Title: WRAG to be demolished
Post by: Old Cruser on July 02, 2015, 12:35:12 PM

The Work related Activity Group is likely to be shut down and all claimants to have the same money as Job Seekers Allowance.
This has long been in the pipeline but Tories would never admit it!

Listening the the BBC news it is being folded - to stop people trying to get into this group instead of on Job Seekers and to encourage people to look for work.

The people in this group were originally put into the group after assessment with a view that they couldn't hold down a full time job but maybe could do some part time work to help to top up their benefits.

Sounds like the Gov are now saying the assessments were wrong????

People had a choice in May , it should have been very clear what the Tories were like towards the disabled we had the full blown experience over the last five years. But hey the people still voted for them and gave them a huge majority to boot says a lot about the British doesn't it? Moan about the Tories then vote them in crazy people crazy country.

I think it says a lot about folks attitude towards disabled/old/special needs people - basically they don't give a monkeys - as long as they are alright, screw everyone else.

Welcome to Conservative Britain.
