OR a refugee or a Romanian, Pole, Black or anything but born and worked ALL my life in the UK paying taxes, Fighting wars getting injured whilst in the employ of HM whilst serving in the Royal Navy for 14 years, so that I can no longer walk properly (Make that at ALL really!) Tell me WHY is it the bloody asylum seekers can get ALL they want and me who has worked since 15 and sent 14 years in the RN can get FECK ALL?? And I do mean NOTHING!! No Rent or Taxes (Council) No Mobility (Now cannot walk more than a couple of feet with NO pain!) Keep **** myself because of damaged nerves in my spine. And the wife?? She is worse in the effect she has M.E. without the serious side, called something that gives pain ALL the time and just makes you wanna sleep! (Fibromyalgia!) Possibly the Pain Killers, so called why?? Don't kill pain anyway!! We have just come back from 7 years in France, I liked France even though we got nothing from the French except sh1t. We at least COULD just about afford to live there. But we paid 75k (Euros) for the house. I have spent I reckon around 30k on it?? And it is now worth conservatavely around 10k less than when we bought it!! BIG was 3 bed and now possibilty of 5 beds! Four of which will be en-suite. And plans for the fifth as well. As I say a BIG detatched house with 4 to 6 foot walls. A say one bed Gite and a double garage shed type thing. Two other garages come sheds one attached to the Gite and one to rest of sheds etc, and one bone dry small shed with a cobbled froor. Private drive the ONLY way into the property with a Video entrance cover. LARGE top of the range Willy Balls Kitchen in Oak and ALL mod con's. W/M's and dryer OUTSIDE in the Cave/cellar. LARGE decked area, new windows to one side in the front (Used to be a shop) Rest of windows down to taste (They do want replacing) At a cost I reckon of around 1000 euros if you use the shop we used in Nantes!! We did a plate glass window the Insurance company wanted to replace at a cost of 2,300 euros for I think it was 800?? NO contest, local bloke a GGOD friend of hours took one day total (Two half days as he had to build a dwarf wall first) And then fit the four windows we bought at 115 euros each and we paid him (Well he WANTED 200 Euros) I am pretty sure we gave hime 250 as his son helped, but he said MORE tobacco for me then! So I don't really know what he was on about! But anyway, Back to the story, yes we applied for rent Rebate (As having to rent 2 up one down terrace...........Sorry broke off to listen to neighbours raging against the whatsit! (Arguing with each other.) Costs us 450 a month. Council tax, in France as I am a WAR PENSIONER and am assessed at 40% for now! It is good enough to get a FULL rebate of ALL taxes there. BUT in GOOD OLD UK/England where I got the injuries if you like? Whilst serving in the RN what started as problems with the old knees became Osteo-arthritis and now is Rheumatoid Arthritis. And believe me when I say it hurts it BLOODY hurts sometimes. A bit like having a couple of footballs sewn into your knees!! Oh yes I cannot get Carers allowance that was DSS's call, I SAID I would not qualify and he said TRY anyway. two sets of SAME formt for under 16's and over 65's I eventually get a form for the under 65's but reading the front page you KNOW you do not qualify!! And surely enough I get back TWO letters EXACTLY the same saying I do NOT qualify!!! HOW MUCH DOES ALL THAT SH1T COST EH???? Bloody Pathetic. I cannot qualify for anything but the stupid pathetic gits who run the show can waste that money on me and HOW many others?? I DID submit IN TIME a docket for DLA at highest rate AND mobility. They LOST IT! And so another was despatched, TOO bloody late to claim? AGAIN what's all that about?? And so I am "INVITED" to submit a claim for PIP!!! And guess what?? Well guess first time and guess SH1T and NO I cannot claim that!! BUT they sent me a form anyway.Guess what it is the same as? But a BIT better phrased Questions I think?? And again guess SH1T first time!! DLA, that's right!! I flicked through it as I did with the DLA and apart from being able to read and work out what signs mean and one other I forget now what it is, breath I think!! All the rest I am either top rate or middle rate and I score I think twenty on paper. 12 is enough for higher rate? BUT I don't even qualify to fill the bloody thing in????? So WHY send it in the first place?? By the wayI asked for this on the 14th of december after getting back on the 12th to the UK! I also got myself a form to fill in for my Bank deatails first?? CLASSIC EH!! The word from the teamleader was so they COULD pay the money in quicker IF I was awarded the PIP?? THEN they decide IF I can fill the forms in (Qualify) BUT send out the forms first!! And then IF you qualify on paper you attend a center to be checked over by a Doctor? THEN and ONLY then if you pass they use the answers from the first paper to pay you. The first paper which I have used my Mums account for as I don't HAVE my own account. For which I will anyway have to submit a new paper to get paid into MY account which will cause MORE delays as the account is NOT in my name so they will have to investigate the claim ALL the way through again....YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP could you???? WELCOME to the UK?? The what?? Which Country??? THE UK!!! But there's NOT there is NO such country? It does not exist?? There is England, Scotland, Ireland Northern, Sorry Northern Ireland and Wales, this is Great Britain plus a few other ??Principalities?? BUT the UK is NOT a country so WHY do you insist on calling it as such?? RUSSIA is a country, Egypt is a COUNTRY. even ISRAEL is a COUNTRY, so is England!! But UK is NOT! My haven't things changed somewhat!! And sad as I am to admit it I think I MAY find myself BACK in France again. In France they DO call you a Knobhead. BUT they don't try to HIDE IT!!!
