How come the disabled and the chronically ill are being included in the rollout of Universal credit when the benefit has been rolled out as a benefit to help people make work pay? It is stated that this benefit is to help people improve their lot through hard work. However a lot of chronically ill and disabled people are not able to work so why are they put on it?
