The only one I have an issue with is exhibitionists.

Pedophiles and kleptomaniacs have a proven biological issue – their issues are (as I understand it) essentially chemical and not easily controllable.

I have never read any evidence that says that exhibitionism is a similar type of disease.

Three guesses as to what I think. No wonder they are going to single-handedly sink the Euro and fracture the EU

It is for medical assessment and not for benefit entitlement.

@bk – great headline in that newspaper: No Cash for Flashers

No matter what their reason was for including these individuals, it is not a good idea. The inclusion of these individuals will lessen the impact of people who have actual disabilities & this will create negative reactions when people say they are disabled.

Greece once again proves that the genius of ages gone by has died a natural death.

I agree with The National Confederation of Disabled People.

I have no issue with that. I do have issues with the Disability Groups who are just complaining because they fear they would get less money now.

I’m incapable of sympathy for those newly classified – or for the original victims on the list.

Wait… “I’m incapable of sympathy” ... that should be a disability classification, shouldn’t it? Well, shouldn’t it? Put me on the list!

When should I expect my first check? Can I get a lump sum payout?

Shouldn’t the exhibitionists be forced to show their disability?

If they do, it will be the perfect place for Berlusconi to retire.
