Thing is, with this and all other welfare stories, it's up to the media editors what gets published or not. I've heard so many journalists say their copy was refused because their editors were afraid of overkill and pissing off audiences. Doesn't meant they don't keep the info gathered for the next big break though.
Exactly..........Yeah, when will that be though?
Someone, other than investigative TV journalists(25), needs to be asking what was the ultimate goal, and who were to be the undoubted beneficiaries of this government funded medical tyranny, imported from America, against the most vulnerable people in our society?
Unum’s unacceptable influence with successive UK governments was recently exposed at the Liberal Democrat Conference by the courageous young Mr George Potter.(26)
If only the political leaders of the Liberal Democrats enjoyed some of the courage displayed by George Potter, millions of chronically sick and disabled people would no longer need to live in fear of this coalition government, that has totally failed to protect them, despite the claims by Liberal Democrat leaders.
George Potter, the Liberal Democrat activist who devised the motion, said that, although Liberal Democrats had ensured some improvements to the government’s welfare reforms – including the independent Harrington reviews of the WCA – disabled people were still “suffering right now because of what we have done in government”.
He also drew the attention of party members to the influence of the US insurance company Unum – which has been criticised for influencing welfare reform over two decades and then profiting from those policies – and which “sat on the committees which designed the assessment systems”.
His motion criticised the last Labour government for “relying too heavily” on “advice from private companies with a potential financial interest” in the outcomes of welfare policies affecting disabled people.
And he praised the investigative research of the disabled activist Mo Stewart, who has tried to expose the role of Unum in influencing welfare reform and has contributed to several Disability News Service (DNS) stories.
Let me have my tea, and I'll have a check for you. If you or Bakunin can PM me any medical conditions he has, it will make it easier for me to work through the DWP paperwork labyrinth.my search is failing me, can someone find the link to who is entitled to home assessment and who needs to be assessed by a doctor. bakunin has his dla assessment coming up soon, bloody again, he only had his appeal where it was awarded indefinately in january

I'm not feeling very lovely to be honest, I had a shitty day at work and ended up phoning someone's boss to tell him to get his engineer off my case, that I couldn't do what he wanted and what he wanted was technically and physically impossible anyway, AND I was up to my eyes in sorting out other problems for this guy at the same time.You're so good eg

Give me a few minutes, I'll get a ball of string to help me find my way out of the DWP internet maze.
Right, has he had the appointment letter for the assessment yet?thanks hun. didn't need this today. my job ended on tuesday and i need to find something that will support both of us, either through half decent pay or more likely, very long hours. i cannot face the stress of signing on and signing him onto esa. i'm stressing about uni stuff and now i've got this. the doors that having dla open for us into extra tax credits and other things that allow us to keep heads above water. I think he will loose the mobility, but we need the lower rate care.

but despite himself, he's made some wrong calls on this. he already did so by filling in the forms himself without any assistance. i think there's a point where he thinks he has to cope on his own, so tries to do everyting. and he nods aggreement to things sometimes without thinking of the consequences cause he dosen't want to be difficult. this dosen't always do him any favours.

I have noticed that the www.direct.gov.uk website has been 'overhauled' and a lot of information seems to have disappeared or been moved. I haven't come across an automatic home visit list yet but will keep looking.
This could, just have legs.
Massive injustice to humans: "meh". Fraudulent tendering for a contract: possible massive fine, and the contract ought to be revoked.
You state in the Guardian that you would be prepared to work with ATOS on the PIP tests.
You do realise that those you represent, disability activists and even politicians want these tests stopped and charities who collude with Atos and the DWP only hinder the struggle against these ideological and brutal assessments.
These assessments will never be fair while they are being used to cut money from the welfare budget rather than assisting people into work. The deaths related to these tests are increasing as more people are forced throught them.
Please rethink your stance on this and help those who wish an end to this unfair and costly, in lives and money, process.

he cannot reliably do a cooked main meal unsupervised, unsafe with a stove and forgets, i can tach him recipies, basic skills, but he is still unsafe using a stove on his own when he forgets he is cooking, therefore he does not do this sutff if i'm not in the house. there is also an arguement for needing supervision to keep out of danger, this is solved by my living with him and reminding him about stuff, but on his own he has got into a state without someone to keep an eye on him.he got into a state with visits from support workers every 2 days. he can't live on his own.
as far as i'm aware, it's abut what he can do. i give him a list, he does this while i'm at work. am i right in thinking this is about his abulity on his own, not what he does when i'm there to keep an eye on him? they can't claim he dosen't need this because i'm there to remind him and that is generally enough for him to cope?
oh ffs. son didn't take his ritalin today and i'm trying to do all this with him making odd noises in the background. he has just bounced into the room holding a game boy and yelling 'herpes'.

Unfortunately, that's the default position for a significant minority of claimants when faced with the farcical parade of bullshit and vindictiveness known as DWP "best practice".
And boy are they glad about it. Makes it so much easier to achieve those claimant-reduction targets they swear blind they don't have.
