Disability benefits: Court to rule on delay test case - BBC News
The High Court is expected to rule later on whether the government took too long to process benefit claims by two disabled people.
The unnamed pair waited nine months for Personal Independence Payments (PIPs), and they say this left them dependent on loan sharks and food banks.
They claim the delay was unlawful.
At least 4,500 people have waited more than a year to have their claims processed, and tens of thousands more have waited more than 20 weeks.( that would make unemployment, figgers look better, when 10 of thousands on the side line.)
