The short answer to this is no, anyone claiming Incapacity Benefit will be transferred to Employment and Support Allowance and will have to take part in the Work Capability Assessment. The transfer of Incapacity Benefit claimants onto Employment and Support Allowance has already started in Aberdeen and Burnley and that process is about to be rolled out across the whole of the country. From April this year the DWP are planning to assess 7000 Incapacity Benefit claimants per week with the figure rising to 11000 claimants per week from May. Anyone claiming Severe Disablement Allowance or Income Support on the grounds of sickness will also be part of this reassessment process.

"Yesterday Chancellor George Osborne was named top tax shirker in our online poll. He gained 2215 votes - 35% of the total - placing him well ahead of his nearest rival, Arcadia tycoon Sir Philip Green, who attracted 1057 votes. Campaigners from PCS, War on Want, UK Uncut and False Economy presented the prize, a giant jammy dodger, at Tory party headquarters in London's Millbank."
A Big Brother Watch co-conspiritor added: "Isn't it good to see that our freedom-loving government have thrown out those plans for keeping giant databases of information about us?"
