[QUOTE="Birdwoman, post: 1859412, member: 451471"] I am so so pleased I do not live in the UK any more and would never never return to live there again, it is turning into a third world country!!! My son lives there though, disabled with a very rare progressive condition, in pain all the time. Cannot walk far, stand for long or sit for long. Was on ESA, called in for an assessment and a week later had a phone call to say "AS FROM THIS MORNING ALL YOUR BENEFITS HAVE BEEN STOPPED" Housing benefit and Council tax inc.. Now eviction is on the cards because he cannot pay them. The assessment questions the doctor has to answer are worded so simple and open that I cannot see how anyone can fail. 1st question - "you can move more than 200 metres on flat ground (moving could include walking, using crutches or using a wheel chair). Who can fail that? They might just as well stop all benefits and not give everyone the agro in between because that is the way they are going!! [/QUOTE]
