Dear rob,

In this edition we have news that ESA work-related activity group (WRAG) claimants can now be forced to undertake mandatory work for the good of the community, without time limits. There’s also the hard-faced decision by the coalition to limit ESA uprating to 1% per annum for the next three years.

Plus we learn that the DWP received legal advice two years ago that all medicals should be recorded on demand, not just ESA ones.

We have good news from Carer Watch:  Pat’s Petition for a debate on welfare reform has succeeded by an unexpected route and they are now asking for your support.  In addition, we have a magnificent 900+ page collection of DLA and AA case law digests for all of those of you who are in the process of appealing.
