it may be not be the case anymore, my brother used to brag about it, he's abit like lou, minus the class A's, but never worked and addictions, lies, abused but pleaded victim, so really, it could have just bullshit, he used the whole "I get cash and don't need to work" as a badge of honur and would have a 'breakdown' the second the Dr would say he was fit for work and refuse to sign him off.I've never heard of that before, surely not, a pet is your choice why would they pay
