Yet again This just proves how inept this system really is! I cannot still understand why a french company are in charge of the situation, that leaves disabled members of our society in such need. I am registered disabled and my own case took over 12 months to resolve, thank God my wife was working or I would of been in a terrible mess. I think the time as come for a Very close look at this diabolical state of affairs.

You really think it’s easier to lobby London from Benbecula than it would be to lobby Edinburgh from Benbecula? Even just considering travel that adds several hundred pounds of money and lets say 2 more days travelling (if you’re capable of travelling).
For the Western Isles, the MP’s office is in… wait for it… London. The MSP for the Western Isles is in… Stornoway.
I don’t think ANYone is suggesting a land of milk and honey but it WILL bring the centre of power much closer to the people of Scotland.

Is Mr Macneil more concerned about his constituents wellbeing or the opportunity for a soundbite!

Can’t imagine the welfare system would be any better under the SNP than it would be under Labour or the Tories. Imagine they would blame shortcomings under their predecessors.
