It seems as though Labour are effectively going to decree that everyone under the age of 25 (apart from those who have met the severe conditions criteria) will effectively be deemed to be capable of work-related activity, with the health element not being accessible to them before then. An entirely ridiculous suggestion.
I don't know who came up with such an idea but I can tell you one thing, it wasn't a disabled person.
Of course this could be a media spin, whereby they put out something completely outrageous and then they announce the actual policy and it's a slightly watered down version, but either way, effectively forcing thousands of disabled people to compete for jobs they won't be able to do is completely nonsensical proposition.
