in principle no. however it appears that you are labeling a genuinely disabled person as being lazy, unless I'm completely mis reading your meaning, If I am I'm sorry.
I don't think there can be any excuse for anyone with what is classed as a disability being paid anything other than the money rate that their role demands.

grr Tiger here, sorry for being long in my reply, I had gone to work by the time you posted ..
you most certainly said a lot more than you admit to here ..
you made suggestion that employers do not work with anyone's elses welfare at heart ..

also, I have not said what my employees are currently paid, you are making assumptions it is still circa 17k, it's considerably higher than that ..
as for what I pay myself that is of no concern of anyone else, yourself included
My point was that in some instance people run businesses with...
and you would do what? close the businesses down that manage to hang in in there and see people made redundant? or support the efforts to keep things going through some tought times but keep staff employed?
the last line of this post it typical and utter misguided bullshit reply from a view point that really fails to see any other perspective about businesses and what their owners do, and try to do. Not just for their own ends but for the ends of their employees.
