so, tax payer's money was used to get her back to a state where she was able to work (which is great, that's exactly what it's there for), but because she is now able to work and her benefits have been cut she thinks her only option is to get fat again??A 22-stone woman who has lost a staggering 16-stone says a decision to stop her £340 disability allowance could see her pile the pounds back on.
And after dropping from 38-stone to 22-stone with the help of an NHS-funded gastric bypass she was well on her way to achieving her goal of slimming into a pair of size 12 jeans.
Until this month when benefit bosses decided to scrap her £340 disability allowance on the grounds she is no longer fat enough to claim.
Laura, 25, claims it is a decision that could see her pile weight back on because with hand-outs of £600 a month left, she says she can't afford to eat healthily.
