Disabled benefits cut have caused a 'human catastrophe'

[dutch]

Take a step back and look again. The real mentally ill are the tories who tell real disabled people to work under ridiculous circumstances.

If someone takes so much medication to bring physical problems under control but now the intense medication makes them drowsy, tired, low energy a crazy insane tory will come and say, oh you can work fine now back to work now.

They have no respect for disabled people.

DWP spends £39m defending decisions to strip benefits from sick and disabled people. The costs that have been exposed so far only refer to those incurred by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and do not include money spent by the Courts and Tribunals Service, which carry out the appeals.

 

Atos & Capita given £578m so far for assessing people for PIP since it launched in 2013

 

The Government spent £1,166,459 trying to take benefits from ESA claimants between January and March 2016, and £2,069,849 in the same period this year – a 77 per cent rise.

Woman has 30 epileptic seizures per month and told she is not disabled.

When I tell this to friends and family abroad they laugh and say that only happens in cloud cuckoo land.

I am becoming increasingly of the opinion that we should stop moaning about the so called "war on the disabled" and accept that it is actually a war on the disabled: there are internationally agreed rules for war.

 

Once we accept that, we can ask for a cease fire, and maybe the UN can broker a peace treaty...

The vulnerable are being penalised for the actions of the venal. The weak are easier to pick on than the strong.
