He seems fit enough to me, he just doesn't want to work, and his Mother seems to egg him on...

Thing is there is genuine people out there and there's folk like this 'man' who get everything for nothing. My mum is 66 and is a full time carer for my Aunt who has had 3 strokes and can't get into the shower, mum applied for a grant to get a walk in shower and they've refused point blank, says she can manage when people help her, people being my OAP Mother. Make me so mad...
i'm bliddy sure my back is worse than his and i work 8hrs a day 6 days a week
My Mum is riddled with atiritus (sp), she worked her fingers to the bone until she was 65, and still does a couple of cleaning jobs at 70!!! Never complained! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Maybe if he did exert himself a little bit more he'd find the exercise helps him. Instead he wants to live off the state for the rest of his miserable, lazy damn life...I loathe scroungers, it gives the people who really need it a bad name...
He can mop a floor with some gusto..

Oh here's another one... 5 years on the sick.. alcoholic who only drinks a bottle every 2 weeks
I actually have to tape this programme and watch it when kids are not in as i am inclined to swear
When you think you work hard for everything you get,save up for stuff etc and get no help with nothing
Genuine people with different needs on benefit system get turned down and others get all for nothing makes my blood boil

I'm feeling sorry for the woman who was abused as a child. 
Why do they pussyfoot around these folks instead of demanding they get a job...counsellors, sympathy...yada, yada....I don't know anyone who's not got problems one way or another, yet they still get on in life...
In our local paper last week an old lady applied for disibility as she had half of her leg amputated. She was in hospital when she applied and the reply was ......
Get back to us in three months and tell us if you have recovered. She said Im no doctor but my leg wont be growing back, she is blind in one eye as well. Worked all her life and paid her dues to be treat like this.
It is dispicable

Doesn't it make you sick...I read about a fella with a false leg, he got part time work for something to do as he had always grafted and needed to work, for his pride...he still struggled but was happy to be working...next thing the council took his disability parking badge away from him....idiots...

I just can't understand NOT wanting to work..what on earth else would you do during the day???
They are lazy gits and don't deserve they help people try to give them when there are people genuinely trying to find work and can't....
...these advisors are bending over backwards to help lost causes when there's hundreds of thousands of folks who have lost their jobs in this recession, through no fault of their own, who would do any job to earn money and support their families....shame on the shirkers, it seems they get more attention than the decent folk do...

I love programmes like this.. makes me feel great about getting up at 6 a.m getting home at 8 p.m and paying higher rate tax to pay for people to sleep in to the afternoon..
