This weekend, thousands of disabled people will take to the streets to protest against cuts to disability benefit as part of the Hardest Hit campaign. They say that as the coalition attempts to cut costs by measures outlined in the living allowance bill, they will be the ones worst affected.
In this week's Focus podcast, Hugh Muir visits David, who is blind, to find out how the new system will affect him. He also meets Benji, who has severe learning difficulties. His mother is concerned that the end of the Disability Living Allowance will mean Benji loses quality of life, and only his basic needs will be met.
To debate the issue, Hugh is joined by social affairs editor Randeep Ramesh; Neil Coyle, the director of policy at Disability Alliance; and Matthew Sinclair, the director of the pressure group Taxpayers Alliance.
