What kind a person, especially as a woman, is PM May, living in the lap of luxury, to cut Personal Independence Payments which will have devastating effects on the most disabled people.
Apparently PM May carries on where ex-PM David Cameron left off or is he still pulling the strings and she just acts. It would not be a surprise.
Charities warned that 230,000 people could lose or receive a reduced Personal Independent Payment (PIP).
It also concerns the most vulnerable cases of disabled people who need round-the-clock care. It is the worst deed PM May could have done.
At the same time PM May gave the 650 MPs a pay rise of £1,049 which bring it to £76,000 from 1 April, 2017. In 2016 their pays increased from £66,000 to £72,000. MPs who are already more than well paid considering all their expenses are paid by the taxpayers. Their claims for fuel allowance totalled to £200,000 alone.
Labour refused the pay rise.
110,000 DLA claimants were re-assessed by Maximus, an American firm which had been in court in the USA for fraud, and 21 pc had their Disability Living Allowance benefit cancelled.
Another 121,000 a 23 pc had their PIP been given but at a lower rate
The data shows that nearly half of those re-assessed people lost some or all of their disability benefit.
450 with Parkinson disease
3,069 with MS
4,450 suffering of a malignant disease
294 cystic fibrosis
36 MN
1,617 classed as terminal ill
2,525 blind people
570 suffer from AIDS
128 Haemophiliacs
19 double amputees
20,050 Back pain
34,545 Arthritis
8,084 chronic pain symptoms
10,725 learning difficulties
The DWP insisted that on a whole 40 pc had their payment increased and 12 pc had experienced no change.
The most repulsive statement came from the DWP about those classed as terminal ill. It said: "They were not found any longer as "terminal ill" because they were not expected to live beyond six months."
Charity MIND which cares about mental health pointed out that 74,580 DLA claimants with four psychiatric disorders lost some or all of their of their benefit - 55 pc were re-assessed.
It all came after the £4,4bn were scrapped. On account of it Ian Duncan Smith resigned and it showed and proved what kind of character he is to begrudge the benefit to the worst off people.
He should have been axed a long time ago because the amount of taxpayers' money wasted on his Universal Credit reform, untold harm to people, 2,300 suicide and it is still a mess.
On top of it all he allowed himself and his DWP staff a £44million bonus while all the time ex-PM Cameron and ex-Chancellor Osborne were looking on fattened their friend as never before in UK's history.
The worst disabled people also had to return their much needed Motability vehicle.
What kind of callous and cold-blooded people, sitting in high position earning fat salaries, pay no expenses and do nothing but cutting desperate ill people's benefit.
Is it not enough that over 2,300 people were driven to suicide? Does nothing ever reach them to make them stop?
New report stated that another 600 disabled people last year alone died because of being forced into work and their Disability Benefit was withdrawn.
