I don't dislike "deserve," but I tend to avoid it, too. To me, we all deserve basic human rights, like a safe place to live, enough food to eat, freedom to make our own choices, caring adults who act in our best interest (for kids), etc. I don't use deserve for things we might earn, have or not have happen, or anything other than basic rights type stuff.

Pre mid 2013, it was known as “invalids benefit” which I hated.....just because I have a disability or long term health condition doesn’t make me invalid automatically.

Wow, that's a terrible name for the living assistance you were receiving! At least they finally changed it.
