I too worked 60 hours a week as a registered nurse! I always had weird stiff necks as a teen, in my 20’s I got widespread pain, 30’s an on up until ages 42 when I collapsed at work and was finally diagnosed with FMS or fibromyalgia and arthritis. I couldn’t remember things and the pain at times was unbearable. Don’t judge a book by a cover! Please! This poor woman is obviously very sick as well!
This is what happens when you invest in wars, and implement conservative govt. many voters don’t know truly disabled ppl except maybe their elderly parents. Exposure creates re-assessment of these allocations.
This is a cruel & spitefully inefficient system. I thought this was designed to give desperate, vulnerable, & disabled people a life line so they can find solace? As far as I can see, the system designed to help them, is the very thing crippling them so unequivocally that it drives them to suicide. And the fact that Universal Credit is going to be *Online Only* further takes away the personal support these people need. No wonder the homeless population has just exploded.
Oh look! It's the Daily Mail! Still using the old "Sitting on their arses watching Jeremy Kyle" cliché? Damn I thought people heard the last of that old chestnut 10 years ago!! £12BILLION is wasted on Tax Avoidance from Real Wealthy elite; mostly politicians, who are selling more (apparently illegal) Medicinal Cannabis than any other country in the world. Yet no one has a valid prescription in the UK. They are selling off our assets, our NHS, Royal Mail, 7th Bridge, Dartford tunnel, Forests, Property, they have cut funds to practically every public service & yet keep wages down, prices up, & spend 4 months on lavishing holidays with £3,000 bottles of wine, whilst away from their 3 private abodes for doing exactly what? But you show yourself up by picking on disabled self-loathing people for sitting in doors, living in pain every day, watching a tv & using a cell phone? Yup! Definitely the Daily Fail LOL!
@RoadKillzine I live in Australia. How are they just being "swept along" when it looks like the government has an assessment office for disability support claimants that is, of all the ridiculous things in the world, wheelchair inaccessible to disabled people? They'd never ever, ever get away with this here. All welfare offices must be wheelchair accessible by law, and as a result all of them are wheelchair accessible. It sounds like blatant discrimination to me. It sounds like your government is actively blocking disabled people from getting the benefits they need to survive, not just sweeping them along. I don't know about the UK, but if this happened in Australia there'd be a public uproar. All the media would be all over it shaming the government and that woman would have her disability pension appoved before you could blink.
Mental health issue and depression with the disease make the patient unable to handle things herself. They need a better system, which they actively try to get people to the right places.
My father has had similar issues with DWP particularly the pips assessment, in his case thankfully he won the tribunal. Is anyone aware of what has happened to this woman since?
I have FND and had to hand my license in for an ID card just the other day. My seizures are bad as are my memory and I have delayed reaction. So if something happens I’m slower to react and too dangerous to drive. It’s made me so depressed.
You know another crazy fact is that when the Nazis were bombing the British they bombed all the poor neighborhoods. All the rich people and there estates and castles barely got a scratch. And people from the royal family were married to high ranking Nazis. And the queen funded the Nazis the rich from around the works did but they don't talk about that when they talk about history. In every war it is always the poor who suffer and die. When everyone was on rations the rich had lavish party's and feast while people were starving in the streets. War is a form of population control just like neglecting to take care Of ur citizens is a form of population control. People need to wake up
so its sad isn't it , we had in the Labour manifesto a massive work proposal to provide accessibility throughout the uk , that step would have been made into a ramp this would have meant workers hired to do it and so muvch more as making the uk accessible is a massive contract , regretting things already , what a missed opportunity
protest to your local MP, find out who it is and send a letter, do a few hours research first know what to say and give them a strongly worded letter, they'll ignore it but it's the trying that matters
I tried to get a home visit for my wife but was told she as to attend an interview next week , they have no understanding or care what life is like caring for someone who finds it difficult to get around and the planning that's involved in building someone up to actually go outside that as depression/ anxiety and other illnesses. This rips me apart that fellow human beings treat others like this?
@@wands2457 As it is everywhere in the United States. It is strange that a lawyer can't help her bring a lawsuit against an agency that isn't allowing access for all citizens. Nevertheless, it seems clear that this report has left out important details that would help it all make better sense.
I have been in a position where I couldn't cross the road. I was helped across by total strangers. This is degusting how this woman was treated by dwp. Where is equal quality and diversity that they tell us about. They do all the training o. It. Homaphobic and they should be sacked for not promoting it ot demonstrating it for disabled people. Absolutely degusting on these people who refused to help her. They deserve to be sacked!!
That’s shocking how dwp treat people which is what I am worried about as I’m able bodied but have autistic spectrum when the day comes to move onto pip and have assessment how will I know if the assessor isn’t gonna try lie on the paperwork to force me benefits from me just cause I’m able bodied as not all disabilities are visible in appearance
Because of the quarantinesome people might realise how difficult being housebound and disabled actually is as they're doing the same thing apart from the fact that this person is ill
A friend of my daughter is permanently in a wheelchair due to spina bifida. Every time she goes for an assessment the DWP always send her to jobcentres with steps and the wheelchair lifts are always broken!
there's people like this who need it then there is a family up the road from me who is on there second disability car her husband works fulltime while living there she walks her dog and kids to school while claiming disability benefits and there is nothing wrong with her our benefit system is a joke
They are supposed to have disabled access to all their buildings, for their employees, let alone the claimants. For goodness sake, it just shows what idiotic numbskulls these people really are that they can not organise a simple ramp; just a wedge of wood to the height of the step with a couple of coats of decking paint, it is not rocket science.
A lot of countries simply do not have these sort of benefits BUT seeing as we have them then we should do all we can in order to make life for people who have these sort of disabilities easier.
i am myself struggling on uc just 290pounds are not enough and i am repaying 29 pounds debt already from uc clothes 200 pounds gas electricity bills 144 food bills unable to cope
Just an observation, she was in pain crossing roads at dropped kerbs but was fine bumping into the step of the assessment centre doorway to make her point she could not access the building.
shame someone cant go with her at the very least. the little gap aint much for two woman to help. at least hold the door so she can come straight on with momentum goddamn.
The benefit system is there for everyone even people in work, As anything can happen then your out of work and depend on it. It is so sad to see how DWP and the goverment treat ill health.
It's people like Jaki who will suffer from the on coming changes in the welfare system, the problem has been growinng for some time well years if i'm honest she should of been entited to the high rate and here we have many people on high rate PIP enjoying holidays and gyms and another thing the DVLA should of let her keep her drivers licence
I think it's because she didn't attend the assessment. They reassess people periodically to see if you still need the money and if you don't attend you lose the money.
I would just get 2 large books, open them over the hump before the door and use that as a ramp to enter the building. I would be getting my money one way or the other.
Am I the only one that noticed her wincing in "pain" over every little bump in the road but was perfectly fine ramming her scooter in to that step four or five times? Typical benefit cheat.
I think it's best to empower what you have not what you had. Each loss in life is actually a gain to something new and different face every challenge positively and not complaining elevates you to a higher level 😃but being negative👎 pulls you down a dark place drowning your spirit⚠
I was made to sleep on the streets for 7 months whilst foreign family after foreign family was housed, the government couldn't care less about the natives here in this country and they couldn't care less about those in need

