I do hope that The BBC will give the same equivilent air time to those subjected to ATOS and DWP investigation where they they subjected to verbal examinations to determine their disability.

Under the ridiculous points system, benefits are withdrawn from rightful recipients, only to have them reinstated by the independent Tribunal some months later. By that time the regulations regarding benefits have removed the possibility of claiming benefits for 6 months.

I appreciate that there are any number of fraudulent recipients of benefits as there are in any walk of life and the book should be thrown at them but there are many on work based benefits and Disabled benefits who are increasingly being demonised as scroungers by large parts of the media and a considerable amount of the public when they are nothing of the sort.
