Pointed here by merrythebard. I'm appalled. It was bad enough at the time when I was applying for benefits; I didn't realise it had managed to get even worse. You have my very deepest sympathy.
(For the record, I had to live on the charity of friends and relations for some considerable time because one lot of DWPeople decided I was disabled and therefore couldn't claim ordinary unemployment benefit, while the other lot decided that I wasn't disabled and therefore couldn't claim Income Support. The situation was eventually resolved and I was declared to be, in fact, disabled, but I never got any retrospective payments from them to compensate for their foul-up.)
