Would you be doing it like an assessment form in its simple form?

Why?
Jealous that disabled people get to sit at home while you work?
Tell you what. Have a stroke and get vascular dementia and see how much fun you have.
Two seperate things surely - start another thread maybe?
Caporegime
How you drew that conclusion from my post is anyone's guess.
I'm asking your position on how disabled someone has to be to not be working or in education. Your answers so far have been "I'm not a doctor" and "it's pretty obvious and easy to test".

I'd introduce a simpler test.
If they can throw a car battery over a garage, they're fit to work.
Obviously, girls will have something lighter. Maybe a handbag?
Agreed. But you still need to check
Sigh Ive said over and over that I dont have an issue with the genuine getting benefits - thats what NI is for.
yea but th ats not because of labour policy.
its because the current government is doing the best it can to make sure the next government takes all the blame.
itf labour get in power the tories will tell us how labour bankrupted the country, like last time
the tories are selling all the family heirlooms and jewels on their way out
I thought benefit fraud was supposed to be such a tiny percent?
even back in 2013 it was supposed to be almost nothing, and that was before they scrapped DLA to get everyone on life time awards at the back of the queue again.

you know around the time the disabled were committing suicide from the stress of switching to PIP
it's just an easy target everyone gets behind to hate.
according to that site tax fraud dwarves benefit fraud

And when it comes to things more than a £25 PIP payment (which get used to show how 'so many people' are on benefits), the genuine often struggle to get the benefits they should probably be entitled to because they're having to jump through excessively stringent hoops in the name of stamping out the barely existent fraud that the Daily Mail like to throw about as a headline every now and then.
The UK benefits bill last year was nearly a quarter of a trillion pounds - thats not sustainable.
What cuts are you proposing to fund areas you think are more important?
When I was unemployed in the early 90's for 2.5 yrs I had to attend a few Skills Workshops to help me get a job, CV, interview technique etc. For the most part it was pretty basic advice.
The unemployment office were basically saying look at any job, yet I had only done welding. Go for an interview and they're not interested because you're over qualified or don't have the experience for a job you've never done.
There is but it's provided by people who aren't really qualified anymore
they got rid of social workers and community support teams for mental health.
they replaced everything with Social prescribing care workers, peoples only access to them is through a GP and no one seems to k now these people exist anyway.
Who are they then? Never heard of them
The 'benefits bill' encompasses a vast array of things beyond those which we've been discussing, so no idea where you're going with this particular tangent or why you're asking me about cuts.
