I use to work for London Underground and had a accident got medical retirement getting a pension equal to my salary minus shift allowance got paid out from the insurance, bought my house cash got no mortgage. Now I've disclosed all this info to the DWP but was told it makes no difference to my entitilement I still get DLA, incapacity benefit and some other benefits can't remember what they are. Four month ago I get a letter from a company called Warm Front telling me that they were going to visit me, the woman turned up had a look round my house and told me they will insulate my loft and cavity the front and side wall (semi detatched). I said how much will it cost me, she said it will only cost me if the value of the work exceeds £2700as I qualify for the grant. The work has been done and I got a letter with a range of grants that I could apply for, now thats £2700 per year (no rollover) I could have double glazing, new boiler just to name a few things on that list also they keep sending me these energy saver bulbs I got enough to open a shop!!
I bought a brand new 330 coupe and a hyundai s3 coupe for my wife and my neighbours don't seem botherd at all. I'm a "healthy looking" 35 year old whos home all day, good job I don't live next to some of you guys as you would bug my house!!!
Some freinds have called me a lucky bastard and my reply is always the same let me run you over and go through 42 operations have a cabinet full of all sorts of pain killers can't run, can't walk too far my fcuking leg looks like a A-Z so I can't wear shorts my back looks like I got a X like the X factor on it plus other things that I rather not say.
My neighbours know nothing about my disability but I don't sence any jelousy from them.
So to the op look up some of the benefits that disabled people are entitled to and remember not all disabilities are visible like me your neighbour could be wishing that he had good health and could work.
