Not being on benefits I would not know the true fairness of the system but going by what I read and have heard it does seem unfair to declare people for work who clearly cannot hold down a job due to being ill, but if I were ill or disabled and ATOS declared me fit when I clearly was not fit for work due to an illness or disability, then I would class them as liars. Like I say I know there are some people who claim that should not be on benefits, but to class all the same is wrong especially when medical evidence suggests otherwise just my opinion. I do realise it must be hard and really difficult task to run a system that is fair but when the evidence is clear that someone is ill, I am at a loss as why to declare them fit for work surely this costs more in the long run...
