Almost 1 million under 35s are on disability benefits. Our definition of ‘disability’ has expanded too far. It doesn’t make sense. We can’t afford it. And people are being defined by their diagnosis, not by what they can achieve. Time to change course.

Just stop. You are creating worry and misery and great concern for those genuine claimants who fear their payments maybe stopped. Have some empathy with them and stop your ranting. It is not for an MP to cause distress to anyone let alone the sick, the poor and the vulnerable.
