Definitely worth a watch on iplayer. Honestly, it's nothing we dont already know, but it was great to hear them talking about it on mainstream TV.

Assessors and DWP automatically seem to assume that if a person works then they can't be disabled. And a disability 'expert' on a tribunal panel assumed that someone capable of putting in ear-rings couldn't be disabled - though they might have been playing devil's advocate. I understand that tribunals do challenge claimants to test their statements about their disabilities.
So if you are challenged by tribunal members, don't be upset or offended, just stick to your guns. They might just be testing you, not calling you a liar or a cheat.0
