I feel being in a new relationship, one disabled and other able bodied, it puts financial problems in the way of getting to know each other.

Yes, after a while of getting to know if relationship is going to work in the long term, then sorting out the financials later is better.

Nowadays relationships come and go, separation and divorce is more common than may be 40 years ago.

I would not want the disabled partner to suffer the discrimination of being carried financially by the other partner.

Surely in this day and age, especially if people have had a working career before disablement considering the taxes they have paid pre-disablement and also national insurance contributions they have made, disabled people should be adequately protected in their own individual right by this government if they are never able to work again.

New relationship with financial problems and not on an even keel with partner brings more problems.

It appears to me disabled people are being discriminated through know fault of their own, and really everybody deserves to be able to find a loving caring partner without these obstacles in their way. This is why a lot of disabled are wary of sharing a life with another and stay single.

That's why they have contribution and income based benefits.


Couples are expected to provide for one and another, why should the tax payer fund this if the partner can?
