@NeilCouling 1. Universal Credit defrauds taxpayers who after paying their National Insurance expect reasonable support in times of need, instead find themselves in utter poverty as Tories capped housing benefit way lower than actual rents leaving them to choose between food or rent shortfall
@NeilCouling 2. Yet there's plenty of money, well over a billion in last few years. to slip to privatising profiteers US Maximus & Capita to defraud the sick & disabled out of proper support by running crooked damaging health assessments often overriding Specialist reports to deny support 
@NeilCouling 3. Tory DWP plumb depths of depravity forcing the sick to go through frequent multiple stressful unnecessary assessments knowing full well the severity of long term incurable conditions, yet each time paying these corporates who profit on the backs of the UK's sick & disabled.
@NeilCouling 4. To force sick & disabled off legacy benefits & onto the lower rate of Universal Credit, Tory DWP say change of address or death of spouse means benefit stopped at time of such stress & they must claim UC from scratch &repeat health assessment despite conditions being on record
@NeilCouling 5. The sick or disabled must then fill in all the forms again, despite DWP knowing the details, be forced to see Work Coach. Weeks go by on low rates, then fill in Work Capability form & attend another stressful assessment. If awarded TORY DWP force a 90 day period before payment
@NeilCouling 6. Remember, the Tory DWP already have all the medical info on record of the legacy benefit so this is just an exercise in cruel bullying to try & deprive them of the support. NI fund is plundered to pay the bounties set on each sick or disabled person's head to Maximus & Capita!
@NeilCouling While Neil Couling brags about the number of people now driven into the poverty of UC imagine the absolute hell an acid burn victim was put through by Maximus who assessed her fit to work.Months later a tribunal overturned their cruel decision in minutes amp.theguardian.com/society/2019/a…
