I cannot see the point of this freeze, what about people that will be eligable for a concessionary license in the next 5 years only to be denied them because some 2 faced scumbag of a politician wants to score browie points.
I have recently qualified for incapacity benefit, after struggling for the past several years of not being able to get a job because of my Arthritis!
I have applied for a blue badge so as to obtain a concessionary license, and be able to park nearer to the supermarket when I do my shopping. I now recieve £86 per week an extra £27 which means I can now afford heating in the winter. Up to now I have had to wrap a blanket around me and cauddle a hot water bottle for warmth, because the governement see fit to pay me less than is needed for a comfortable lifestyle.
The politicians are all too ready to criticise the disabled for not working, when they are the ones who place the obstacles in our way by not forcing employers to give us work. I would love to have a nice easy job that pays around £300 per week and be able to afford a holiday and go out for a nice meal in a resaurant once in a while but the reality is no employer will give me a job when he can employ a Jam Roll (Pole) at less than the minimum wage, as they do not come under British employment legistlation.
