I think getting the emotionally/mentally ill into some sort of work would be handled sensitively. Anyone with serious mental health problems would not be forced into work unsuitable for them.

I imagine depression and anxiety would be a fairly easy illness to feign by the lazy work-shy. We cannot afford to support those people.

The truly ill would have nothing to fear.

VQ, I dread going to the centre I help to run, all who use the centre have mental health illnesses , they depend on ESA and DLA , most don't have a carer . There will be mass panic , how much more can the vulnerable take from this vile government , I am in despair

Some work is good for your health. Some isn't. What's good for your health is being in control of your situation, and what's very bad for your health is being put under pressure whilst having no control.

This man terrifies me. Just reading this article had me fighting a panic attack. I rely on my ESA and DLA to live. DH's only income is the Carer's Allowance he gets for looking after me 24/7.
