I know 2 people not including me who could and probably should claim incapacity but don't. One the wife has worked full time for the last 15 years to support husband who is on oxygen. Lungs damaged by exposure to asbestos while on the job.

The other works half time apart from 6 months off for cancer treatment to supplement family income. Her partner an engineer has Dupuytren's contracture in his drawing hand. Has had several surgeries and was told he can only work part time. The company he had worked for for 12 years went bankrupt and the owner protected all the assets be giving the to his son before 12 months prior to bankruptcy was declared. So workers received no redundancy pay. Dis this family claim any benefits? No!

Oh just remembered another. An over 60 widow with severe rheumatoid and osteo arthritis was told she cannot have her blue badge reinstated, since she purchased the leased motability car provided in her benefits. This happened right after her husband died. He was her carer and often her driver when disease was so bad even the special car was difficult to manage.

I don't see very many teen mothers in various areas of Essex. I would say by and large most I see preggers and pushing prams are between 23 and 26. I presume they have working partners and in the early part of the family making. These women seem to congregate in town shopping centres, especially around Starbucks and Costa. Are you sure you are seeing teen mums GG or are you of an age that even twenty something looks like teenage?
