Re: Tabaluga's
I don't quite understand what you mean @TAB except I do know this: you can be as sick as a dog and they won't process disability pension applications easily.
Heard in the UK recently they were going into psych wards and trying to wean people off their benefits to go look for work. They don't understand how vulnerable these people are or the extent of suffering in such an acute state. Nor do they understand powerful meds can be. Thats politicians for you. They have to find other ways to reduce reliance on welfare like going after malingerers
Anyway years ago when I could work, I did. I was on casual wages. I was finally deemed by a disability employment agency to be an employment risk.
