@SallyKent Perhaps more apropos is that the #UKgov claim folk on ‘ #LegacyBenefits ‘ could not be given any #Covid19-support, unlike able-bodied citizens, because their computer-system couldnæ cope, is arguably untrue: they could have upped the #ChristmasPayment from £10 to an annualised equivalent. Ditto in re making a one-off payment for extra #energy costs, which again fit & healthy folk receive, but long-term #disabled &/or sick do not!

The DWP was back in court again. How many more legal challenges must people bring?
