It’s insane. I know people who claim as to work they would lose money. System is broken
Almost 8% of the working population of Scotland…
I wonder how many of them truly can’t work and how many are just taking the piss.
Politicians: “Look at how much the sick and disabled cost us, let’s force them back into work”
Normal Human: “Do you think we should treat their problems first so that they’re actually able to work?”
Politicians: “Oh, do you really think so? I suppose if we must…”
What the fuck is wrong with politicians. Why are their brains so broken? Why must they be brow beaten into doing the right thing every single time.
Cap in hand to the hard working pensioners again no doubt.
If we actually made it easier to allow long-term sick or disabled folk to actually engage with work, even part-time, that number would go down.
More remote work, more flexibility for flare-up days, more part-time positions, better access to suitable transport options (especially in rural areas), management trained on how to actually listen and support disabled staff, stronger trade unions, a social security system staffed by actual humans with empathy rather than making the entire process as humiliating and cruel as reasonably possible knowing that disabled people are often unable to fight back…
Instead the majority of politicians simply think they’re not being kicked enough and by simply taking away the few scraps of financial support it will “motivate” disabled people into just.. not becoming disabled? Somehow despite the increased costs of living while disabled, let alone actually thriving or engaging with community, we seem to immediately jump to “punish them more, they’ve had it too good for too long”.
Far easier to listen to “well my mate reckons the entire scheme just has to say I’m A Bit Sad and they’re given a free 5-bedroom house, Mercedes, and free blowjobs on tap”.
Nearly every single person reading this comment will become disabled one day, it’s only a matter of time.
If the NHS was adequately equipped to deal with things from a preventative aspect to maybe limit the number of things that end up becoming long term sick or disability, this would certainly help. Especially looking at provisions for mental health, the wait lists are in the *years*. This is unacceptable.
5% seems pretty good for a deindustrialised population stripped of industry and jobs in general. And the health issue we have. 5% is banging to be fair
We’re talking what, 8ish percent of the population in employable age bracket? Mashing that X button over here.
Yeah, it’d be great if we could take pressure off the NHS, give them support so they in turn could make our disabilities more manageable so we could get back out there
