There is a lack of empathy in general imo, mention the word welfare and the word that springs to mind as the most prevalent descriptor in the media is 'scrounger'.
I agree there will be those who have had a seemless transition I'm glad of course Smudgie did, yet is this representative?
It's not just welfare affected, it's swathes of cuts to vital services and resources leaving mentally and physically incapacitated stranded, on a national level how many people is it feasible to suggest have benefited form the cuts?

I'm only speaking from my own experience with families and yes in all cases it has been seemless and two families were moved up while the other 3 remained on the same level, I repeat I am well aware that people are falling through the cracks, and that services are being reduced, all I am saying is not everyone has been treated badly and I think this message is just as important for stressed claimants to hear as the negative stories.
