This is Disgraceful

I need to rant about this because it is so disgraceful.

Five years ago my friend's dad was in an accident. He used to drive a lorry for a crisps company and the lorry tipped over and he was left with serious head injuries.

Since then he's been unable to work and has been on disability allowances.

Now the idiots that deal with his claim (Department of work and Pensions) have decided to end his claim because he is too disabled to work but not disabled enough for incapcity benefits.

As a result the only income my friend's family now has is his Jobseekers allowance; which is only about £35 a week.

Seriously how can they justify ending his claim when there a millions of people claiming benefits when they are perfectly fit to work. My driving instructor told me that a bloke he knows willing gets cortisone injected into his spine so he doesn't have to work when there is nothing wrong with his back. My friend's dad is genuinely disabled and they won't help.
