hi

Many people have short memories when it suits them !!!!

Successive governments of both colours have long promised to reduce the number of people on incapacity benefits.

None has achieved anything. It has got progressively worse.

If ( not when ) this government gets around to trying to do it they will find that it is almost impossible to achieve.

As someone said earlier - how can they get people who are judged to be fit to work to come off Incapacity if there are no jobs ??

I know a few people who have been investigated in the past and judged to be fit to work. Each one challenged the judgement resulting in long legal cases costing thousands and thousands of pound and to my knowledge not one of them has moved off Incapacity.

This new government will find it very difficult to make their promises stick. Promises are easy......achieving them isn't.

cheers
