Is this an accurate summary of what we know about benefit reforms?

Here’s an interesting video clip – is this an accurate summary of what we know about benefit reforms?

This Writer thinks Phil Moorhouse is going too easy on Labour; he reckons that Liz Kendall is not planning to reduce the benefit bill by unfairly restricting payments from people who deserve them, and that the reduction will come entirely from combating fraud.

But all the talk has focused on disabled people – and there is absolutely no fraud in disability benefits.

Phil also says there will be no spying on bank accounts, except where people have been found guilty of committing benefit fraud, and are not making their repayments on time. I’d like to think this is true but I also want to know where he’s getting his information. I note that he says The Big Issue is the best source at the moment.

Here’s the clip. I would very much like you to comment on it:

    I’ve personally had a recent experience of DWP’s lying, bullying and gaslighting as I am entitled to a small amount of benefits. They act more like a predatory phone scammer than a benefits agency, and are not to be trusted with treating disabled people fairly, whatever they say.
