The UK government recently gave themselves a thousands of pounds each payrise. It’s amazing how there’s always enough money to make the rich richer, but the poor must be starved to death or else the country will go bankrupt.

The world is creeping closer and closer to actual slavery for the masses. I remember a while ago they invented robots that could be controlled with your eyes or mind, and paralysed people in hospital beds were to operate them so they could continue to work. Everyone was like “Oh how lovely, paralysed people still get to work!” I was thinking how evil and dystopian, you can’t even be paralysed in a hospital bed without having to work. Of course people used the same excuses then that someone in this thread is using now “It’s to benefit the disabled person, they want to work, etc.” Well what happens when all this becomes normalised - there will be no more choice. You can be dying or paralysed and people will say “That’s no excuse - other dying and paralysed people manage to keep working, so get back to work!”

Thank you. Unfortunately some professionals still don’t get it, even when it’s right in front of their face. I was recently having some useless mental health therapy, I just stuck it out to help my benefit appeal. The therapist was awful in so many ways. When I told her how fearful i was of becoming homeless if I lose my appeal, she just said “Don’t worry if you become homeless I’ll put you in touch with a homeless shelter,” like it was no big deal at all. When I didn’t want to continue her shitty therapy she threatened to call the benefits people and tell them I wasn’t continuing with it, which could have adversely affected my appeal so I stuck the therapy out to the end even though it was making me worse, not better.

Thanks for the bump, and the moral support.

OK thanks. I was worried maybe there was just something wrong at my end and I wouldn’t be able to fix it.

Exactly. The only way I can eat right now is by begging for food on mutual aid, because it’s so difficult to get and keep disability benefits. Despite multiple letters of support from doctors.

I find it terrifying. If I don’t win my appeal, or get a short award and have to keep going through this, i really don’t see any way out but su1c1d£. I hate this idea that it’s so easy to get disability benefits you can just fake it. I’m in active cancer treatment, recovering from a stroke and partially sighted amongst other things and I still got awarded zero points.

And I hate this “there is some work they can do,” like yes, because there are so many employers looking for someone who is basically debilitated, but can do one or two small things. There aren’t even enough jobs in the UK! There’s something like 700K jobs available right now, with 1.6 million people looking for work. What jobs are all of these disabled people going to do, who wants to hire us when there are plenty of able bodied jobseekers, and if the disabled are given these jobs then there will be lots of able bodied people unemployed since there aren’t enough jobs.

I also hate rich people making out it’s so easy - I guarantee you if this fucker wasn’t a rich landlord peer he’d be languishing on the long NHS waiting list for treatment like the rest of us. One of the reasons there are so many sick people in the UK is because the NHS is falling apart and it takes a dangerously long time to get treatment. I’m permanently disabled from my stroke because I had to wait so long for treatment.

But no, all disabled people are just obese, alcoholic fakers. FFS legalise assisted suicide now and exterminate us quickly. I’d rather that than being starved to death slowly.

Thanks for the bump!

This was out the back anyway, nowhere near the front door. But no there isn’t a ring doorbell or anything like that.
