THIS . TLDREarth to government People without children exist . And they can struggle too . CF with debilitating disease , that hit me mid twenties , smack bang in the middle of a great , but hardworking career during which I paid thousands of pounds of tax to the government . I didn ' t choose to become ill . They chose to have children . But those children just like me when I was young , didn ' t choose to be born into a bad situation . I don ' t want children to live in poverty , and too often the money given isn ' t spent on the child ' s welfare . The benefits system is disgusting . I have a team of hospital Professors , across multiple specialties in charge of my care . I take prescribed Morphine everyday for pain . I ' m still in pain . I will have to live with this level of pain everyday for the rest of my life . Did you know , that pain can actually cause you to wake yourself up from screaming ? The DWP told me that i was 100 % fit to work . Had to fight for a year to finally get a tribunal to overturn the DWPs decision . It would be nice if the government could treat all of those who are in need a bit better . I ask for the financial support to live my life in dignity with a little happiness . A bitter part of me thinks Well , I ' m not out there purposefully collecting disabilities like Pokemon . and yet there are people who keep having children , despite not being able to afford them ! Sorry for rant . It ' s just like the time that politician came round and told me all the good his party was doing for my children . Grrr .
