Thank you for the link. I'm having difficulty accessing the benefits system and have been living off savings all year. The video did worry me a bit because I've already been through some struggles this year with authorities and don't relish having to faff around with these people.

That's a very good video. I feel that we are written off too often.

Great video! We are written off too often, and in the US where it's technically illegal to discriminate against people with disabilities when it comes to employment, people make up other excuses not to hire us so they don't get sued for discrimination. Also, it's extremely difficult to get SSI as it often takes one or more appeals to get it. It's especially bad in this recession, when we're competing against NT's who have been laid off.

Write me on topic

How beneficial a society is can be measured by how well the neediest members are treated.
