Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
So Marty you think someone with terminal cancer couple of months left to live is fit for work because atos have how about an elderly woman riddled with arthritis who refused to climb a set of stairs having her benefit cut because atos labelled her "uncooperative" and there are many more examples feel free to Google. Pierre most assessors at atos are not doctors never have been some only have whatever medical experience the atos training program gives them which is very little as the training program is more concerned about filling In the forms correctly dispatches showed that.
As it is now the work capability assessment is not fit for purpose and it hasn't been for quite sometime not only my opinion but also the opinion of the guy who helped originally create it. Also why shouldn't extreme examples be used by the claimant side the government and media do it all the time to "highlight" the need for reform so what's good for them and all that.
