There have been calls today for IDS to resign over the despicable results of people that have died, after being found fit for work.
What is basically happening, is that if you can get to these medicals, or even walk up stairs, and you are claiming some sort of sickness benefit. Then you can go back to work.
I strongly believe that if your GP or Hospital Doctor states that you are medically unfit for work,. Then that is it.
You should not have to be forced to go to a government doctor, and then they OVERRULE you Gp or Dr.
What this government should do, is find another way over stopping benefits being sent abroad. From people claiming here.
Its a disgrace, and he wont go. But something has to be done to stop this barbaric medical system from continuing to cause grief

All the GP can do is repeat what the patient has said and repeat what the consultants may have said. They do not test what you can or cannot do. They are expected to believe you as theoretically you have no reason to lie. With benefits being involved the reasons for lying arise. A diagnosed condition can affect people in different ways.
Every death in the report refers to somebody receiving ESA/IB/SDA at the time. IT DOES NOT REFER TO JSA CLAIMANTS WHO HAD THEIR ESA STOPPED. It refers to "flowed off ESA" which means stopped claiming ESA when they died. If it had said "flowed off JSA" it might have been different.
