Comment on Welfare Reform: Criticism by Trev Fairminer
I have a Blue Badge which my doctor supported me with.She filled in her report and sent it off, she signed to say ” I have a mobility impairment which makes it impossible, or virtually impossible for me to walk, considerations such as carrying parcels are not to be taken into account. The disability is permanent and not just spasmodic and is of a physical rather than a psychological nature.”
I also have a report from my GP This is a statement to say
“I also have osteoartritis in my right hip which is severe and stops me from walking”"The osteoarthritis is getting worse and he cannot walk more than 50 yards”
“Mr Fairminers disability means that he is unable to work”
However one of the Dodgy doctors in the pay of DLA, who never saw me walk anywhere, said I could walk 400metres. His report was fictitious, misleading and certainly not about me !! Because of this I have been fighting for 3 years to get the higher rate mobility. Tribunals keep harping on about this miraculous 400 metres walk, and refusing my appeal. I have e mailed every MP in the country. I have begun a campaign. For further info, look at my website.

Comment on Sanctioned for not Actively Seeking Employment? by Firas
OMG now I’m really worried!! I’ve been on JSA for jut under 13 weeks, I received a letter from the Jobcentre asking for a meeting soon to discuss the next steps, I’ve been told this is where I become a on 2nd stage jsa and become entitled to New Deal. But now that I am hearing all the horror stories here I am so worried that they will sanction my benefits too. I mean I have been applying to jobs, but recently one of their advisers told me that I only have one job option and that is limiting my searches and that has to change, I wasn’t even ware there was only one, when I applied they asked me what I do and I answered!!
What’s going on in this country people? We pay our taxes for the Olympics and all that, and our people are starving because some snotty jobcentre adviser thinks they are not doing enough to get back to work?? How are you supposed to live if your only income is stopped, basically they are telling people to become criminals!!
