Sure, you're reluctant to take the proferred disability stipend, but consider...

Most of us are not opposed in principle to the welfare state, under which those in various forms of need are subsidized, to the tune of fractions of a cent per annum per capita, by those in robust good health with paying jobs. It's the tendency of the welfare state to attract grifters and cheats that frosts people, and you do not fall into that category. You have a vile suppurating sore on your leg; this will only get worse if you're turned out on the street, and then you'll really be a charge on the public purse with those costly emergency room visits. I say take the money with a clean conscience: my tax dollars have been spent on Central American death squads times past—I'll cheerfully underwrite my fraction of a mill on the off chance you're actually on to something with your take on gravity.

cordially,
