A scrounger who almost died after cutting his own foot off so he could stay on jobless benefits has been told he might still qualify for work despite his amputation.



Long term unemployed Hans Url, 56, had just been told his hand-outs would stop if he did not accept work found for him by job centre staff.



And when his claims that he was too sick and did not like the work were challenged with the offer of a medical, he took drastic measures.



Url, of Mitterlabill, southern Austria, rigged up a mitre saw and sliced off his foot – then put it in the oven for good measure to ensure no surgeon could reattach it.



But job centre staff have delivered a blow to hapless Url's plan by saying his new disability does not rule him out for work.

Stupid person O_o
 
This is sickening and this man needs to be placed in a mental ward.
 
Serves him right that he's still able to work...
