    It seems like they don’t care about putting people through hell as long as they get their pound of flesh.

    Agreed, the years leading up to my DLA to PIP switch I was reading about the nightmares some were being put through and I too became one of those but it really made me angry when time and again some politician would answer to the press when asked about the nightmares they would say “we’ve got appeal system to safe guard disabled folk”.

    They just don’t realise how frightening that is for we law abiding disabled citizens who have never seen the inside of a courtroom or to be cross examined by a judge.

    The ideal was a good one, after all with DLA there was very little checking for qualification but they went about it like a Bull in a china shop and the main reason for the change looking at it from my point of view is it was nothing more that to cut the benefit and like everything government does, it ended up costing more than what they saved.