I’m sorry you went through that Lily
Poor woman wearing sandals and no umbrella in rainy weather in a wheelchair along that traffocked road.
They physically blocked her benefits because of no access into a building. Something that should be done adequately!
FFS this is inhumane! Where is the human decency in these services?
This is what happens when you invest in wars, and implement conservative govt. many voters don’t know truly disabled ppl except maybe their elderly parents. Exposure creates re-assessment of these allocations.
What an absolute gem she is. Her courage and determination are to be admired. Sent with respect. Great personality.
Pervert
Good job on The Guardian for bringing such stories forward.

The Tories want the disabled to die off so they stop being a 'liability' on the country
Mental health issue and depression with the disease make the patient unable to handle things herself. They need a better system, which they actively try to get people to the right places.
Disgusting way to treat DISABLED people
The government doesn't care about disabled people
What a disgrace.....treating disabled people this way!
Give this woman my tax every month.... Sorted.
But how will the MP's pay for their wives pedicures??
How could this lady be refused the top benefit?
It's so obvious that in no way she is a fraudulent person.
My father has had similar issues with DWP particularly the pips assessment, in his case thankfully he won the tribunal.

Broken Britain 🇬🇧, bet the chief executive of her local
Council got a nice new shiny merc in the council car park .
S H A M E F U L L !!!! When is the march for humanity

is there any way we can help her out directly?
ibrahim abdul set up a go find me page on face book for her
protest to your local MP, find out who it is and send a letter, do a few hours research first know what to say and give them a strongly worded letter, they'll ignore it but it's the trying that matters
@ibrahimabdul You sir, are a good person for even asking this question, it just shows how kind a stranger can be. Not everyone is heartless.
Maryf 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏 bless you for caring.
M B Smith 👏👏👏 bless you for being compassionate. 🙏🙏🙏
There has to be more in this why's she not getting the help that she clearly needs.
so right, this could be any one of us in this situation,sad
Degusting. That the disabled and very sick are targeted.
I tried to get a home visit for my wife but was told she as to attend an interview next week , they have no understanding or care what life is like caring for someone who finds it difficult to get around and the planning that's involved in building someone up to actually go outside that as depression/ anxiety and other illnesses. This rips me apart that fellow human beings treat others like this?
That does not look accessible to me.
Vote conservative, this is what you get !
Are they taking a page out of the U.S.A. Book.

