Our National Insurance contributions pay for such times of ill-health, injury and joblessness, it is unjust to sanction us or refuse sickness benefit.
We don't ask for hand-outs, these are entitlements we have paid for.
We don't ask other tax payers to fund our benefits, we have already paid.
Government has to stop all sanctions and instead of assessments in sickness, pay up on sick notes from gp's, specialists.
