  We the Tax payers will have to pay twice. On the plus side though, the pubs and clubs will see a nice increase in turnover !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

  This is a discriminatory statement. Being disabled is horrible, but Disablism is worse. I am chronically disabled with Movement Disabilities. I do not drink. The only drugs I take are my 32 pills a day, and I have become worse. I worked hard until this happened. Cheats deserve to be punished to the fullest extent possible, but please do not make fun of me and my voice, my tremors, my vision and excruciating pain, because I’m not a cheat.

  No one is pointing the finger at genuine disabled people whatsoever.
  
  I know of two people getting housing and CT benefit who are wholly undeserving and don't NEED it, who I am quite sure will also mis-use this trial.
  
  (and yes, I have reported one of them who lives with their high earning partner who they conveniently claim lives elsewhere...)

  Lady Penelopee, camden, and Major Rhode-Werks:
  
  I owe you all an apology. It is so difficult when I go out in my mobility scooter, with children laughing at me and I was blocked trying to leave Clarendon Centre onto Cornmarket and a man spat on me, calling me ’Scrounger Scum’.
  
  I am 45, lost my fiancée, friends, family, and a sense of hope. On 27 November 2007, I began an almost 5-year-descent, when my larygnx went paralysed and went into a series of neurodegenerative disorders that almost destroyed my hope in life. It is hard asking for help. It is frightening when I had to start from scratch, unable to do things for myself, and seeing the stares and hearing the whispers. It makes a man lose all sense of pride while fearing that some outsourced organisation has one goal: to eliminate every working-age disabled person off of Benefits. I go without meals so I was able to save for an awning to be installed, when the cost was dropped on offer by two-thirds. It is in my back garden, and I fear it is rusting because I can’t get it installed.
  
  I am sorry about doing the very thing I have been through: tarring you with the same brush. Please accept the apology from a humble man with Generalised Dystonia-Parkinsonis
  m that counts his two cats as his friends."
