Where Benefit wars are fuelling violence is only because the obviously disabled make an easy target. Saddest of all, these are the people who truly deserve our compassion & support. These are the self same people who get bullied and ill served by ATOS and the stupid box ticking that deliberately ignores medical truths such as claiming someone profoundly deaf from birth can hear. Or treating anyone with degenerative illnesses as if they will get better.

So the people who will lose a few pounds from child tax credits or who read the scaremongering press will blame the benefit scroungers. However as they are not individually easy to identify the disabled become the target.
