The NHS and Pensions are being hit in the pocket because there are now more people alive, and they're living longer.

The same in a way applies to the disabled, the more there are the less they get from the pot.

The NHS are trying many 'schemes' to reduce outlay - as in the constant attempts to deny the obese, smokers, drinkers etc the same service as 'normal' people get. Is it really any wonder that the Disability powers are doing the same?

In both cases, there needs to be a lot more money going INTO the pot to ensure everyone has a fair share - otherwise we will all soon end up with nothing.
