It was, they decided to focus on what people can do as opposed to what people couldn't do when it came to assessing whether they were fit for worknir not.
The overall system was changed for the worse by Cameron. For all the problems that people have with May, she is planning to stop assessing those whose conditions are unlikely to change and to introduce a ten yearly light touch assessment for pensioners.
There are also plans to merge the assessments for PIP and ESA, this is beinv criticised because if the assessment is failed, both benefits would stop. At the moment, at least oeople will have something to live on whilst appeals etc are processed (these can take a very long time due to the numbers that the DWP are routinely turning down).

Just to be on your safe side, when I say we can laugh at it, we don't think it's funny haha, (just a parody) just funny as we relate and see the irony to it all. But to highlight it in this manner has to be a good thing.
But I'm sure you'll find a way to find fault with those that can laugh at something so damning.

I find the first part of your post interesting, but the final sentence makes no sense at all.
