What you have to say about Incapacity benefit, during the 80's and 90's I had occasion to visit many unemployment benefit offices. It wasn't unusual for the benefit officer to quietly ask if your doctor would be willing to sign you onto the sick, then you could avoid the quiet indignity of the fortnightly questionaire from a spotty sixteen year old who appeared to have aquired his on the job training from the hitler youth. In fact  became a standing joke amongst the local layabouts that there must be a standing policy to reduce the figures by getting us off their books and onto the books of the department of health. now this would have been  late eighties/early nineties, can't be more precise than that because I never took them up on the kind offer.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
