  'Words' will always be a problem or an issue or a sticking point...
  Claim and award are two such sticky words. If one is disabled can it be said that one merely claims to be so, or is disability an award of some sort?
  If we stick with 'disability'.
  Could we agree that there are two main types of (non employable) disability;permanent (chronic) and temporary (acute).
  If so, can we not exclude the 'chronic' from incessant employment capability tests and simply make provision for their education (physical and mental), an education that could lead them into money making of some sort, but would certainly help with their quality of life. [no claim, no award]
  Now to the 'acute';the broken leg, the serious illness etc. and their respective periods of recuperation. The recovery of full fitness in such cases will differ from case to case, individual to individual, but will in all cases be overseen by the GP. [no claim, no award]
  
  So much for the easy stuff.
  What of their needs?
  I'm fairly sure that it was the Greens who put forward the idea of Universal Welfare, where each of us is deemed to get some set amount. With those earning above this amount get no help and those earning below get some help. Certainly an idea like this would sweep aside all further wrangling.
  
  Are you with me Ken?
