hhmmm saw an interview on the news a Burnley resident with Parkinson's failed the new incapacity reassessment.... the test is so weighted that even though he has marked weakness and tremors he somehow managed to get a 0 score. You have to make 15 in order to be deemed unfit.

0 means completely ft for work. He said " he wished it was true."

so based on that test he loses his incapacity. I missed a bit of the interview, but something was said about medical opinion will not be considered in the reassessment.
