Did anyone see the 74 year old breakdancing on it? I didn't but heard today on the radio that he receives disability benefit and is being investigated. Oooppss:))

Poor old boy, I saw him perform he had to sit down on the stage afterwards.

Edit: on a chair on the stage..lol

Uggers, and also has a disability car, or so I read in the Sunday's.. You ask me he wants his brain investigating. Who in their right minds would come on national tv. when claiming benefits, and hope not to be found out.

I think "break dancing" was a tad like saying I look like Elizabeth Taylor in her youth Uggers!

I felt sorry for the poor old guy - he looked like yer uncle dancing at a wedding - BUT - he was jolly with it and said that he works 7 nights a week at nightclubs ("dancing" I assume, unless he's behind the bar).

I guess if he's claiming invalidity benefit or something he should be investigated, but he looked a little "touched" to me - bless him

i saw the man on the talent show he was very good and funny but heard today he has to pay all benefit back as he told them he had gammy leg he gets £74 a week disability and just over£40 a week for disability car and then pension on top they also found out that 7 nights a week he break dances in clubs because he loves doing it xx

I'm going to have to have a gander at him on youtube. I obviously don't know all the ins and outs of their business but my neighbours have a free car and they were still able to work on the sly so I never go that either :)

Blimey Kerry, what pensioners have to do to suppliment their pension these days lol

i know cant believe everything he gets he was very cheerfull on tv but wont be now lol xxx

Like I said Uggs - he looked a bit "touched" to me - well, you would be wouldnt you? break dancing at 74! the most painful bit was when he did a sort of somersault - oooooooooh I thought - A & E here we come - both hips!!

what a good un at that age.....but daft man fancy putting yourself in tv spotligt drawing those benifits.


his poor little legs must have been in agony after.........:}}}}}}}}}

Uggers

I have a free car (well it's paid for via DLA) and used to work it is not dependent on income via that route.

Silly sausage he is. Wonder if he thinks his 15 minutes of fame was worth it.

He really must be a bit thick;dont you think!

it was "painful" to watch i tell ya lol

I kinda know this man and I can say for SURE he has no car .................

But if hes drawing benefits I really dont know !!

very silly if he is

I cannot understand how he gets a car/car allowance and at his age it is not a disablility allowance (believe that finishes at 65) and is replaced by two levels of attendance allowance - the higher is about £70 per week and is payable only if you require 24 hr care.

Have friend on higher rate of attendance allowance and she could do with car as cannot walk anywhere. Would love to know how you get it.

Leave me grandad alone will ya !!!!!! pmsl

Seriously though, he is probably some ones grandad,
and I hope they are not reading all this about him ?
I thought he was rather harmless really.

Ray he might be someone's grandad but if he's committing benefit fraud he's still a dodgy old scrounger lol

Dodgy old scrounger....pmsl

I liked Stavros Flatly. I larfed my t*ts off! lol

Chris - you can have DLA after the age of 65 as long as you were already recieving it - you can't submit a claim for DLA after your 65th birthday.

To be honest I'm furious and people like the breakdancing old man make my blood boil.

My Dad was getting DLA middle rate for care and higher rate for mobility - twice I appealed to have the higher care rate and was refused, until a Social worker from the Hospice got involved................ My Dad is part paralyised down the right side, has a colostomy, is end of life care and needed help with everything !! But they refused until the Social worker got involved.

And here we have a man who can breakdance claiming DLA care and mobility both on the high rate.
Rant over !!!!!
