She can't see the wood for the trees. ME people were UNUM's (and who corrupted the DWP) experimental guinea pig and due to the 'success' with us they moved onto all other mental and physical disabilities. The WCA and ESA problems are the symptoms of this wider assault on ME/CFS by Unum and then the DWP.Thanks. Amazing hypocrisy. It was signed by Margaret McCartney.
