I am unable to walk because the stroke has affected my right side of my body, i can no longer hold a pen, my son has to shave me because i no longer have good hand to eye coordination + i get spasms in my right arm and while holding a razor its not a good idea.
Some of the posts in the past on here when i have said i have bought something new have been downright discusting because im on benefit now.

My post was not aimed at you personally. I lost my father to a stroke so i know how it is affecting you.
The benefits system is designed for those in your position, you have worked all your life and now you need that support from the benefits system. Sadly there are those in this country who think the benefits system is there pay check for life and have never worked and have no intention of ever working.
