It continues… How can it be right for taxes to be used to subsidise alcoholics and drug abusers, in the guise of a questionable, inadequately monitored payment called ‘Disability Living Allowance’, which can be obtained without a doctor’s letter? The same way a smoker can get access to a mobility allowance when they can’t walk more than 10 steps; or a fast food junkie can apply for home renovations because they can’t fit through ...

At lunchtime she phoned the benefits folks "helpline" to ask about help with the repeat claim forms. Unfortunately she got a very snotty, obstructive twat who robotically repeated an annoying and unhelpful quote from the letter, "you must complete and return the form before april" to her every question. I know we sound like scroungers but I worked full time and paid National Insurance for thirty years. Surely our great welfare state must be the envy of the world.I was up early again after little sleep but I still don't feel energetic. I've spent the day trying in vain to make a start on my first written exam. I'm driven but I can't seem to apply myself at all, can't focus. I try to rearrange a simple equation and sit staring at the page. I go t...

Only a month after jumping ship and waving farewell to the pirate and the pills they are trying to pressgang me with the King’s shilling. So even though I was only awarded DLA in September, they want me to reapply now for when it runs out in August. The form is a nightmare. I gave up the last time after a couple of hours. Mrs Mo persevered for the best part of a day. In the end she travel to meet with a benefits officer to sort it all out. I had hoped it would simply be a case of confirming that my circumstances hadn’t changed but no they want it all. If only we had kept a copy to copy from.One of the parts is about what medication I am taking and what psychiatrist I am seeing. It looks ...
