What makes me MAD is
Sometimes the New Rules are bollocks I personally do not agree with ATOS doctors employed by the
Government to make a decision for some illnesses as I know someone who has crohn's disease and they were took off ESA because of them and because of this decision they made her condition worse because of the stress they induced on them. They landed in hospital because of a flare up. This person needs B12 injection every 10 weeks because they had a bowel resection as her body cannot absorb B12 through food intake they also suffer increased vulnerability to infections...
They also have thinning and weakening of the bones (osteopenia and osteoporosis) this was because of long term use of steroids through this really horrid illness, she appealed and won but it was at the cost of her health as while in hospital
they put her on a thing called the elemental diet to rest her bowel but it took 4 weeks in hospital before she was discharged through the stress all this had caused at the hands of the ATOS doctor and his decision. This doctor spent all but 30 minutes with them and assessed them fit for work... despite their specialist and own doctor disagreeing with him how he came up with that decision is really beyond me and something I will never understand. They appealed and won and the award given to them was indefinite they were also awarded DLA middle rate because of the attention they needed at night something they had thought they could not claim for as they had been told they would not get, without these benefits they would be snookered as they really are not fit to work...It really makes me so
MAD that someone can take someone who really needs benefits off them, if she could work she would but unfortunately they could never hold down a job also this illness is through no fault of her own something she was born with so...what they need to realise is that some people who claim
NEED THEM AND ARE NOT PLAYING ON THEIR ILLNESS THEY ARE ILL