*Now you know my pain when you've lived through it.*
Noone chooses to be disabled!

This can happen 2 anyone.
Isometric Aquariums especially those who can't spell "to"
WTF where's the disabled access?
Poor woman 😕
That’s shocking how dwp treat people which is what I am worried about as I’m able bodied but have autistic spectrum when the day comes to move onto pip and have assessment how will I know if the assessor isn’t gonna try lie on the paperwork to force me benefits from me just cause I’m able bodied as not all disabilities are visible in appearance
She is not wearing socks or boots and it looks cold

The government make every time worse for poor people and disabled people
They are supposed to have disabled access to all their buildings, for their employees, let alone the claimants. For goodness sake, it just shows what idiotic numbskulls these people really are that they can not organise a simple ramp; just a wedge of wood to the height of the step with a couple of coats of decking paint, it is not rocket science.
No dignity or respect,don't need Dr referral, I had home visit
Someone get her an at home computer job .
A lot of countries simply do not have these sort of benefits BUT seeing as we have them then we should do all we can in order to make life for people who have these sort of disabilities easier.
Let's Do Better Now Eventually most Social Security will be abolished but agree with you that whilst we have them they should be administered fairly.
They apologized. Disgusting.
Did you get it sorted ?
Victorian treatment.
i am myself struggling on uc just 290pounds are not enough and i am repaying 29 pounds debt already from uc clothes 200 pounds gas electricity bills 144 food bills unable to cope
I now see where we Americans inherited our shitty roads and disgusting treatment of those worse off than ourselves
Why can't they fo home visuts? They used to.
Just an observation, she was in pain crossing roads at dropped kerbs but was fine bumping into the step of the assessment centre doorway to make her point she could not access the building.
ya can literally get a piece of wood to fix that... sigh
shame someone cant go with her at the very least. the little gap aint much for two woman to help. at least hold the door so she can come straight on with momentum goddamn.
If you vote tories this is what you get
How is she looking after 3 children?
They are disgusting
The benefit system is there for everyone even people in work, As anything can happen then your out of work and depend on it. It is so sad to see how DWP and the goverment treat ill health.
How is this right?
Use a ramp simple
Welcome to the future
It's people like Jaki who will suffer from the on coming changes in the welfare system, the problem has been growinng for some time well years if i'm honest she should of been entited to the high rate and here we have many people on high rate PIP enjoying holidays and gyms and another thing the DVLA should of let her keep her drivers licence
At least she's getting pip I'm getting nothing with cancer and truth I'm suffering like people I don't think understand
She doesn't look like she is wasting away. Bad situation though.
Nasty thing to say.
She can't move and her strong meds probably aid to weight gain
Shut up
This woman is disintegrating.
Very day. But I am wondering why her disability benefits were suspended?
I think it's because she didn't attend the assessment. They reassess people periodically to see if you still need the money and if you don't attend you lose the money.
Complain to your M.P.
I would just get 2 large books, open them over the hump before the door and use that as a ramp to enter the building. I would be getting my money one way or the other.
dothedeed what age childish pale and nonsense have just spidered.
Am I the only one that noticed her wincing in "pain" over every little bump in the road but was perfectly fine ramming her scooter in to that step four or five times? Typical benefit cheat.
Observant but pain can go up and down ☺
I think it's best to empower what you have not what you had.

no way is she short of food
Joke?
🇺🇲🇬🇧🕯️
she can blink shes able to work
Can you blink?
Benefit cheats
f k Trolls!
Yes, the DWP most certainly are benefit cheats, bigtime.
Had she been an Indian or Pakistani her life would be much easier.
She would then have to deal with bigots like you....Non white with disabilities are facing the same problems but amplified.
If you lived in Pakistan or India your life would be much easier.
I was made to sleep on the streets for 7 months whilst foreign family after foreign family was housed, the government couldn't care less about the natives here in this country and they couldn't care less about those in need
shes probably scaming
Mpron
It must be the Tory's fault. (Guardian excuse for everything)
They have been in power since 2010. Who else would you blame?
