The DWP are not fit for purpose. They are actively doing all they can to prevent people with disabilities and chronic health conditions, to the point of criminalising being ill.
The government along with the collusion from the BBC, ITV, C4 and Channel 5 have vilified everyone on benefits ….sorry entitlements or in actual fact the payout from the National Insurance premiums which we all pay.
Most claimants are genuine, but if seen out without a wheelchair are judged to be defrauding the country. Given that there are a significant number of hidden disabilities can you judge without being their doctor? No you truly cannot. Yet people readily choose to do so, looking at someone for a brief moment had believing they know their entire life story.
It’s basically a system forcing such guilt upon people, that they can no longer cope and attempt, sadly too often succeed in taking their own lives,and even then are judged to be selfish, or taking the easy way out.
Disabled people live every day despite in most cases their main issue being physical, with anxiety and depression brought on by the pressure society now places upon them to be seen as being ill.
Fascism and National Socialism target the disabled early on, because it is so easy to dehumanise them to the population. Even my own adult children echo their mother’s (my very ex wife) words, and simply see me as a useless cripple that should just shuffle off and die. And they represent many people’s views upon those unable to continue to work due to health.
It’s an extremely cruel system, and identifies how much of a sham the system I paid into for several decades before I had no choice but to leave my career, the role I had worked for, tye pride I had in my role, the extremely good wages, the choices I had every day and the respect from others and more importantly my self
My career was my life, but now my life is generally looking from my living room window at greying skies.
I do have days of some small remission, but these are not often, I cannot plan around them, and often am now too nervous to embrace them. To me being disabled in the UK is an endless prison sentence with now parole.
