The govt refuses to do impact assessments of the proposed cuts to benefits because they're focused on getting people in to work (I doubt there has been an assessment on the liklihood of it succeeding either or whether getting into work gets you off means tested benefits or out of poverty).

Scientists discover that disability does not start until the age of 22

As a result of this remarkable discovery, the DWP will stop incapacity benefits
