I have a friend,well he plays pool with a group of us,and the week he finished school he signed on the dole
When they threatened to cut his dole payments cos he didnt even look for a job in the proceeding 8years he went to the doctor(with his free medical card) told doc he is depressed,so now he's on disability so they cant cut his social welfare payments
A fuckin 26yr old guy acting like this,and the country is full of them 
My mum used to work the tribunals in Belfast. She sat on a panel that assessed whether someone needed the dole. People came in pleading disability, then she was presented with like undercover videos of the same people carrying heavy building materials into the back of a van. From another doctor, I have also heard of someone leaving their surgery because they had no luck with the dole there in order to join another and try their luck there! Needless to say, NI is a small country and seeing as only one university here produces doctors, these characters become known very quickly.
A friend of mine was in a bar a few months ago. Some dude came in BOASTING about how he had taken laxatives before he went to the dole office and shat himself in the queue to prove he was mentally incompetent. These people have no dignity. They put more effort into not working than they would have to if they worked. I feel sorry for the people with a genuine case.
Now I'm studying medicine I'm even being taught how to examine someone to spot and provoke the very subtle signs to look for when they are faking a disability.
