Family 'Too Fat to Work' Collects Annual $30,000 Disability

[mercurial]

A British family of four, who receives more than $30,000 a year in benefits because they are “too fat to work,” says they deserve more money, London’s Daily Telegraph reported.

The Chawners, who live in Blackburn, England, have a combined weight of 1,160 pounds.

“What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table,” Philip Chawner, 53, told the newspaper. “It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.”

Philip and his wife Audrey, 57, weigh 336 pounds each. Daughters Emma, 19, and Samantha, 21, weigh in at 236 pounds and 252 pounds, respectively.

Audrey Chawner, who has epilepsy and asthma as a result of being overweight, told “Closer” magazine her family’s weight is genetic and they cannot afford to eat healthier.

Philip Chawner has Type 2 diabetes and was eligible for gastric band surgery until he developed a heart condition.

“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise,” Emma Chawner said. “We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse in the street, but we don’t know how.”

LOL!

Unfortunately this is becoming more common in British society because of the welfare benefits system. Do they know anything besides McDonalds? They should also exercise with all their free time they have.

thats bs!
i've seen plenty of people who're just as fat who work.

“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise,” Emma Chawner said. “We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse in the street, but we don’t know how.”

walk more, eat less. no cake for fatty!

"We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner," Mrs Chawner told Closer magazine.

ffs. its not a hereditary condition, it's pure stupidity.
how the hell do you get cash for being fat anyway? how bloody stupid must the admin guys be?

OMG what lame excuses!

"We can't afford to eat healthier" Orly? That short little Dr with her own TV show "You are what you eat" proved that to not be true. In fact you'll save money eating healthier.

All the conditions listed is because of being overweight!

"I'm a student I don't have time to exersize" - **** me with a 10inch dildo and call me yo-sammity-sam.... since when do students do anything but party or have half days to go spend whatever they ****ing want to do? Get to class at 11am, quitting time at 3pm... study? **** that is what paying attention in class and weekends are for?

not enough time my ass...

"It's not our fault" <-- YES IT IS YOU DUMB ****S

Obesity is NOT genetic nor is it a ****ing disease. It's not contagious so can't be classified as one AFAIK. So what the ****?

I know I'm just too lazy to do anything about my weight but **** me these guys who make all these stupid excuses to justify why they get paid for doing ****all AND "deserve" more.

What kind of function do you have in society and your community in general? NOTHING

Hell, even in the USA you can WORK FROM HOME if you're classed as too obese for work. Telemarketing? Hell...

Boils my blood
