These safeguards are not in place. There are documented deaths. The noose is about to be tightened further. This has nothing to do with preventing fraud, and everything to do with considering support of sick and disabled people to be an unnecessary extravagance - a Victorian mindset.

I'm in a similar position to mr_s_face (actually better off because I own a house), and the system already nearly killed me. I suffered badly from the impact of 'back to work' bullying in the wrong ESA group before being saved by the skin of my teeth by an extraordinary GP who did what most refuse to do (because of the huge workload burden), wrote to them supporting my case, and declared me too unwell for in-person WCAs (which, by the way, one can be immediately re-subjected to should one win an appeal, and they can demand WCAs as often as they like as a deterrent measure against qualifying people continuing to claim). I could receive a letter about re-assessment any day, and with it the likelihood of some, most, or all my income being removed, even though neither cure nor return to work are possible for me. I don't have the strength to fight through appeals, re-assessments, re-applications.

For us, and many like us, this election result really is a disaster.
