Incapacity benefit .... im sure i heard today that 100,000 people are claiming incapacity benefit for .... ACNE!!!!!!! Did i hear right? Surely thats incorrect. The state of benefits in this country is a joke!
I wonder at what point common sense flew out the window. the statistics sound fishy but if they are true then this is just a complete and utter joke to think 100 thousand people are sitting at home with everything paid fo because they have spots on their face....... No point getting angry about it any more - its just hilarious now!
Re: Incapacity benefit You heard wrong "More bizarre reasons given include 50 people who cite acne and a similar number with a "nail disorder"." http://politics.guardian.co.uk/homeaffairs/story/0,,2213325,00.html
Turns out it was 100, and not 100k Still, thats 100 people who feel someone else owes them a living. 100 too many. You trying to link me up with the Daily mail frenchie? Its the newspaper i hate most in this world, along with the daily diana express.
Hence my trying to link you with it Anyway, you can't really comment on these 100 people without knowing their story.
It's even worse than you though - if 25 million records have been lost, then that means that about half the country is claiming child benefits http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7103566.stm
