[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 203819, member: 17713"] [b]Re: HOW CAN THEY PUT ME INTO ESA WRAG GROUP WHEN MY WIFE IS [/b] I too worked from 11 (lied and said I was 13 in thsoe days!!!) and at 45 after apying considerable taxes, NI etc had to stop work. I had gradually gone from great managerial positions with large plc companies to my own partime gardening business until I coulddn't manage this anymore. We moved house, and I had to give up my fantastic customers with my gardening, and my illnesses got worse and worse.....although I got full DLA for a year. from ESA I got nothing.....due to moving and trying to find some work, my contributions after 36 years were not enough the year before....and so I have only had my NI paid for the last 2 years at present..... If I was able to work....and yes, I do firmly believe that tif there are two indiduals who are identical EXCEPT one has diabetes type 1...then the non diabetic will be selected...I hve more reasons behind not working with my illnesses, but any benefit of any kind can be very hard for the previous hardworkers to get. I know I can sound as if I am not politically correct, but having no children, no debt, no mortgage etc and a husband that earns enough money to keep us off the breadline.....when I have worked 35+ years and paid huge taes etc does make me a little angry. I don't expect to be kept by ANY government, but I wish that the government paid as much attention to those that are genuinely in need rather than sucking up to all the media conmen etc..... [/QUOTE]
