Okay I will have to explain then, the government in its wisdom decided that they would change the system for those receiving disability allowance, they are under the impression that some who receive the benefit are capable of work, rascal quoted 20 percent, let's say this is true, he then claims that as only 0.5 percent are fraudulent claimants it doesn't add up
IDS wants to cut disability benefits by 20% to save money. that only 0.5% of claims according to his own facts and figures supplied by his Dept the DWP just show what an idiotic c**t the man is. He knows that 20% are not fraudulent but he wants to save 20% nonetheless.
Over the last 8 years or so since the ATOS tests started i must have made a 1000 posts on this subject. Its a subject that affects me and many people i know and its a subject i have researched. I know campaigners who have produced reports, lobbied parliament and demonstrated against these cuts. Because that is what they are. They are cuts in the availability of welfare to 1 in 5 disabled people based on a scurrilous and discredited test that is undertaken by unqualified personal aiming to meet targets set underhandly by IDS and his right hand woman Mcvey and before her Millar and Grayling.
I repeatedly warned where these tests would lead and i have been proved right at every turn. People here may laugh at some of my politics and i laugh at myself at some of the nonsense im capable of producing but on this issue and on this issue alone i am always deadly serious as i have seen at first hand what damage these cuts are doing to people and what hharm they are inflicting on some of the most vulnerable in society.
