"Fitness for work" is akin to the length of a piece of string. Our twins were assessed by a DWP person who had been a professional Carer. She knew what they could possibly do, both physically and mentally, but erred on the side of not putting them into work that could cause them harm, anxiety or distress.

And yesterday, up popped Tony Bliar saying that Disability Payments should not be doled-out to people just because they might get anxious.

That is the first shot across the bow I reckon. Full scale war against the disabled will appear soon enough "to save money".
