Too bad Ted Kennedy doesn't refuse to work because he's too fat.....
I’ve been noticing a lot of negative threads about the UK.
Is it “bash UK week”? LOL
Is there anything good coming out of the UK? Can someone please post some? LOL
You’d be amazed at how many of these people are on semi-permanent leave from Government jobs.
I’m lazy and undisciplined. I’m tired of losing out to those self-motivated freaks whose only claim to success is that they were born without my disability.
Indolence should be recognized under the Americans With Disablities Act.
When will those Fascist Republicans realize that sloth is a medical problem that needs to be addressed with more government subsidies for me and my fellow sufferers?
Is there anything good coming out of the UK? Can someone please post some?Well, lots of good people are fed up and leaving the UK. Does that count? ;-)
Many many people are on SSDI for amazing reasons. Hey and with HIPPA you cannot find out why. No one can write about it because of those Health privacy acts.
It is a shame and a way for healthcare to protact and enlarge their scope.
I believe that “chronic fatigue syndrome”, which was a popular one in the late 80’s/early 90’s is a joke now. It seems doctors don’t buy that one anymore as a good excuse for disability. But i could be wrong. It’s just that i don’t hear people claiming to have it anymore like i did then.
The new one that really gets me is “restless leg syndrome”. I don’t know if people use it as a reason for disability yet, but it could turn into that because apparently if you have RLS you can’t sleep. I have 3 relatives that claim to have this. My guess is that it’s probably just a side effect from other meds they’re taking. Or else they are just people who can’t relax.
paired with "too poor to eat" ought to resolve any gluttony issues in short order.

and that's just a small sample. there's lots of good news about the UK, and I post as much as I can.
Don’t forget about chronic dry eye.
Sightedness.........yeah, that's it......discrimination against those who need vision correction. I need compensation for a lifetime of disability and discrimination.
Oh, you're right. Now there's a real good one for disability purposes. How can you look at a computer screen all day long with CDE?
I have had this problem for years, since I was a kid. I never knew it was a "syndrome" until a few years ago, I just thought I was the only one that had the freaky thing going. No, I've never been to a doctor about it or been "diagnosed", nor do I complain about it or miss work, etc. I just wanted you to know that it is real and is annoying as hell. It's not so bad now in my older years, but when I was young, it drove me nuts.
Leprocy sounds like a reason not to work or at least it sounds like it. These are the same people that get a year off for having a baby. They just don’t like to work in Europe or at least they don’t base work with money.
Can’t think of much at the moment...
Oh, wait I can. The liberal democrat leadership race - the two candidates made complete idiots of themselves over the weekend.
Personally, when I read things like this I get stressed and depressed.
Maybe I should take some time off to recover
I always wondered about that, because I have seen many overweight people using Food Stamps, and have never seen a starved-looking "Homeless".
In the UK, though, one could make the argument that they are merely on the doll while awaiting the NHS Appointment to resolve their problem.
