this is for all to have a say , i ave noticed that the goverment is really soft where ever you look at different circumstances.
this one is that i have a disabled child myself , and i work very hard at my job . like many more in with the same situation fetching up disabled children , me and my partner does not claim disability benefits at all witch i could and have a good new car out side my house but, i so proud of been a worker like many ,for the point,
my wife looks after our child it only takes one parent to take care .
why ,,, i say why is it that some people who, is in the same situation both the parents stayin at home all day doin nothin claiming this , that ,and everything ,like a new car when it only take one person is it fare why does the goverment make one of them work a big question mark ????

You can hold your head up & be proud.... Just don't put other people down just because they don't have the same outlook on life & stubborn determination that you obviously have. Their way is just as valid as yours, in fact it could be argued that by both parents staying at home to care for the child is better for both the child & the other carer as the burden (not meant in a negative way) is shared more evenly. So if there is a system in place then why not take advantage of it to do the best for your family?

You are to be congratulated for being able to manage but many people are not able to do so. Disability benefits are there to support people whose time and effort is spent on caring for someone and therefore may not be able to access the world of work in the same way as those without disability or caring responsibilities. It is also worth remembering that whilst it takes one person to care in your family it may not be the same in other families. I know im boring but ill say it again, you cant make judgements about the needs of people with disabilities by looking in from the outside. Benefits are there to help, if you dont need them fine but that does not mean that you should criticise others who do need them.

If you're entitled to a benefit, claim it. It's what you pay taxes for .

More people chasing a finite number of jobs leading to increased unemployment.

There is no man in this county that can convince me that someone at home doing nothing for the money they are getting is benefiting me in any way. I would have them out doing menial tasks for their money.

If you would read my post i said someone at home doing NOTHING for the money they are getting. Caring is doing something or are you telling me that carers do nothing?

What do you mean. The person who receives the disability benefit, should be doing something.

Aren't Carer's Allowance and Disability Allowance two different things. Caring is without a doubt a full time job, but to my understanding the disagreement on here is about people on Disability Allowance, some of whom could actually do jobs but they choose not to.

I don't really have strong views on this either way, but I do believe that the OP should feel proud for wanting to support his family. Although I have to say, in the current climate of redundancies and scarcity of jobs, that it is the willingness to work not whether you have a job or not that you should be proud of.

This post sounds like its moving away from the point (as does all threads of this nature lol). First of all I think disability benefit is entirely different from income support and yes it is also abused but you have to forget about this and focus on the thought that the genuine people are getting help when they need it. People have varying degrees of disability and referring to the mobility scheme, some people need a car with wheelchair access which is obviously very expensive and outwith what people would normally pay for a car and the extra cost is associated with the person's disability (this is just an example)
Brian you obviously have good working values but don't you think its possible your situation could change, you haven't said what your child's disability is but supposing her physical needs increase, she is going to get older as are you and your wife and you may one day find it difficult to assist her, perhaps as a teenager she won't want her mum and dad helping with personal care etc. that money is there for this purpose. What about when your child becomes an adult and wants to live an independant life, I doubt she would be able to do that without financial support and there is no shame in claiming money that is needed. I would think about claiming it because really your claiming for your daughter and not yourself and it may be more difficult to apply for in the future

Yes i must apologise for moving away from the main point. This page should be used for praising Brian's attitude and his commitment to his family.

yes its up to me if i work or not but the matter is that i would rather work and look at the facts when she gets older i will face that ,when time comes what i say is i no people, nothing wrong with there children claiming disability and living allowance got brand new car so they idle about all day , doing nothing when the money could go to someone who is properly disabled and who needs it believe me i am not jealous or envay of them i think the goverment should look in to this sort of thing and make them go for proper interviews to see specialist or medical boards and not the local medical board either give the money to the once who does need it i say plus the care

doing nothing when the money could go to someone who is properly disabled and who needs it

Except that it wouldn't go to someone else who needs it, it would just stay in the governments coffers, maybe fund a tax cut for the rich. They don't have a big pot of money to distribute & the less people who claim the more each gets, it just doesn't work like that. If you really want it to go to someone else then claim it yourself & give it away.
