Incapable

There really are medical conditions of which obesity is either a symptom or a cause. There really can be either psychiatric causes or psychiatric effects of addiction to drugs or to alcohol.

Not for the first time, I have to point out that no one is going to lose entitlement until lawyers, or whoever the Government hires in, can show that they know more about these things than doctors do. That will never happen.

Indeed, the physically and mentally debilitating effects of the process might very well cause entitlement to increase.

And the Prime Minister who introduced Incapacity Benefit ... oh, what was her name?
