Here we go again.

OP do you actually have a question or is this just more bile aimed at those of us who are unfortunate enough to need to apply for DLA.

If what you say is true then report her and she will be investigated.

But only do it if you know you are 100% correct...

i once tried an aqua fit class and i get dla.

i dislocated my knee doing it but i still tried it. id be upset if someone was calling me a fraud for trying to get on with things.

i look fine. like a normal young fat chick, doesnt mean im not in pain. sometimes i think it would be better for everyone if i used a wheelchair to make them feel i deserve it.

following the advise i have chose to report this person

as i'm a home carer who works in the community with genuine disabled people, i strongly feel this person is a fraud....

i doubt very much i'm jealous, it's just with all the government cut backs it's the genuine disabled people who will lose out to fraudsters like my neighbour, if the people who have replied are genuine disabled people you should think how people like my neighbour will affect you financially.

If you currently receiving home help for personal hygiene, shopping cleaning ect the price of the service is rising, your funding will stay the same so YOU will be expected to pay the difference from your benefit..

Judge, jury and executioner - I hope you are not so judgmental with your clients.

I have a bad back/knees/ankles/elbow, vertigo, etc. Can I still Zumba?

Please let me know if you have an injury or condition that may cause some discomfort! The steps can be modified for your safety. If you have not exercised in a long time, please see your doctor to obtain clearance to start classes. Zumba can be intense, so go at your own pace and listen to your body! Take a break when you need one! You don't have to keep up with everyone else your first class! Don't overdo it, we want you to have fun and come back!

Zumba Gold® Classes – The Zumba Gold program targets the largest growing segment of the population: baby boomers. It takes the Zumba® formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of the active older participant, as well as those just starting their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle. What stays the same are all the elements the Zumba® Fitness-Party is known for: the zesty Latin music, like salsa, merengue, cumbia and reggaeton; the exhilarating, easy-to-follow moves; and the invigorating, party-like atmosphere. Active older adults want camaraderie, excitement and fitness as a regular part of their weekly schedule. The Zumba Gold class is the perfect fit. It's a dance-fitness class that feels friendly, and most of all, fun.

In your line of work you must have heard of occupational therapy? It helps the disabled by engaging them in activity. With the right help any disabled person can be active and have it be a benefit to their health.

Gardening can be part of the programme as can a reduced zumba programme such as zumba gold. What do you do with the disabled people you care for? Have them stare at a wall all day? Or worse the TV?

I'm surprised at your attitude given your line of work but i can only take you at your word (despite your original post sounding irrational and bitter despite what you say).

I suppose it can't do any harm, if her back is so bad that surgery isn't even an option anymore she should pass with flying colours.

Keep us updated if possible and don't discount activity for the disabled no matter how strenious it may appear to the layman.
