Not knowing your situation, how would you feel if you lost your job or were long term I'll with a terrible disease etc. I take you wouldn't claim JSA in the first instance or sickness benefit in the 2nd. Would it then be OK for us to look at you in that situation and say you were a Benefits scrounger, or would your view change then? Not everyone in benefits is a scrounger and they need the healthcare services etc more than people who have good jobs, what about pensioners who retire to Spain on very good pensions but still claim winter fuel allowance. The system is not fair I know but it's not black and white, if it were life would be easier.

Nothing wrong with people claiming benefits who are genuinely ill, im on about people who have been on jobseeking "benefits" for years which are numerous.
