The bureau, backed by 18 other bodies, says people are "effectively being written off" and the government's aim of moving people into work "totally undermined".
"Seriously ill and disabled people are being severely let down by the crude approach of the Work Capability Assessment," said chief executive David. Harker

This government do seem to have been rather poor at dealing with this issue..The trouble is I can't imagine that with future cutbacks in the pipeline that this issue will be dealt with any better.
