They're also saying people should be given weight loss jabs to get them back to work. :facepalm: Labour have always been obsessed with this stuff though, the ATOS Assessments all started with them I think.

Let's face it, "hard working families" is a pretty nondenominational utterance. Also it wasn't the Tories who introduced fitness for work tests thing in 2008 and gave the contract to ATOS so it is totally on brand for Labour.

mod feel free to ask questions on the pinned ATOS thread on politics. There's generally some posters there who can help. My advice is don't attempt to complete the form all at once. It can be a soul destroying experience due to the way things need to be be worded. Especially don't be all...

...the first party to break from the benefit scrounger consensus and scrapped their previous mass workfare policies instead calling for an end to Atos assessments amongst other things. The proposal to raise the tax threshold to £20k suggests thinking in that direction as well, as does scrapping...

By the by, getting fucking sick of seeing Atos adverts at the Euros.

...[sick notes] away from GPs and on to “specialist” work and health professionals." (I'm going to assume he means those picked by the likes of ATOS and CAPITA, who have been - very often wrongly - "assessing" people for years now. There's always money to be spent on outsourcing, just not for...

Rumour has it atos has the contract

Has anyone had an Ingeus assessment yet? They are taking over PIP assessments and WCA from Atos in London and the South East at some point in 2024, not quite sure when.

Done. https://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/post-office-fujitsu-horizon-tech-talk.383978/

This reminds of my own deep dive into the software used by Atos for those wretched assessments. I found out a lot of horrifying things about the process, like it was based on a series of drop down menus and ignored anything reported on free text boxes. Where all the pertinent info was being...

I don’t have a front garden anyway

TBF I think the OP is being unfair on herself on thinking that her paving over her front lawn is going to have any detrimental effect on preventing flooding in the local area. The failure of the local water companies to properly invest in drainage so they can use the money for shareholder...

Not just passports: Invaders calling on Melitopol residents to change their Ukrainian surnames to Russian ones

Block to Block is on youtube now - definitely worth a watch if you have a spare half hour or so, short documentary on Manchester's housing crisis and tenant resistance: "Over the last couple of decades, the face of Manchester has been irreversibly changed. Skyhigh tower blocks are thrown up in...

Automation makes a difference. There's a reason why 3 of the top 4 are ATO lines and the other runs out into Buckinghamshire.

The top three wouldn't surprise any proper Tube geek. While it crawls centrally, the Met gets up to 50mph out in the sticks and there are a lot of sticks. Victoria has always been fast, as the stations are well-spaced and it was designed for high acceleration/braking under automated train...

This thread is good for advice about filling in forms and the assessment process if you end up applying for ESA. Depending on how your illness affects you, you may also be eligible for PIP (personal independence payment) assuming you aren't already getting that - unlike ESA it's not...

That only follows if your mind follows the most pedestrian arguments. For example Ukraine seems to have intercepted lots of kalibr missiles but anti-ship missiles with their lower flight altitude might be more likely to arrive. And anyway it seems the Ukrainians are saying you're wrong Russians...

The vicious scapegoating continues apace. The Telegraph have got another similar article up today in their "business" section, complete with graphs and a map to incite their readers to blame disabled and poor people for the UK's economic woes. Note the word "battle" in the headline. The...
