Parking the Disabled

With only half of all people with disabilities in work, Sam Poling asks whether the government's billion-pound welfare reforms will solve the problem of disability unemployment.

In Scotland only half of all people with a disability are in work. BBC Scotland investigates if one of the Government's most ambitious welfare reforms, costing billions of pounds, can solve the problem of disability unemployment. Reporter Sam Poling reveals the private companies who are getting rich from the new reforms despite only being able to get a small fraction of disabled people back to work, and speaks to the charities who feel the most vulnerable in our society are being failed.
