Talking to someone who claims they will kill their-self if

[ethan]

the Tories means test Personnel Indepence Payments on the 17th of November, as it will rob them of the only thing they have left. He likens the introduction of means testing as an attack on the disabled similar to that of the introduction of the gas chambers to eliminate the jews.

I was quite shocked to hear this as he says he would say goodbye to his grandchildren and wife and then kill himself.

I think it's quite sad really.

If it’s means tested then it will come to light if people are trying to fake it.

Not saying they will or are but this is what the tests are for. As long as they pass the means test it will be fine surely?

There will be a lot of people who live with partners who bring in a wage over the threshold-who-due to any number of financial commitments - are quite poor. It would also adversly affect those who work and are disabled etc.

That’s not exactly what I was saying. At all. Who’s getting asses?

He means assessed. It's a typo.
