Not sure how all this stuff works but it sounds like folk with genuine disabilities are getting shafted severely which seems very unfair.
How come folk that seem to have nothing wrong with them can still carry on as normal.
I know of two people in this area who haven't worked for decades yet can play golf, play Frisbee, erect fences, lay paving slabs, wander round pool tables in the pub for hours on end and get free motability vehicles every few years but can't work!
They have been reported numerous times and still naff all happens to them......hows that then? |
Resonators and Ufips....just beautiful. www.vintageolympic.co.uk
Rotocasting is definitely the pinnacle of cymbal manufacture!

It is incredible. The HUGE amount of money this programme has already cost and will continue to cost is grossly at odds with how much it saves.
It is designed and run to make it look like the Government is tackling fakers and shirkers, but it is mostly pouring insult and injury onto those who least need it.
It is equivalent to banning all British drivers from driving for hypothetical/alleged Drink Driving offences, then allowing them all to appeal, and 70%-80% of them subsequently being proved to be innocent after all.
Why not get each claimant to get their Doctor to sign a small form with a REAL medical diagnosis and send it to DWP to say if the claimant is or is not genuinely disabled, and not self-inflicted disability such as drink, drugs or over-indulging in fatty foods. After all, they have to have REAL Doctors at all the Appeals! That way they could cut out Atos and all the other tendering companies.
That article suggests the final cost could be ONE BILLION POUNDS. I reckon it will probably save under 10 million.
Even the Brain-Dead Blonde T*sspot in City Hall has figured out it is a seriously bad programme! |
