LETTERS: 'I Was Made To Go Through Interrogation By The State'

LETTERS: ‘I was made to go through interrogation by the state’
The [UK] government has shifted the purpose of disability benefits.
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) was about helping people with disabilities maintain their quality of life. Now the Personal Independence Payment (Pip) assessments are designed to terrorise people.
I received the result of my Pip assessment last week—my benefits are to be cut.
I’ve got severe ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, and since the last assessment I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD.
