ESA, Cant work... yet...

mr2gti

I find it hard to understand that so many people are on this very forum - begging and pleading for help regarding work-related benefits such as ESA, JSA and alike...

...some of the threads I've seen are cram packed full of wisdom and loophole spotters and people genuinely in the know.

I'm struggling though to know why people with the clear ability to type and post online - massive huge texts regarding a claim they are scared to lose - saying they "cannot work" yet they have an ability to type, at home, on a PC/Laptop/Tablet and don't think that they could do this, from home, as a job?

Seriously - am I missing the point here or what? You can do a job, from home that is basically the same as you ranting on a forum on how you've just "dodged failing a WCA at ATOS".

Why is this happening? Why are so many people using some illnesses to mean they cannot do a thing?

Just interested in ALL opinions and not looking for a slagging match - but as a full time employee of a company, whilst having really bad asthma and just "getting on with it", so of the things I read on here are just plain ridiculous.

ever though how they type on forums....

may not be as simple as you think.


If this to stir up the anti scum brigade, stop there

where are all of these wonderful work from home jobs? if you see a load of them, send them my way please.

perhaps you should consider one too, would save you sitting in your office with your asthma when you could be tucked up in your pj's on your sofa typing from home and being paid.

I must be ok to work then, I mean here I am typing away on my tablet, choosing my next uni course, researching, knowing loopholes.

Oh did I mention I'm in a hospital on diamorphine, oxygen and I can't walk at the moment.

But dont worry, I've got a job to go back to when my graft settles.

I do sort of see your point, While there will always be genuine cases there are an awful lot of one's pleading about how they will definetley be unable to work for the forseeable future.

IMO benefits have become to comfortable and people who have been claiming them for a length of time are becoming very unsettled with the proposed changes, ie frequent medicals etc and they seem to be going into panic mode that their benefits may be taken away from them.

I blame the previous government, they have created a society of people who think that "passing" a medical is some huge triumph.

Nope, can't see the ones that claim to have just "dodged failing a WCA at ATOS". Feel free to elaborate!
