Dr Maria Read said the Dovercourt Surgery at Sky Edge where she worked was braced to deal with more patients as the changes were introduced at the same time as bills were increasing.

Maria de Andrade, from Pontprennau, Cardiff, admitted to going over the limit and was not surprised people had been caught breaking the limit.

Maria - the parent of one of the 39 affected Whitefield pupils - said ministers "have seen the footage and said 'this can't happen again' - and yet there's no change."

Maria Town, president and chief executive of the American Assn. of People with Disabilities, told The Times that the system changes were not only hurting people’s ability to sign up and enroll for benefits.
