Because I don’t know how sick or deabilitating this illness will be in ten or twenty years time and I want to be comfortable and safe, and able to provide a good life for myself and my family. There is very few people who are unfit and unsuitable for every single type of work. Their primary reason is unwillingness

An SNA who works in West Dublin said the vast majority of people who get one on one SNAs are non national. The non national children are autistic and wont get services in Poland or Lothuania or Estonia for example. The parents hear through the grapevine that the Irish are a soft touch if you need one on one for a child with a disability. We cant keep going with this and we should be concentrating resources on Irish children. Its not right that people are bringing autistic children here for one reason only and thats to get extra resources free of charge. I wont get much if I go to Poland so what's in it for me to have so many Poles here, we need to make things less attractive. How much is child benefit in Poland and can you spend your life on welfare there.

Jasiah Hot Talker wrote: » They’re both as bad as each other. I think anyone who is unable to work due to illness should be looked after but I recently heard of a lady going back to work weeks after finishing her cancer treatment while people quite happily declare themselves unfit for work because of a bad back, or migraines or whatever other day to day issues we often encounter. Social welfare should be there for people who fall on hard times, not for someone to live on without ever lifting a finger. If people find themselves on social welfare long term then they should be encouraged to find work by capping their payments.

There are days with my headaches where I would have to stop and sit or lie down (if I’m at home) wherever I happen to be in the house. I often can’t move for a half hour or more and pain killers don’t rectify the problem. If you’ve been assessed by a doctor as unable to work then that’s how it is. I hope you never have anything like this happen to you but then maybe if it does happen your attitude might shift a bit.

Leo was very quick to rubbish Peter Casey and he is writing pay cheques to keep pavee whingers in business. We have heard enough from this outfit about travellers rights, maybe its time now to thank the Government for funding MC , her partner and her seven children.Pavee need to acknowledge that MC doesnt need to shoplift and she should be told to either return the clothes to Penneys or else reimburse the Store. If Pavee Point dont do this then the Government should consider pulling the funding, what is the point of this organisation anyway, whats its remit and is there a time limit for phasing it out.

I find it very hard to believe that one condition makes someone unfit for every type of work.

Been crippled with back pain? What RaichuMGS and others can go through daily with headaches, back pain, any type of pain and illness is not a lie and you need to understand that.
Have you every lived ah life if that's what you can call it, were you've worked 8 or so hours a day, come home, go straight to bed for 4 hours to sleep because you can barely keep your eyes open? You then get up for an hour to eat, shower get your stuff ready for the morning and are back in bed to sleep till the morning, repeating that 5 days a week? Your weekend involves sleeping for the 2 days to try and regain a bit of strength for the next week. There is no social life just sleep and work. During your working week not only are you exhausted, your muscles, joints etc range from aches to stabbing pains, there's the headaches as well, chronic kidney infections and cystitis where you are p*ssing blood every 5 minutes. Abscesses, rashes and picking up every bug going. Because of your existing autoimmune deceases and the constant fact your body is run down, your heath just keeps getting worse and worse and it means more time off sick and trips to hospital to see specialists. Honestly is that a life worth living, is it even living and should someone be forced to live like that? I f you believe it's the latter then I take it your are into forced euthanasia.
Now you deal with "your" illnesses the way you do and fair play to you that you can carry on but it's not like that for everyone else. I don't know how much pain you are in or what exactly you suffer from but you come across as someone who is bitter that other people can be sicker than you and not be able to work. You actually sound like one of those people that many people with invisibly illnesses come across every day that look at them and say you don't look sick, there can't be anything wrong with you. They are usually the same people when they see a disabled badge on a car and the person is walking unaided complain that that person shouldn't be issued a badge because they can walk.
I just hope no member of your family gets ill and has to rely on you for help and sympathy
freshpopcorn wrote: » Just out interest Shoesdayschild what would you do if the pain got to much? If it became so bad you couldn't leave the house or you could barely move with pain. Would you accept social welfare or would you rely on family. I've seen people with good jobs. Nice lifestyles, cars, clothes, holidays you name it. Then due to illness or ill health they lost this. They receive there weekly payment off the government and they don't have the lifestyle they once had. They loose touch with friends simply because they can't afford it anymore. They aren't overly happy in there lives and if they could go back they'd do anything possibly but they can't of course they are people who milk the system and this can be dealt with but some people do need the support.
Jasiah Hot Talker wrote: » When the pain gets too much I adjust medication. I’m currently on a med that is causing my hair to come out but I can close my hands, and stand on my feet. When I left my job to take care of my dying father, I didn’t apply for social welfare. If the time ever comes that I absolutely have to, I won’t feel bad about it because the government have taken enough money off me in the way of prsi, usc, income tax, and inheritance tax. But I intend on working for as long as I possibly can, and if I’m ever in a situation that I can’t, I hope my business is doing well enough that it can take care of me.
freshpopcorn wrote: » That's good to know. Now I never deny that people milk the system. It drives me mad. Most people I know who had good jobs that end up on illness benefit/disability. Tried medication, every type of alternative therapy possible but they came a time and they simply weren't up to work and if they did make it in others were doing there work for them. Now there are times when people can change jobs but this isn't always possible. In a few years tough how would you feel if you were on some kind of social welfare payment and you were constantly being told get up the pain can't be that bad? I'm able to manage with pain why can't you. By the way sorry if you think I'm having ago at you.

I fully support genuinely sick and disabled people receiving state support, better quality of life, easier access to treatment. My initial consultation with my consultant was 200 I think, 100 if you need injections, and 150 for your check ups. I had my app within weeks. I’m aware there’s people who can’t do that and they’re left for months waiting when they cannot wait. That’s not right or fair. You’ve the likes of Margaret cash and 98% of the rest of the travellers, and a string of single mothers who think it’s the states responsibility to feed and clothe and house them and their children, you’ve the workshy wasters hiding behind a guise of “disability” but it doesn’t stop them living their live to it’s full potential in every other area except work. You have the long term dolers who assume the government owe them a living, and they’re all taking from the actual needy, the people who cannot help themselves. I read some spending diary of an elderly man just tonight who “treated” himself to a pate from lidl for 79 cent. It’s people like Him, the elderly and the disabled and the sick that we should be looking after. Not workshy wasters like mgt €€€

I may not be able for my actual hands on job, but could I work part time doing admin work? Answering phones?

I envy anyone capable of work and I strive to find a job I can do with the bull**** I’m dealt re headaches, depression etc. But every time I’ve applied for a job and sat an interview I get a rejection and then feel more depressed :pac:
