My daughter has been ill for a long time. She has not had a penny of benefits apart from a short time on SSP...which ran out some time last July.
She gets no benefits because her husband earns just slightly over the threshold where she would be able to claim.
A request was put in for her to receive PIP(the new name for DLA) that was in May last year...she has not had a single penny ...and only recently had an ATOS interview in her home because she is too ill to travel...she was told that the processing of this claim could take three months.
So I am fully aware of the difficulties the claimants face.
My comments have been made in the face of being aware of these difficulties from a personal point of view.
She has had to give up on things that many of us take for granted.
You have to cut your coat according to your cloth.

I have said many times that if those who should pay tax paid the amount that is required(thinking of the legal tax evasion that the multi national companies practice while the government - and not just this government but preceding ones too, seem to think is alright)then there would be enough in the pot to pay those in need, what would be something that allows a life, rather than an existence

Well, the last hour has brought the five most accurate and worthwhile posts this half baked thread is likely to see.

Well done Margaret & accyman.

I notice you didn't come up with anything that even resembled "accurate" or "worthwhile" :rolleyes:

I wasn't trying to insult you Less,[space]I hope you didn't take it that way ;)

I used the word creep purely because you called me a creep "many days before".
The post I quoted was only "accurate" and "worthwhile" to you and those you was creeping up to.

As for upsetting me,[space]thanks again for a laugh :rofl38:

This implies that Less was creeping to Accyman and myself.

Less has no need to creep to anyone...least of all me(I can't speak for Accyman) He has absolutely nothing to gain by creeping.
It's not even as if I am in this supposed 'clique'.

So glad you had a laugh, it is very important to be able to laugh at oneself,
you seem to have a greater chance of doing that than most.

Your opinion, whether honest or otherwise isn't worth much to most of us.
