Re: Tory plan to cut disability red tape
Looking at this from a politically neutral view, I don't think any politician of either party would want to intentionally make it difficult for genuinely disabled claimants or family members to access.
Personally I'm of the opinion that when in government a great deal of these good ideas and intentions just get swallowed up by the minutia and bureaucracy of government, I'm sure if Cameron gets to be PM there will be an army of civil servants telling him all the pitfalls of making claiming easier, along with warnings of headlines in the Daily Hate and Sun saying, "wet Tory goes soft on benefits".
After thirteen years in power Labour are jaded by the political process and cynical to its workings, maybe the civil service should be top of the list for reform for whoever wins next.
