It will be interesting after the para's of how many athletes will have their DLA/PIP stripped away because the governmentwill no doubt deem them all Fit for work and if not why not as they meet the Atos criteria for the new assessment. They must fit into society and their disability will not be looked at just their ability.

They are still entitled to workand recieve Dla or PIP according to the criteria to be met so lets cheer them on and really hope that because of their funding and achievements they are not held up over this
