>A jobless 32-stone woman who claims she can't work because of her weight lives off £18,000 a year in benefits - more than a nurse's salary.
>Morbidly obese Rochelle Coulson, who has not worked in five years, claims she can't get a job because her weight makes her fall asleep throughout the day.
>The 21-year-old suffers from sleep apnoea - a condition linked to obesity - which she says makes her a danger to the public.
>After being diagnosed in December 2012, she claims she can drop off to sleep for up to six hours per day.
>But Ms Coulson, who has put on a whopping 13 stone in just four years by eating through "boredom", rakes in £18,712 in benefits - the equivalent of a £22,000 taxable annual salary.
>It's also equal to the salary of a newly qualified teacher.
>She told MailOnline: "I would love to have a job, I didn't choose to be like this. But I can't. I'm too dangerous. I can't do anything if I'm falling asleep the whole time."
>I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE LIKE THIS.
>I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE LIKE THIS.
>I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE LIKE THIS.
>Unable to get a job due to being signed off with depression, she started eating up to ten packs of crisps a day and binging on takeaways.
