43-year old, father-of-one and former school caretaker, Ian, scored zero points in his Employment and Support Allowance assessment, despite a catalogue of impairments. As a result, his benefits were cut. His son says, “My dad was not a benefit cheat. Out of that £80 a fortnight, he had to pay his Council Tax, utility bills and rent, pay for food for him and his dog, and try and find work. It was impossible. In less than a year he ended up looking like a concentration camp prisoner.”
