it's not hard to get on disability and i've met several people who milk it and then work cash jobs.
open your eyes.

I agree that there are some that "Rort" the system But "Big Brother" is slowly catching up with these thieves which is fanbloodytastic as far as I am concerned But the majority of people on a disability pension are genuinely in need and to say that things need to be made harder/more uncomfortable for ALL of our disabled people is hogwash and a truly cruel and thoughtless thing to say.

I don't believe that the government wants to make it harder for "Genuine" cases of disability, I am under the impression that they are making a concerted effort to rid the system of the rorting mongrels that are abusing the system.
I have absolutely NO issues with supporting and helping people that are genuinely in need But those Scum that are rorting the system need to be addressed and dealt with ASAP.

Cant help those who don't want it no matter what systems are in place. Seems the Lawyer handbook first line on the page says " My client wants to seek help " just to appease the judge.

Yes, you're spot on about having to want to change, but that isn't possible until they're clean. Until then, they're addicted and can't choose.
