Changes begin for disability benefit

[Win2Win]

I agree changes need to be made but they are making them at the wrong time. Taking people off disability and telling them to get a job is fine, however no jobs are currently available due to the economy :doh1:

Another thing is that these medical checks are no longer done by doctors but a sub-contracted non-medical trained staff that just tick boxes.

And I have a feeling the appeals process is going to be overwhelmed.
