Ken Clarke cuts are a false economy that more disabled people remain poor in the benefits, said Kathy Peach
Explanation
PlayKen Clarke for his reforms to legal aid is a strange experience for anyone concerned about the impact of the removal of access to legal aid for social cases. He says: "Without legal aid and lawyers dedicated to providing our justice system was simply collapse." is absolutely right. is also true that the legal aid system should "carefully determine what types of cases most urgently deserve scarce resources." Clarke wants to "protect the legal aid where it matters most." The question is how to get from here to the removal of legal aid for low-income people who are left without the means to live after being the victim of bad decisions or administrative errors in the welfare system. disabled people - who are among the most economically impoverished in our society - 58% of those receiving legal aid casework. This translates into over 78,000 disabled people each year, who are assisted by legal counsel to challenge the decisions that the benefits can leave many difficulties. legal assistance in this area is vital in the best, but right now the protection system is changing. This is almost certainly go hand in hand with implementation problems and deficiencies. About 1.8 million people migrated from Incapacity Benefit in the allocation of employment and support (ESA) or jobseekers allowance, and the transition to universal credit during 2013 to 2017 will affect about 12 million people have said. Around 3.2 million will be removed from the disability benefit payment becomes life of personal independence.
- large extent the process, the government uses to assess disability benefits - the assessment of work capacity (AOC) -. It is false
- Currently 39% of appeals against the AOC "workmanlike" decisions are implemented. It is alarming that 60% of the resources that disabled people face in time to qualify for extra help through the ESA, the AOC first assigned 0 points. To receive support employment usually takes at least 15 points.
a system already prone to error must be subjected to greater pressure by rapid social reforms of the government, which is likely to cause more people to deny the benefit or support evil.
