Human beings are reversible creatures who can proliferate with right combination of proteins needed by our body, right corrective activity and above all ,willingness to achieve such objectives.Sometimes it might need a complete life style change and the success will depend upon the ability and acceptance for such change in a defined period of time or environment and how it can affect the person in many aspects of life.Human beings tend to develop many tendencies and many natural habits sometimes without even considering its self long term effect and the likely danger or threats not willing to do so.Following my motor mobility deficit in 2012, I could have thought to enjoy pleasant financial lifetime luxury life on benefits But I preferred to beat it and I did very well.

I believe it should be entirely dependant on the persons condition, and should be decided by fully qualified medical professionals that specialise in the field in which the person in questions condition falls.

It needs to be reassessed periodically. I know it's a hassle, but it may be the best way to weed out some of the dubious claims that appear regularly in the press, and also because many long-term conditions do fluctuate so the person's needs may increase, or indeed lessen.
