Whilst PIP was announced a few years ago, it's procedures and criteria have evolved rapidly from a simple name change to a very Draconian process of test, test and test again. Even for those disabled people who are obviously not going to improve.

Cameron always uses the soundbite "for those in most need" whilst the goalposts move further and further towards the extreme end of the disability spectrum. This is leaving a lot of very vulnerable people exposed.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

I wonder what he would say about a nation that abandons its disabled members?
