    I am absolutely no fan of this government @Injector but I’d try not to worry. We will hopefully know what’s going to happen on Tuesday when the green paper is published. They are saying that those with genuine disabilities will still be supported.

    My sense is that they will focus primarily on two things. 1) Getting those who are under 25 but not in education, training or employment, off benefits and 2) reclassifying certain health conditions such as anxiety and depression so that they don’t trigger disability benefits. I think that most voters would support both those aims, but targeting those with disabilities that genuinely prevent them from working would go down very badly with most right minded people and, when all is said and done, politicians want to be popular.
