Sick
It comes as no surprise whatever that huge numbers of people who are denied ESA in order to meet government targets are then granted it on appeal. Does it never occur to anyone that the problem is not "fraud" (you need to look elsewhere for that, which is why no one ever does), but the fact that so many people really are too ill to work? What has caused this baleful state of affairs? And what can be done to put it right?
