Quote ="Sal Paradise"What I said was how many people who claim disability genuinely cannot work? I would suggest it is closer to the 1m than it is to 3m.
I had significant mental issues following the death of my brother these went on for over 30 years until I had some cognitive treatment - It was suggested I could register as disabled due to severe depression. I didn't and have lived with it and worked around it. Not sure if that counts as an illness or a condition but you don't know anything about me so as I said get off you high horse.'"
And you obviously don't know anything about the current system, for example there hasn't been a "register" for the disabled for many years, no high horse for me.
Those of us that have been going through it for 7 years (yes we are regularly "assessed" if you can call it that), know that disability benefits have been designed to save money ie get as many people off as possible, Esther McVey dropped that clanger (cutting 20% off DLA/PIP) years ago. They failed with me.
Sorry about the loss of your brother, maybe you should have accepted more help disability wise then you may understand what you are talking about.
