Listening to Radio 4 this morning, the subject was PIP.
Disability benefits cost could rocket, report says - BBC News
Apparently, about 3.3 millions claim disability benefits. About half of them do so because of mental health. The long NHS waiting list is expected to add another million claimants in as little time as next 3 years.
This is extraordinary.
Is it because of what we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink or because carers' allowance and PIP are paid independently of state pension and pension credit?
It's a complete package for population failure.
They eat very unhealthy overprocessed and "fast"foods, promoting obesity and related diseases
They breathe heavily polluted air.
They seriously lack sufficient exercise.
The state mollycoddles them with excessive provisions, leading them to think the world owes them a living.
"Experts" and the state obsess about mental and physical health issues, convincing them that they too suffer from them, making handy excuses to avoid work and the exercise they need.
Also the last above does lead to actual mental health issues, resulting in recourse to unnecessary medications, excessive alcohol consumption and taking illegal drugs to help them "cope".
And as if all that combination weren't enough, even those who intend to avoid all of the above often make themselves ill in the opposite way, by ridiculous fads which themselves have the potential to create ill heath. I'm speaking of ill-informed vegetarianism and veganism which seriously risk deficits of essential nutrients, of obsessions with so called Wonder Foods eaten to excess, of ridiculous diets.
