Everytime they tell you about the 22 million people on benefits, remember that 3/4's 15.5m are Pensioners.

files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/5026... This is what disabled children in Derbyshire have had to put up with for years. The gaslighting, lying, ignoring, dismissing and even fraud has been left unchecked for far too long. The trauma in parents who have chosen to fight is very real.
