My doctor would not sign my passport application when i asked because he said it was not part of his job role, which was to cure people's illnesses. Sso why should he spend time filling out forms and writing letters to the benefit office.
Because it harms the patient and therefore breaches the Hippocratic oath. The end results could lead a mentally ill patient to suicide or other forms of harm. Making sure you can go abroad is totally different

ATOS are working to DWP / Gov guidelines the policies ATOS are following are not theirs there prime purpose in life is to get people off ESA/incap and onto JSA in a cash cutting ploy.

A recent documentary shows that there is 1 job for every 5 applicants however a lot of applicants for these jobs are already in employment and looking to move. Lower paid less skilled jobs have seen approx 45 applicants per job so the urinating in the wind continues

The long term unemployed IMO should be allowed a year in full time education and as long as they apply themselves and turn up then they should get benefits at least this way there will be more people with training available later on

And so I will again repeat myself. ESA and Incap is less than 10 billion a year this year the government have given away 11 billion in foreign aid and the state pension has cost 75 billion. ATOS themselves have 3 billion in gov contracts

It is no wonder IDS and Cameron's shoes are wet I tell you
