Brilliant !
A woman complaining that her mother needed help to get around
is holding a picture of her mum - taking the dog for a walk !
You could NOT make it up ! (but the scrounger-loving Daily Mirror does).

A relative of does suffer from fybo and some days are better than others but taking a dog is a no no as you can't walk long distances.
Do you believe that there should be benefits for the truly physical disabled ?

You might well be right, ITK.Maybe she was swinging the lead. Or maybe it was an old photo.
The thing is, neither of us are doctors, so we cant be sure. And the people who carry out the assessments are not doctors either so they cant tell either!
Of course you should have to prove that you need benefits, but lets not pretend that it is done efficiently, when any old person from the street with no medical knowledge is allowed to make judgement.
Do it properly or dont do it at all!

Benefits - who gets them, how much they get, and who pays for it - is a bigger election issue than Brexit for people like Damian Naylor.
He's just left Warrington registry office with his partner Emma and their two-week-old baby.
The 27-year-old has got to get straight back to work as a bricklayer. "I've got to feed the kids, and put clothes on their backs," he tells Newsbeat.
He and workmate Chris reckon others misuse state handouts.
"I've got friends that are just Xbox bums," says Chris. "They live off that dole and play on the Xbox all day."

This on/off Reader Bum experienced "great satisfaction" when the opportunity existed not only to be doing one job but two jobs, weekly hours far in excess of 60 hours per week. I had the chance for a short time to make money, get ahead and even save. But it did not last due to lack of opportunity. Then next I was a "Reader Bum" again!!!!
