I this tonight on the web. There is no end of attacks by Labour on the sick and disabled.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants are set to be probed about how they spend the benefit. The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed a new government survey will be carried out after they announced plans to cut social welfare expenditure.
