Panorama: The Great Disability Scam

January 19, 2013

Monday 28th January, 8.30pm, BBC1:

Sam Poling investigates whether one of the Government’s most ambitious welfare reforms can solve the problem of disability unemployment. She reveals that some private companies are benefiting financially from the new reforms despite only being able to get a small number of disabled people back to work, and speaks to charities that feel the most vulnerable in society are being failed.

    Isn’t this a repeat of a programme shown a few weeks back? The problem is these tend to show ‘we’ the ‘disabled’ from a very negative viewpoint and whilst the government don’t come out of it well I’m afraid that from the subjects they pick ‘we’ tend to come out of it even worse and often end up looking like the great undeserving rather than a case for real consideration.
