A former minister told the BBC it is easy to ‘game’ the PIP form based on knowing what to fill in
This is untrue.
PIP forms are not only notoriously difficult to fill in but require huge swaths of evidence - and even then many people don’t get what they are due until tribunal.

Eurgh, there was a "do I need to use the mic?" guy.
Everyone said it was fine, but I took too long to process the question (bc that's harder for me without the mic) so didn't have a chance to object before he launched into the talk.
Seriously folks, just always use the mic.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify the type of image: hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.
