There may be people out there in wheelchairs that earn a good salary.

Just because you're disabled does not exclude you from having career or earning a good living, to think that is actually quite patronising.

You might have someone in a wheel chair quite capable, able, willing and eager to work. That doesn't need any benefit or aid.

Or you may have someone with all limbs intact, that has arthritis, and has good days and bad days. Sometimes can get around, sometimes can't get out the house.

None, of the above doesn't mean that trying to ascertain the need out there and only pay for those that require it, is some kind of evil thing.

Get real, if you think you qualify to receive benefit, for any reason, Then expect to be assessed as to whether you need it.

Now stop whinging.
