please feel free to take my disability as well.:rolleyes:

I used to love going for walks getting fresh air, what I would give to be able to do that again. Going to work is tiring and can be very boring but its certianly better to be tired for an 8 hour shift then be in 24 hour pain.
