So an overhaul is needed- one that serves the people who actually need support.

I hope for a positive outcome.
The system is/has supposed to have been overhauled.
When the government hire private companies to take control of the medical assessments and then be told by the government how many they expect to be signed off and fit to work, oh! and offered a bonus for every hundred or so of those ....that`s when you end up with genuine deserving people tossed to one side and left to deal with the stress, anxiety and fear of having nowhere or no one to turn to.
It is no wonder the suicide rate of people being signed off is climbing.
