TBF that is funny.

I don't get the obsession around them TBH. People lose their heads over them, basically a bloke who backed his wife over his family, story older than time

Like everything in this world, it’s polarised with no middle ground. People who like them defend everything they do and people who don’t castigate them for everything they do. The South Park episode ‘Worldwide Privacy Tour’ is the funniest parody I’ve seen of them in recent times. I’m kind of surprised they’ve come back here, I thought they were gone for the long haul.

It’s incredibly misleading and ignorant. As many people who receive PIP payments have explained it’s not the disability/condition in itself that qualifies a person for PIP, it’s how that disability/condition affects your day to day life. So one person with autism might not need any extra assistance whilst another might. Same with any disability or illness. And the hoops you have to go through to get anything are seemingly designed to make it difficult. I remember each of my parents applying for the PIP predecessor (can’t remember now what it was called) and they had to complete reams of paperwork before even being assessed. And the assessment itself was long, intrusive and stressful. It seems to be the same now with PIP.

She’s obviously watched Rain Man too many times and thinks everyone with autism is some kind of “savant”.

Talking of benefits. I could apply for carers allowance which is £86 a week taxable. I do not know how it is possible to manage on that.

Now having had to give up work this week I note that HMRC effectively owe me overpaid tax assuming i do not work this TY to the tune of £5k but I will not get that back until next October.

The whole system is fudging deranged.
