Exactly the claim made by tories when they invented PIP.

A reminder for all those not watching. The process for reviewi g claims cost them way way more then they ever saved.

A huge 60 % of rejected cases were over thrown by courts for failing to follow thier own rules.

And DWP is still refusing to release their imvestigation into the huge rise in suicides from claiments.

Anyone who thinks claiming PIP is to easy, is delusional.

The disabled community as a whole has spent the last 14 years stressed to the point of ill health and suicide through exactly the percecution Labour is planing to contine.

At some point the government has to actually look at what has happened to the last 40plus years of growth. Because the disabled or poor sure as hell did not get a fair share of it.

And a reminder to those less informed.

Most claiming PIP are actually working. PIP and its DLA predecessor are not intended as a income based benifit.

Their only purpose is to cover the extra costs disabled people must face to interact with the rest of society. Andbin genral do not come close to doing so.
