To get the benefit, you must attend the interview. Yet, attending the interview is evidence that you are not sick enough for the benefit. "Witch" trials by drowning, anyone?

Contacted my new Labour MP (who has been encouraging contact) just under two months ago. No reply whatsoever. One step down from the unhelpful replies I would at least receive from the previous Conservative.
