  • MPs criticise disability benefits tests

    MPs have criticised the test being used to see whether people claiming disability benefits are fit to work.

    The Public Accounts Committee said the Work Capability Assessment had resulted in too many wrong decisions which were overturned on appeal.

    Its chair Margaret Hodge accused the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) of being "unduly complacent" and of hurting the "most vulnerable".
