You're not allowed to be sick any more
Okay, the UK has now become Airstrip One. Not content with deciding that the DWP know better than doctors, now they're doing away with fit notes (forgot to note the URL, sorry).
Listen 'ere, Government: for the last time, 1984 was intended as satire and warning, and is not - do you get this? NOT - an instruction manual! Orwell must be spinning in his grave at Standard by Fifteen!
They'll be calling themselves Miniplenty before you know it! They're already Minitrue! How long before falling ill becomes a criminal offence?

If you've ever been through a DWP PIP assessment, you'll know how their "medical professionals" are there to try their utmost to prevent you from being awarded PIP.
The trouble with Fit Notes is that many GPs will sign you as not fit for work with no deep investigation, and some will do so without ever seeing you, mainly because they think they are not paid enough to provide the service.

Yep, it's all probably done on the statistics of patients seen (and diagnosed) per hour, and as we all know, the higher the figure the better the 'achievement' statistics the Government can boast about

They said that to my grandad, a week later he was dead due to cancer.
I never met him as he died 6 weeks before I arrived.
