Ohhh I agree and all people stricken with any disabling illnesses, we will start at that and eventually widen it to include long term and manageable illnesses.


Seriously I can't wait to have a chairlift, cool is not the word. I wonder could I get one on the grounds I on occasion have fallen up the stairs drunk.

Please don't make a point of people with MS being allowed to live comfortably as bad economics. This sounds like populist rhetoric, but fúcking hell, have a go at the politicians, the developers and the bankers, not those with life-long debilitating illnesses.

How so?
It is at a crazy level at this stage. Grandchildren that live away getting cars for grandfathers and removing the disabled person seat from the car as they have no use for it. The people who are granted the cars dont ever sit in them in alot of cases. Perhaps its down to careless medical people in this area but it really is disgusting. As I said earlier, Ive no issue at all with people who deserve the cars getting these benefits - its actually a great scheme for those people. I have many examples though that would sicken people, well they would certainly sicken anyone who pays their way although people who fraudulently avail of this perk never seem to agree.

Are you happy that this perk is being abused?

If you know about the abuse, report it rather than bitch about it on the boards. Simplez, eh.

^This.

I call bollocks on your anecdotal evidence. You see thousands of these "free" cars? How can you tell? Or are you on about those little blue 3-wheeled cars that disabled people used to drive? Because I haven't seen one of them for nigh on 30 years. I certainly haven't seen one in this country.

And how do you know that the people with these "free" cars are not entitled to them? Are you their doctor?

I know that guy. He changes his gender every other year too at the cost of the state.

I'm not very bothered, I just felt like making this thread for everyone to see what this man gets for free. I feel it is excessive.

I have MS, do you have any idea of the pain involved?I mean physical pain. I don't use a wheelchair so far, thank goodness, but can only stand for a short while. He doesn't get a free car ,by the way, he gets it less taxduty, but don't let facts get in the way of small mindedness.

Wow, if only the OP had MS, he could partake in the (what he considers) mad free for all ...

Think this thread should be closed.
the topic OP posted shouldn't be aloud up for discussion.
it is very disrespectful and sad.

DLA, Housing Benefit etc and most do get cars. And a host of other benefits.

We provide the car and the support you need so you can enjoy worry-free motoring, including:

A choice of around 2,000 cars
Insurance, servicing and maintenance
Full RAC breakdown assistance
Annual tax disc
Tyre and windscreen replacement
60,000 mileage allowance over 3 years
Many adaptations at no extra cost
You don't have to drive - you can nominate up to two other drivers

A close family friend in the North has MS. She has her house paid for, a new car every 3 years, car tax, insurance, disability living allowance, carer's allowance for daughter, money for holidays and of course all medical care.

I have seen her many times and never once did it occur to me to be jealous. Few sane people would be.

If it weren't that it could incur a ban, I would suggest that anyone who has such a fcuking miserable, sad and pathetic life that they have time to be unhappy about the 'perks' of disablement, is themselves so severely mentally retarded that they should apply for these 'perks'* themselves.




*A perk is money, goods, or other benefit to which one is entitled as an employee or as a shareholder of a company.
A perk is not a benefit paid to those unfortunate enough to be disabled in order to try and lessen their suffering.

Really?

I never knew, never even thought to ask what help she gets off the state!


My sister inlaw is wheel chair bound, not from ms. The only thing they got was a second hand electric wheel chair and a 2 storey council house. They needed a cottage or bungalow as she cant get upstairs, she had to sleep in the living room until they purchased a second hand chair lift off ebay. Their car is a 04 i think they got a small bit of a grant for it but they certainly didnt get a brand spanking new one.

She suffers with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_hypertension
and needs a heart and lungs transplant, the condition is terminal, she was given 5 years to live, that was 5 years ago, she is 34 and is living on borrowed time... I bet they were wishing they get all the perks everyone else gets , it makes me wonder are people actually receiving these benefits or are they exaggerated by begrudgers? My bets are they are exaggerated !!!


My brother and sister in-law live in irleand..

I dont know whats more shocking the Op's post of the fact some one liked it :eek:

I thanked it cos I genuinely think the OP is trolling-all he does is state general assumptions and makes broad sweeping claims each one as vague as the next.

We're going to leave at that on this load of total trollox.

Thanks for playing this weeks edition of who can we blame for getting too many handouts.
