Thats great if you can do it xaccers not everyone can and as for training being all you need to better yourself that doesn't always work either.

Before finally giving into the pressure from the jobcentre to go on incap whenever i didn't get a job i applied for i would phone and ask if there was a specific reason or area that had counted against me. I was told that IT quali's were not the best thing for office work and that i should get a business quali preferably an nvq level 2 for basic office work.

I pushed and got on a training scheme and duly passed my level 2 i still didn't get any firther in the search of a job so again i asked to be told i needed to get realistically an nvq level 3 or above for BASIC office work. Again i went off and got my level 3 all this training meant a day for me of 06.30 - 18.30 and put me in a lot of pain to the point of being completely useless to may family 90% percent of the time but i (being selfish) thought it worth it if i got that magic job.

After having level 3 i again went out looking for a job and this time found the main reason (after some assurance i wouldn't repeat it officially) no one would give me a job they all looked at me and as my medical problem is visual felt i wouldn't last in any job. Reality is i am not alone there are many thousands like me out there and no matter what we do no matter how hard we try and no matter how much we perservere we are not going to get anywhere not because we can't but because others decide for us we can't.

When you have been in that situation then i will fully accept your arguments against benefits and while i accept the vast majority of benefit claimants don't have my or similar problems by the time people get their witchhunt it won't matter as no one will be looking or caring who gets dumped on as long as they are a benefit claimant and therefore an automatic drain on society.
