As a retired social worker, I don't think the system is being abused and I think everybody
00:04
has the right sorts of social care and benefits.
00:07
A lot of people exist, right, in this country who have disabilities and they need to be
00:11
supported and they deserve to be supported, of course. I think that people take advantage
00:17
of it, for sure, and you can see it as like a microcosm in university, where it's people
00:23
who have dyslexia or ADHD, they need extra time, they need to work on a laptop, right,
00:28
and people are like, oh, well, I don't have dyslexia or ADHD or anything like that, but
00:33
like, I'm going to apply for it anyways, because it's like, if one person can have it, then
00:37
I should be able to, too, you know, and that's like wrong, do you know what I mean? People
00:42
need like help, because they need help. You shouldn't abuse those systems, especially
00:47
when those systems are in place to help people. It just feels like an abuse of a system, do
00:52
you know what I mean?
00:54
I think if something could be started to stop that, which I don't think it can be.
