This has been on my mind for ages....

Why is my sister so mean to me?! I told her that my ESA decision got overturned after months of stress, and what does she say? "you know that's my tax money paying for that." What?! What a weird/unnecessery/mean thing to say about my good news!

Tara, I have been paying tax nearly 30 years!( I feel a lot older!!). It is good to hear that someone worthy is getting help! All the best.

i'm afraid that it's very easy for people to fall into simplistic attitudes where social welfare is concerned, particularly sad for you as i imagine you would hope that someone close to you would be pleased that after a rigorous process you have been given the support you need. let's hope nothing bad happens to your sister in the future or that she is investing in a private health and insurance scheme, this government seems determined to make social welfare a thing of the past. i'm afraid that my sister seems a bit sniffy when i talk about the problems i suffer with the ms. what chance do we have of convincing strangers if those closest don't want to be supportive?
