Proposed cut in disability benefits
As I do not wish to cause any embarrassment to the gentleman concerned I will refrain from referring to him by name, suffice to say that he was concerned that his expected reduction in benefit would affect his ability to provide for his son, daughter-in-law and grandchild.
It may well be in the way that the item was reported and I know we are not provided with too much background detail but surely any benefits are intended to provide services for the disadvantaged person only.

Could it be that this is why the Government is so keen to overhaul the present system in the first place?
