Breaking News as such but seems 40% of carer allowance recipients may lose out.

Nope don't concur I think politicians should be honest about the possible options in the run up to an election and have the guts to defend their ideas and way of thinking.
The tories have been handicapped throughout their time in government
Election starting to get nasty.
Election starting to focus on the key issues don't you mean?
Yep and if even just some of them yield under the financial pressures and give up their caring duties then watch the burden and strain on the NHS and local social care increase dramatically.
How bloody hilarious!!!!!!!!! This is about issues rather than how a man eats. You lot have no shame.
been easier selling just the labour plan of axing winter fuel etc
Removing contribution based jsa will hit a lot of people.
If true this is quite sad and I don't say this because of my political views
I'm talking about the leaking of papers
So what? Should this not be out in the open? We, the electorate, own the government not the other way round.
All parties indulge in leaks so your moral outrage particularly if it's partisan is misplaced.
It must be a very deep-seated hatred of Labour for some people, to still vote Conservative when they are clearly planning to turn you over.
Just passing comment.:)
Struggle to see how some of those idea's work
People in the Support Group of contribution based ESA (ie those with the most serious illnesses and disabilities) already get substantially less than those on income based ESA so to even consider stopping contribution based ESA altogether beggars belief. We already know how cruel they are by the time limiting of ESA for those in the WRAG but to take contribution based ESA away from those in the Support Group (who did the right thing, often in extremely difficult circumstances) would be nothing short of evil.
Chronically ill and seriously disabled people of working age have been battered by this government and, although we do not yet know whether these proposals will definitely happen, it seems inevitable that Cameron's Tories will continue to go after their favourite targets.
Many of them won't work but at least we know why in recent weeks they've been reluctant to outline them.Leaving making a final decision until after the election and sticking to the script that these are just options strikes me as disingenuous and out of order in the context of an election.
Evil and dispicable are the right words.
You've got to be pretty gullible to think leaked documents means anything more than one party smearing another.
Shameful to attack carers if it occurred - carers save the NHS a and social services billions by their work as otherwise the state would have to do the caring.
Scrap that stupid 'let's give £3k bribes to people to fund their house deposits' scheme instead. That is due to cost £1bn a year - and is just another unnecessary middle class subsidy to bribe people to vote Tory.
