The census allows you to determine for yourself whether you’re disabled or not, without the usual kind of interrogation. I’ve written to David Cameron and Iain Duncan Smith telling them I’ve found a way to save them squillions of pounds on the DWP budget: simply remove the complex assessments in favour of a straightforward Yes / No tickbox. After all, if it’s good enough for the census it must be good enough for the DWP, right? I think the political mood is behind me on this one. I feel sure we’re onto a winner.
