Newsnight Scotland 5th October 2011

“Tonight on Reporting Scotland “Should the Scottish Parliament accept Iain Duncan
Smith’s Welfare Reform Bill?”

‘Wholesale changes to the benefit system are among one of the coalition’s flagship
policies.

‘Now the SNP agree with Labour that Holyrood should be able to throw some of them out.

Are they standing up for the poorest in Scotland or walking straight in to a constitutional crisis?”

We’re shouting Hallelujah! AND Nothing About Us Without Us!

e-petition - Stop Unfair Re-assessments For Disabled People

Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions

Stop the unfair and cruel re-assessments via ATOS for disabled people currently on Incapacity Benefit. ESA is a flawed benefit, and puts terrible pressure and stress on vulnerable people, putting people who cannot work on lesser benefits and applying sanctions. Let disabled people decide for themselves if they can work, they and their carers know best.
