I spent 6 months in Strangeways in 2007 whilst claiming long term incapacity benefit,i came out to just over £2,600,a 2 week holiday is a drop in the ocean
How is this relevant to the discussion? You were not on holiday or out of the country?

Why did you go to prison....benefit fraud ?
Find it hard to believe that the courts don't liaise with the DWP.

I am absolutely not surprised by that at all.

On the otherhand, you have people like me on the lowest disability money when i can work, but just in pain. I'd be rather pissed off knowing my problem is not allowing me to have a break in the sun.

So what? The doctor gives me a note that gets me sickness money, everyone is at it, so why not me? I have three kids, one (my youngest) has attention difficulties. I get housing benefit and council tax benefit, and with other money coming in, i live a good quality of life. You are just jealous because you aren't doing it, don't say you wouldn't as you all fucking would. I look after my kids 24/7 isn't that a job too.? If the social cut my money i'd suppose i'd get something part time or something. As for my holiday, don't i deserve a break too? I don't smoke so save up a little each week towards it.
I have summarised, as i can't be arsed typing it all. She has a really whiny voice in reality and my head is buzzing, just listening to her wretched voice on the phone. BTW, she 'injured' her neck falling down some steps bladdered at the M.E.N arena.
OK Glen, your original question was:
"should people on benefits be allowed out the country?"
Would you have been more accurate to have typed:
"Should this whiny woman I know be allowed to go on holiday?"If you have read all the posts on the thread you will notice that there are lots of cases where people on sick benefits legitimately go on holiday.
As you have seen, the thread has moved on from just people on the sick to the weekly "Everybody out of work is a lazy slacker who should be castrated"
