I wonder how many have a diagnosis which will NEVER change Helen! How many shouldn’t be revisited or reassessed, due to existing reports If we’re starting to question professional reports from Clinical Psychiatrists, we’ve got a huge problem, much bigger than any reform has!

Labour don't just refuse to reform Welfare - they're failing to even check entitlement under the system we have now. Checks on 2.3 million claimants are overdue... 700,000 by more than 3 years. Labour is parking people on benefits and giving up on them.
