Re: Goverments Attack on the Disabled?
Derek i normally agree with most of your views usually on crime but on this sorry but your totally wrong the medical assessment system currently being used is a complete disgrace and isn't designed to do anything but class everyone as fit for purpose. I recently had an appointment with atos and the person i saw had never even heard of my condition so how the hell can they know what impact it has on me or my daily life or how it limits me and the answer was and ids that they didn't.
If you want to remove the genuinely disabled from the frauds the means to do it exist already most people with a genuine problem will be under the care of a consultant even if the exact problem hasn't been determined they will be seeing a consultant. So instead of handing large cheques to atos to run their usual farce remove all those currently under a consultant because trust me of all the consultants i have seen (sadly quite a few) none of them have been the type to maintain a patient they didn't believe had a genuine problem.
Here's the thing for me everyone wants all these frauds off the benefit system and is supporting the medical reasssessments to supposedly do this but these medicals cost the government more then a years benefit to do and they are neither done well or hold up on close examination with the decision being overturned in i think the current rate is about 74-75% of the time which again costs the government more money so the actual savings here are non existent.
As for the daily mail is there really anything i can say about this complete **** of a paper that hasn't been said before i don't think there is they are the perfect example of the "we will tell you who to be scared of and make some stuff up to scare you with" there is, they are one of the biggest problems in this country and in my mind far more of a problem then the minority of cheats in the benefit system.
