I imagine that most people would be pleased about not being changed over and want to put it off for as long as possible!

Figures on BBC Business News this morning showed that 25% of the country is in poverty. Of those, 50% were disabled.

Pensioner poverty has decreased though. This is probably because pensioners were exempt from the benefit cuts, whereas the disabled weren't. They don't want to go upsetting all those Tory voting pensioners do they
