Work Capability Assessments to be scrapped.

Well with that and the news about 'disability benefits being kept in place for people, able & wanting to turn to work' ...providing they can actually find work that is. This maybe! One of the only two logical ideas Tories have come up with in 12 long years that could benefit the unwell unemployed.
