    Very interesting reading, the article is right, that people havent been fraudulent in claiming incapacity as govt at that time deemed it lawful. The govt are treating us like stuff off the bottom of their shoes and yes it stinks! :roll:

    I was fuming when I read the Mails article and the author suggested that the 30 plus percentage that drop out do so because they know they are not eligible. My very thought was what about those that can't get to their appointments due to ill health...there must be many who can't make it or need additional help they can't arrange in time.

    I have been telling folks for awhile now..when they bang on about the how many are being deemed fit for work..its only becuase the test is soo damned hard and insanely rediculous.

    its a shame that people are being duped to believe what this gvment are saying...that everyone disabled is scum and a scrounger....
