List of those for whom Welfare Reform and cuts were too much to bear

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Last time I had one of these ESA forms it was three months after my last medical. I answered every single question with I HAVE A PROGRESSIVE CONDITION AND I TOLD YOU THIS SHIT THREE MONTHS AGO. Then on the other info you'd like to tell us about page I wrote something like IM GONNA FUCKING KILL MYSELF TO HELP YOUR FUCKING DEFECIT CONGRATULATIONS !! YOU WIN!!!!

They'll probably send you another form soon

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I'd told them I'd send them my diseased, cancerous liver and told them they can assess that.

Got the idea from you.

ah, but you've got a new healthy liver now haven't you, so you and your liver can get your arse out there and find yourself a job you lazy scrounger

Like teeps, I wrote on my last ESA form in CAPS.
NB I'VE GOT MS AND IT AIN'T GONNA IMPROVE - WHERE'S THE BOX TO TICK PLEASE?

I dunno, I didn't even get a medical after that form, think I got put in the liability pile. I'll just write the same shit on it the next time. I don't even give a fuck anymore. I did start working (FORCED TO WHORE MYSELF ON CAMERA ON THE INTERNET CUS IT'S THE ONLY THING I CAN FUCKING DO, NO I DONT PARTICULARLY LIKE IT, BUT I HATE ATOS MORE THAN LOOKING AT MEN RUBBING THEIR COCKS ON A FUCKING WELL AGED SPUNK RAG) but I'm well too ill atm cus I've just had a massive relapse, even though that's the case when I get off holiday I'm still gonna ram dildos up my pussoir in an attempt to earn enough to tell those fucks to fuck the fuck off.

They rang up (to check if I was in the house I reckon and not living like a millionaire on my benefits)and said they'd send a form in six to eight weeks after I had surgery. I laughed at the woman on the phone and told her she could send it if she liked.

Don't even know what form it is supposed to be.

 

[Firky]

I bet there's some fucking journo cunt from the Guardian reading this with a big fucking grin on their face, 'oohh this could get me half a page spread on the inside cover'.

FUCK OFF YOU GHOULS.

I've missed your posts on Urb teeps

And here's a right strange one on the form:

Q15 - Going out

Can you leave home and go to places you know if someone goes with you - No, Yes, It Varies

Can you leave home and go to places you don't know if someone goes with you - Usually, Not Very Often, It Varies

Where's the option for NO or NEVER?

I had to leave that unticked as NEVER wasn't an option and Usually, Not Very Often and It Varies doesn't apply. Only NEVER applies

You should send them some pictures of your employment and what you've had to resort to, except they'd probably enjoy it

Probably the ESA to see if you're fit for work

 

[Firky]

Fit for work, six weeks after having one of the most major forms of surgery you can have, more major than a heart and lung transplant or a triple by-pass, and they think I will be ready for work... it beggars belief.

Yeah am fine, you know - chemotherapy, RFA, transplantation, auto-immune suppression, chronic fatigue... it's not an obstacle at all.

Course it isn't. Your middle fingers works doesn't it? You can therefore press a button

Alternatively

but the assessor may not be happy

 

[Firky]

Newcastle Social Services, to their credit, have been doing most of it for me. I wouldn't have got DLA if it wasn't for them.

Good for them. Should be interesting to see how they tackle the ESA form

Got the idea from you.

TBF you should get your ma to buy a couple of pound of really manky ox liver, full of tubes and stuff, stick it in a placcy bag, and post it off to them with a note saying "here it is, just as I promised. BTW, turns out I had the whole hepatitis alphabet. LOL".

Agree treelover. This thread is open to public view I think and has been linked to on a fair few places recently.

Not sure where to put this:

a*os closes down Carerwatch. While the site is up again, it is absolutely dead. No one is posting and they seem to have taken it to facebook.

Dad committed suicide after housing benefit cut, having been told he would have to leave his training course to continue to get JSA (and presumably housing benefit).

A desperate man who lined up three kitchen knives before stabbing himself twice in the heart, blamed cuts in housing benefit.

Unemployed Richard Sanderson took his own life after writing three suicide notes which were laid out neatly on a bed in a meticulously planned act.

In one to his wife he wrote: “Don’t come into the bathroom, this time I will most certainly be deceased”.

Mr Sanderson, who said he could not face the thought of his family being homeless, stabbed himself twice in the heart with a kitchen knife on May 29 at home in Augustus Road, Southfields, after years of being unable to find work finally took its toll, an inquest heard.

The 44-year-old former helicopter pilot wrote three suicide notes – two for his wife, Petra, and one for the police – after carefully planning the suicide over several days.

This followed a failed attempt less than a year earlier.

After returning a verdict of suicide at Westminster Coroner’s Court on Tuesday, August 23, Dr Fiona Wilcox said: “What I find particularly tragic in this case is this act appears to be pursued by a man who was not suffering from an illness and appears to have made a considered act in response to his inability to find employment.

“The fact his housing benefit was about to be cut and the family would be at risk of having nowhere to live, and being ordered to give up his training course because of the Job Centre's rules, would appear to be especially poignant and tragic.”

He's mentioned in the OP

 

[BigTom]

oh, I only heard about it over the weekend, I guess the coroner has just reported on it, which is why it's news again. Nasty. especially if the bit about not suffering from an illness is true, rational suicide to make sure his kid(s) has a home

 

[Firky]

Not got any to add, but just want to say thank you for starting this thread.

Yep, I am hesitant to like the first post but it is brilliant this is being catalogued.

Atos appeal woman Cecilia Burns from Strabane has died
From BBC News.

A cancer sufferer, who had her benefits cut by government officials who said she was fit to work, has died.
Cecilia Burns, 51, from Strabane, County Tyrone, had started a campaign in February to have the decision overturned.
Ms Burns had her benefits cut after she was assessed by government contractor Atos Healthcare.
She had her benefits reinstated just a few weeks ago but died on Monday.
'Disgusted'
During her campaign the County Tyrone woman said she was "disgusted" after the government cut her sickness benefit and told her she was fit to work.
Cecilia Burns had her Employment Support Allowance reduced by £30 a week even though she was still undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
Ms Burns had described the medical test as a "joke".
The government is seeking to reassess all 2.6 million people on incapacity benefit - and its successor employment support allowance (ESA) - by 2014 in an effort to encourage more people back to work and to cut the welfare bill.
Stormont Assembly MLA, Michaela Boyle, had helped Ms Burns in her campaign.

I thought if you were undergoing cancer treatment you didn't have benefits cut or is it still the case of only if you're undergoing IV chemo and maybe she was having radiotherapy? And I also thought you don't have them cut if you've less than six months left to live?
