JUDGE RULED WITHHOLDING DISABILITY PAYMENTS UNLAWFUL WHY IS IT STILL DONE




Damian Green was replaced by David Gauke. He insist on rolling out the new Universal Credit after many objections from MPs and to charity organisations. It must be for the advantage to the Government and to the disadvantage to the poor and disabled.


NEW HEAD OF DEPARTMENT OF WORKS AND PENSION. SO FAR NO DIFFERENCE.

HAS IAN DUNCAN SMITH PAID BACK THEIR MONEY YET?  OR THE NEW HEAD DAMIAN GREEN????

Is this Government above the Law because they ignore the Judge decision?

It does look like it because another disable person who had to take out a loan with WONGA and hanged himself because they took every penny out of his account. 

DWP is rather spending tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money to fight the court's decision instead to paying out.


IAN DUNCAN SMITH 
 - HEAD OF DEPARTMENT 
OF WORK AND PENSIONS

DESPITE OF NOT BEING 

ABLE TO SET UP THE NEW I.T. 
PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE 
PAYMENT UP; HE STARTED 
NOW TO "REFORM "
THE PENSIONS
Two disabled people took the Department of Work and Pension (DWP) to court because they had to wait one year to receive the new Personal Independence Payment. How does Ian Duncan Smith think they live on?

They borrowed from loan sharks and went to Food Bank to survive in the meantime.

Good News for them and every disable person the judge decided that this is "unlawful" and "unacceptable".

The so called reform of the Disability Benefit meant to be switched over to the Personal Independence Payment by April 2013. It is still not done.

Accordingly the new IT system, costing £500million. which suppose to do it automatically, it is still not working. Ian Duncan Smith by now has an army of computer operators costing an extra £1,2million per year.

The whole switch-over which suppose to save a lot of money but so far costing £800million. It does not only cost money but also lives. It is thought  around 1,000 people committed suicide or died an earlier death than necessary because of the Disability Benefit being stopped and people were worried.

To crown it all, Ian Duncan Smith, head of the DWP awarded himself and his staff £44million bonuses in the year of 2013/14. The bonus for 2014/15 is not known, yet.

PM David Cameron contracted a French firm ATOS which supposed to assess the various cases. They were told only one in eight supposed to be passed to receive Disability Allowances. This caused them to take almost everybody off the Disability Benefit and told the person to go and get a job.

To start with there are over three million unemployed despite what the Government is telling the people. So how can a disabled person have a chance to get a job. At the same time the clever government closed down Remploy which were factories mainly to employ disabled people which Labour set up.

ATOS even told people with incurable illnesses like Parkinson and MNS they are fit for work and stopped their benefit. David Cameron did nothing to stop them treating people like that, despite the outcry of the public..

Eventually he cancelled their contract which initially costs £1million to start with and the cancellation costs were never revealed.

David Cameron now contracted MAXIMUS from the USA, which already was in court in America for fraud and ill-treading disabled people. How much the contract costs was never revealed.

At last, after two years, two people took the department to court and won their case which was Justice.

Congratulation!!!!

Hopefully all the Disability Benefit will now be  paid. After all the mess, hardship, death and trouble Ian Duncan Smith caused; he is still the golden boy. In the private sector he would not have lasted more than a month. Nor would he lasted under any other government if it were not for David Cameron

TORIES WHEELS STARTED TURNING ALREADY - Update: 20 May, 2015


UPDATE:  20 May, 2015 -- New Report states that a great number of Community Police Officers are to be axed. They were established to patrol the streets to keep the crime down, to keep in touch with the public and give the real Police Officers more time to deal with bigger crimes. 

Already Tory’s wheels started to turn. It seems they can not wait to turn on the full speed. The last time with the coalition of LibDem, which did stopped the Tories a number of times, they could not so easily put through their many evil plans. Now with having the majority and do not need a Coalition they will be going full speed ahead.

The Daily Mirror already suggested six plans where the Tories will cutback.

1)      Benefit will be capped to £23,000 per year for each family.  It will hit family badly where there are a number of children and it will be the children who will suffer. They were planning this before but the Coalition demanded a £26,000. It will hit families in inner cities where the rents are high.

2)      State will be given new power to invade privacy of ordinary people.  This plan was on the agenda before but the LibDem blocked it. Now the Tories have the majority it will be back. Police will now have power to monitor your browsing and private messages.

3)      Under 21 years will be exempt from claiming Housing Benefit. Charities announced already that this move will get more people homeless and living on the street.  The bedroom tax will help in a roundabout way these youngsters because some families will rent out to cover the tax instead of losing their home.

4)      Referendum on EU membership. Business people already complaining of the uncertainty and it will be two years of expensive time wasting dither.  Well this time they cannot blame Labour. It was the Tories including Cameron who kept announcing it.

5)      Fox hunting will be legalised

6)      Another old dream of Cameron to be revived is changing the constituencies’ borders. The last time again it was LibDem to stop it. This move is obviously in favour of the Tories and already preparing for the next General Election trying to ensure another win.  Labour would lose 20 seats. It would also mean there will be more MPs and more salaries and expenses. At the moment the expense bill was in 2014 for £103million; more than at the peak of the expense scandal in 2009. The austerity is a con to the public. MPs got a 10 percent rise.

Tory’s voters well done but you will not be off the hook because this is only the beginning and the real big bang is still to come from the Department of Work and Pension when Ian Duncan Smith drops his sharpened axe. There is a £12billion cuts prophesied.  It should have made the people prick up their ears especially when the Tories avoided with all their tricks to answer where the axe will fall and for how much.  On a whole they are planning a cut of at least £28billion stated by the Chancellor George Osborne well before the election.

The remaining £16billion of the sum of £28billion will most probably be cuts in council and public service and that will also affect the Tory’s voters who thought joining the elite will give them a winner and exemption from hardship suffered by ordinary people. To some it will be a winner on tax relief if they are in the higher salary bracket.

Another point should be stated about the cons and lies from the Tories about austerity. Convinced the public of the only way to reducing the debts and deficit for introducing austerity. The only thing it reduced was the credit rating for Britain which brought it down to place six. Despite of austerity the Tories managed to add £500billion to the National debts and had the audacity to say that Labour brought them into debts. Labour never made so many debts in all their time they had been in power.

As for accussing Ed  Miliband stabbing his own brother  in the back the Tories are champions in back stabbing the public as well as their own MPs. Did they not promise not to close the A&E in Enfield and then weeks after that Cameron did it. So were all the others closure of A&E but promised before not to. The whole NHS was promised in the last election 2010 and in 2015 again that it would be save in their hands and look back what happened. All the other promises were also never kept and Cameron had the audacity to repeat them.   Is that not the biggest backstabbing there ever was?



As for Labour’s bad economy look at the chart above which is from the Office of National Statistics and even Cameron can not argue with that or white wash. It shows that Labour brought the economy back within a year from -2.5 GDP to +0.5 GDP while the Tories managed to have two recession brought on by them.  The truth is he won on nothing but smears and lies.

By right the General Election should be held again because they won under false pretences and before the Tory run the country completely into the ground.

The tax Credit Cuts were never in their manifesto and their promised to invest  £8billion into the NHS every year which has not happened. are only two of a number of failings.
