Sicknote crackdown will hit 30,000 in Hampshire
A Government crackdown on benefits will hit more than 30,000 claimants acorss Hampshire, it has been revealed. From October next year individuals applying for incapacity benefits will be asked to undertake a new test to establish what they are capable of doing, rather than simply having their disabilities measured, Work and Pensions Secretary Peter Hain said yesterday. The new regime, which will initially cover only new claimants, will eventually be imposed on all those receiving incapacity support. As of May this year there were more than 30,000 such people in south west Hampshire - including nearly 10,000 in Southampton. The harder test will assess claimants' abilities to perform certain work-related tasks, such as using a computer keyboard and mouse.
