While I’m not sure about this story, as I suspect we aren’t being given the full picture, I think it is worth linking to anyway. It concerns a severely disabled young man who, even though he can neither walk, talk or care for himself, has had to undergo a work assessment and is now at risk of loosing his benefits. The problem, as far as I can gather, is a lack of coordination between authorities as he goes from child to adult services. Yet this is nevertheless more evidence of the pressure we disabled people now face; the government is trying to squeeze us however it can, so much so that work capability assessment firms don’t give a fuck about putting this man and his mum through this ridiculous process. It is quite wrong and very worrying.
