Hi Walt,
My concerns are more that those who ( upon transition from I.B ) are unable to work for life due to the severity of their condition will be lumped into the work related activity group as opposed to the support group where they actually belong. Only approx 6% of current E.S.A claimants have been assessed of sufficient severity for support group status.
Considering also the A.T.O.S/government
approach to tighten medical assessment thus making it more difficult to even qualify for the benefit and constant moving of the goal posts it's virtually impossible to know where one stands with regard to the whole sickness/disability situation.
