https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ent... f=uk-homepage Surely "disabled" cyclists, like anyone else claiming and receiving money out of other peoples' pockets in the form of benefits, should only fear being seen riding a bicycle *if* they have represented to the DWP that they are not capable of pedalling the bike? They - like anyone esle making such claim - ought to make it explicitly clear, as part of the declarations surrounding that claim, that cycling is something they can do despite the disability and that they do in fact ride a bicycle. They should not (a) claim that they cannot ride a bike if they can or (b) leave the subject unaddressed if they have reservations about being seen on the bike. The truth will set them free. Lying on a benefit claim is always a problem, as it bloomin' well ought to be. |
