That's why I'm not on about mental health I agree it's a minefield I'm talking about chronic psychical problems like Parkinson's, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, ankylosing spondylitis and cystic fibrosis. People with chronic forms of all those conditions have been recently classed as fit for work with far more then just a GP to vouch for their condition. Their appeals for those lucky to have a date are in two years time and when they win as they will they will get sent back for reassessment and back on the merry go round we go. There are many good ideas in the world with lousy implementation and these so called reforms are a prime example. Cannot argue with the language or the base principle and if you don't bother to pay attention to the implementation alls good I guess but the reality is these reforms are totally missing the worst abusers of the system and are hitting non abusers.

Please don't give me the "few innocents will be hit" line as when dealing with chronic conditions an abundance of information and evidence is made available problem is many assessors are not doctors or even medical personnel they just went through the company's assessment training course. They don't want to admit they don't understand the information or know it at all so just give a mark regardless. I want reform, I want a system that is fair to both those who receive it and those whose contributions make it possible but this isn't it and everyone deserves better considering the sums of money involved are not small.
