Absolutely correct, by fair or foul means too. They even get their friends in the private sector to do their dirty work for them, paid for by the taxpayer of course. These private companies, paid for by the results that the Tories want to see, have no place in the benefit assessment process:

This woman took them to court because of the affect that their behaviour had on her. When a court awarded her compensation, they continued making things difficult by ignoring it. It was only when debt collectors were called in that they paid up.
Presumably to 'punish' the woman, the DWP called her in for another assessment within days. An MP had to become involved as she wasn't due to be reassessed again until 2023.
When asked why they had done this, they 'declined to apologise to her' and simply spewed out the usual corporate waffle that's expected these days from public servants expected to properly serve the public who pay their wages & elect the MP's who ultimately employ them.
