I have put this in here because it may get a bit heated
Should drug abusers and alcoholics be allowed to claim disability benefits? I read somewhere that they can claim disability benefits for their self inflicted abuse. So I decided it may make a good poll topic should those who abuse drugs and alcohol be allowed to claim disability benefits?

yes, everybody is entitled to help and treatment along with benefits. More resources should be put in place for the rehab of those that are addicted to these scrourges in our society.
Removing the disability benefit would only mean thay get another benefit doesn't really matter what the benefits called, the cure is in the treatment of the problem not the withdrawal of money.
Dink/drug awareness, at a young age, tougher sentences on drug dealers, and who is the alchol dealer?, the Govt who get much loved tax from those that buy drink same as tobacco. Tax it to the roof like Norway? |
