Description

Government fitness to work tests are failing to take account of the medical history of people suffering mental health problems, say campaigners. The result is that people are losing benefits. One father says his son killed himself after being told that he no longer qualified for employment and support allowance, which replaced incapacity benefit.



Also, acid attacks - the new weapon being used by gangs. Contrary to popular belief - it's men who are the victims of most acid attacks in the UK.
