I'm 31, mechanic and I've never had a sick note .
People are taking advantage of the recognition of mental health issues. He's absolutely right it's the new bad back, meaning difficult to prove a fraudulent claim. They need weekly assessments and if proven a fraudster the benefits should stop with immediate effect
Don’t know what he’s on about I get £360 a month for mental health (I have severe OCD not a snowflake) before this I got £74 a week. Even a part time job would make me better off, which I aim to do asap.
I’ve had three jobs in 3 years because my mental illness keeps making me fail. I’ve been on a waiting list to see a therapist for ONE YEAR. In the meantime, I’m pumped full of 4 different medications that make me fat and tired and do little or nothing positive. Don’t forget the thousands of genuine cases like mine. I hope to start part time work again this year and my eventual goal is full time possibly the civil service.
Quite frankly I'm sick of paying for everyone else full stop regardless of why I'm paying. I don't even know why people are getting universal credit for nursery, you chose to have kids, you pay for them. Why should I pay for other people's children. There are animals that skip a breeding season if conditions don't permit, are you telling me people aren't as smart as animals, anyone heard of contraception
I'm not signed off, no one will give me a job as I'm classed a danger to the public due to schizophrenic illness 😂
This is all NOISE The WEF and Soros is paying our Government to allow migrants from France and the British are paying the French and the French are paid twice. Wake up people. So when you look deep why work to keep the rich where they are.
It's those pathetic idiots who make it a nightmare for people like my mum, who has a spinal injury from being a hit & run & left needing morphine every day just to cope with the pain & not being able to walk more than a few meters without great discomfort. But come to the last 6 months or so of her PIP & ESA, she's forced to go through the ordeal of assessments who always say she's fit for work. Then she has to spend the next 9 months living on nothing for a appeals judge tells her she's entitled to the full rate & backdates it. And she's had this circle of events for the last 16 yrs & nothing changes.
But, these people claim mental health so they don't have to work should be forced to work no benefits because they're just faking it for an easier life at the expense of others.
How many of those millions on Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, have arrived to this country illegally without having paid a penny into the system? 🤔 At a cost of £8 million a day for just the new arrivals, that's £2,920,000,000 per year! But the government doesn't seem the least concerned about THAT!!!
Anyone can claim benefits for mental health and it’s extra on top of work if you can work. Esa is around £400 a month and alcoholics claim it. Claim it yourself- no harm done. If it’s what your entitled to.
She needs to let him finish his sentence and stop shouting over him
“ anxiety” is the new “ bad back” . A lot harder to prove untrue by Gp’s.
He’s right about reducing the tax!!!! Make it happen ffs
Sorry Ben….the majority of these people are lazy bastards who have no intention of working!
I think that going from education to being employed is tough, employers make it very tough to work, I have been in many jobs where abuse from colleagues makes it hard to work and it results in termination of employment.
Its all about the passive income or 'side hustle' for this internet generations now
Wouldn't surprise me if they're claiming and then getting some sort of top-up from TikTok or some other social media crap, they all want to be social media stars these days
Perhaps, life getting harder and the hopes of getting on/home ownership dwindling give little hope for the youth of today.
The social contract is dead/paused, older generations have a responsibility to understand this.
make NHS means tested and scrap NI Tax for a start.
Good luck with that I haven't seen many employers looking to recruit people with mental health issues. Typical of the government expecting employers to be social workers and health care professionals.
I had a neighbour who said she suffered from agoraphobia for most of her – what should have been working life. As soon as she reached jer retirement age she was away on holiday, working as a volunteer in charity shops and at the local hospital. On top of this, she's a nasty gossiping piece of work.
What a bunch of idiots! Not even the editor of this video can get facts right! The youngest millennial would be 28 now. You are actually talking about Gen Z. Should really be renamed Gen E (E for entitlement).
Thank the COVID bs
What about someone with chronic schizophrenia
benefits office are near useless though tbh
Whats to blame she says 😂 look at the state of our country 🤔 no wonder everyone is depressed work and still skint! Build more affordable housing for the workers stop immigration will help greatly
Yep to give them Mobility cars for next to nothing is disgusting. Genuine physical disabled and strable polsy cases if course but they are handing out 35k brand new cars to people who clearly don't need them.
People are not going to want to work when they are immigrants sat at home doing nothing getting everything People are like if you can't beat them join unless you like the work your doing then People will work
Nothing wrong with this: Wages are low and costs are high, so why work your finger to the bone to pay high rents and taxes when you can claim money and have no worries. Fair play to anyone playing the system 👏
Can do will the cost of living you work all the hours god sends on a ok wage and still can’t afford a house
I don't work because I'm Broke. 😂😂😂
Fake news, there is loads of money in the pot, look how they willingly dish it out to the new arrivals.
lazy sods is more like it. cut off the welfare and it wont be long before they start to work
Theres just not enough good quality jobs out there now
Good thing about this is that as a millennial that works, it puts me ahead of 80% of peers straight away
