I have a lot of sympathy for this amendment, particularly in relation to the support group, who I understand will be a relatively small group of extremely disabled people. They are likely to have considerable costs attached to their disabilities. Have the Government considered the impact on that particular group of having to wait for 13 weeks before they get the benefit to which they will subsequently be deemed entitled?
