Welfare state ?
I have a frozen shoulder and against doctors advice I carried on working for the last month in agony due mainly to poor finances on Friday my shoulder finally gave out completely locked and I ended up in a @ e in shock due to unbearable amount of pain .

So now I'm signed off and will be for a good while my other half is on a few pence more than minimum wage even though she has a degree . I phoned welfare rights to discover I get sweat fa apart from ssp .

With both if us in full time work we struggle to cover the basic costs were even moving to a Shiite flat to reduce cost I'm so happy I have destroyed my body working since I was 15 and paid all my taxes i really am

And they wonder why the country is drokked

That's rubbish man, first of all - I hope your shoulder gets better soon. That kind of pain is horrific.

Second of all, I agree - we'll happily pay loads of cash to people who don't want to work, but it seems those of us who genuinely need help have to fight for it tooth and nail.

Properly messed up.

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, hope it gets better soon.

Pretty much the state of the country to be honest. Lots of benefits are paid out to cnuts who don't want to work, they breed more and more to receive more benefits. They sit at home all day drinking Stella and watch blue rays on their shiny PS3, whilst people who NEED the help that benefits provide...get the shaft.

My fiance's mum managed to beat cancer last year, but she's been left with lots of other health issues....such as heart failure. She's had a zapper thing put in her chest to keep her heart on rhythm. She'll probably never be well enough to work again, and she receives sod all in financial help from the government, and just to twist the knife some more, they've cut disability benefit.

I know I've recently found out about the atos shafting
And I know their are a lot worse off people than me and I'll heal over time luckily

Just drokks me off after being a hard working individual all of my working life when the worst comes you can't count on anything .

As for my employer who took me to a @e in agony the conversation basically went thanks for 9 years train your replacement and find a new job

And yet people wonder why we hate the UK?

Chat to the CAB as there is nowt you can do about being off because you're injured and I'm sure they can't just bin you like that after that kind of service. Does suck balls though, makes you wonder why we bother working at all.
