Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Benefits Up-rating Bill.

What would the hon. Lady say to the 59-year-old gentleman who came to see me on Saturday at my constituency surgery who suffers from schizophrenia and has failed the work capability test? He has now been sent on a security guard course by his local jobcentre, which is totally inappropriate. Why do we have a system that is so cruel to such individuals?
