Believe me, people with disabilities are just as concerned about benefit fraud as anyone else. Money spent on those who are not in need is money that isn't being spent on vital services to support us in the community.
My disability exists not because I use a wheelchair, but because the broader environment isn't accessible.
Let me make this clear: my impairment is such that without a wheelchair, I can't do very much for myself. I can't get out of bed. I can't get myself to the toilet. I certainly can't get myself to work.
Personally, I like a generous side of wheelchair access with my cities.
I'm a full-time wheelchair user. And yet, given the right circumstances, I am able to work.
The purpose of our justice system is to reflect the values of our society and to punish those who violate our standards.
