posting on behalf of someone whos just failed a medical with a certain company ( cant name them because of legal action being taken) , they where given 9 points for their physical disability and 0 for their mental health problems , finding out their childrens stepfather has just been arrested and charged with abusing them is heartbreaking, scoring 0 points for the effect this has had on them is disgusting , losing £40 a week (from £96) and being told they may have to go for job interviews defies belief.
