Katie Farrington, Director General for Disability, Health and Pensions at the DWP has just described me & many like me as "the stock of existing claimants"... which I find a poor choice of words. In their eyes am I live stock or cattle market fodder? It's degrading & dehumanising. It's offensive. There's clearly no compassion or empathy in those words.

In my humble opinion they are using our complaints about the benefits system well & truly against us.

This whole punishing & demonising of claimants needs to stop. Enough is enough. Is wanting peace of mind & financial security too much to ask?

It worries me to death that thousands of people including myself will be subjected to punishment & financial instability or forced to comply with rules regulations & demands we simply cannot fulfil. All for the sake of proving to the ignorant section of the tax paying public who prefer to live in denial about how some of us simply cannot work.
