If people stop "breeding", as you delightfully put it, how many businesses go bust?

you've missed my point entirely. there's clearly more than enough as shown with the surge for school places so why should there still be an incentive/benefit given to breeders to keep doing it? That was why it was started after all.

 

GP's concurring with parents that their child is hyperactive, prescribing them Ritalin for which parents get an extra £60 per child per week.  .

 

If that is 100% correct then thats fucking diabolical.

Wouldn't be the first time

First I've heard of it.

Ritalin is generally considered last resort.

 

Jnr is on Melatonin instead

It is. The other half works at a school where some of the kids are permanently zonked out as a consequence of this. Not in Bolton I hasten to add.

i dunno if nb is right about the shortage of school places

 

in my area, itll be because our far sighted council shut a couple not 10 years vago

I don't know how widespread the practice is beyond that particular school but in my book it comes within the remit of clinical malpractice and child abuse.

well the riviera wont have a problem as theyre building another one for all the new houses arent they?

It is. The other half works at a school where some of the kids are permanently zonked out as a consequence of this. Not in Bolton I hasten to add.  

 

So the parents get £60 per week per kid as well as the free prescription for the Ritalin?

 

Just curious as there are many genuine cases were it should be administered but then there are also many where little

Johnny wont behave simply because his body is stuffed full of e numbers from his diet of ready meals, pizza, crisps, sweets, chocolate, cola and microchips.

yes and the parents will be getting child benefit.

is that true about the 60 notes for having a kid on Ritalin?

 

Can't find any info on that anywhere

So I'm told. Parents get enhanced benefits if their child is diagnosed hyper and prescribed Ritalin to manage said hyperactivity. I'll check again when she gets back later this afternoon.

I'm guessing here, based on my own personal experiences, but perhaps the child officially has ADHD and that money is the DLA money and not for having a certain medication?

You may be right but I was told that the benefit was incumbent on the child being prescribed Ritalin and that several parents had exploited this. The result being that the kids were nearly comatose in class. I recollect being amazed when I heard it, but i,ll recheck this later.

People get paid for having kids with ADHD?

 

Shit me.

 

Fair enough for those with severe issues who require constant care and attention, what about those who just need a slap, a break from the E numbers, or perhaps a stable home environment and who are showing signs of ADHD but in actual fact they're just a little cunt?

They are likely to get a car and carer's allowance too.

Do they have to undergo properly conducted medical examination or will a doctors note to Waynetta suffice?

What sort of cut do the car showrooms get from these motobility schemes? My mother went to a garage a little while ago & walked out as they weren't interested but she noted they were keeping the couple getting one on motobility happy enough. I told her it was her own fault fif looking at a Ford but still.
