On the other hand you would need to believe that he would full-fill the promise. After all, this is the government that reduced the pension to new pensioners in the current term of office, and brought in the policy of the "desk check".

I've heard of cases where this included the ruling that a Juvenile Diabetes patient had a "non-permanent condition", or that my back was going to go from "current: 0 hours work capacity" to "1-6 months: full time work capacity". All without the benefit of an examination.
