Hello to everyone. This is my first post but i've spent a few months reading the forum so hopefully ill cause not too much trouble.

I've found it really hard to cope with the fact that some of my co workers are earning more than my wage every month in benefits. No one wants an injury or anything like that, but do you think its right when someone who is doing the same job as you and is not in a wheel chair etc is earning more than you?.

I think its caused resentment in the work place and the failure of many friendships across the country. I know some people need extra help etc but if you work and do the same job as an able bodied person, when should the help stop. I arrive at work on the bus, they arrive in a brand new Mobility car, yet they on there feet all day just like me. Strange situation i know as every case needs to be judge on its own merits, but in general do you think its right.

Honestly i am asking as i want to know weather its just me being blinkered or other people feel the same.
