His benefit was stopped, and told to find a job.
What is so annoying is that this comes a day after myself watching Question Time last night and hearing that this government do not know how many illegal immigrants there are in this country and many immigrants are claiming benefits and sending them back home.
This government should pick on the people that are claiming benefits that they have no rights to, before picking on sick people that deserve what benefits they can get.

Sorry Arthur but myself being a patient who has a long term serious heart condition which will in time require a transpant as l myself am one of these sick people and my own experiences because l myself have a device installed is that generally people with serious conditions have their assessments done in their own home as DWP usually have all my information from the GP and Hospital thus they know that patients with serious conditions would never be able to make it to a assessment centre and also never believe what you read as most newspapers invent and fabricate their stories.
