Another angry woman 
Absolutely disgusting what this government are doing to people on benefits. Apparently, I’m fit for work, now without even considering any depression I may suffer (which I could be making up, I’m not but it could be argued that I was), I had a heart attack, it’s left me some physical problems and mental problems (memory and concentration), yet I didn’t get awarded any points in either ESA or pip assessments. Now, I didn’t expect to qualify for high rates of either, but to get zero points when I’ve got obvious health issues, and then I hear of people with worse health issues than me and still they don’t qualify??! It really takes the piss. We need to get the nasty party out of power as soon as.
