Her WCA was back in Feb before the WRA was passed and all the hoohaa about cancer sufferers classed fit to work came to the fore minnie.
I thought if you were ungoing 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?

'having read comments generally. I am fed up with some commentators "claiming that Crime hate against the disabled" does not exist?
In my whole life as a deaf person, I have never had that experience until recently in June 2012....
My new neighbour who just moved in for one month....had made assuimptions about me...and my hearing dog...
His words were" Get off your fucking lazy disabled arse, and stop living off my tax money"...this was over an incident of my neighbour dumping a supermarket trolley in the communal hallway unrelated to me personally and he just assumed it was me that complained about the trolley as he dumped it against my front door (in fact it was all of us on the entire floor!).....that complained about the trolley.
His statement as above was a clear copy cat speech of what Government have been saying....ie "Disabled people are scroungers"....
Then I found my car was scratched/keyed in the same evening....CCTV cameras revealed it was my nieghbour....at a later stage whne the police investigated.
The really scary thing was that I decided to call the Police in....to report the neighbour's abuse and potentially keying my car... The Police made some calls...he muttered and discussed with his colleagues about what action to take and I heard him say "Yes, I know this is another one yes very similar"......
The Policeman admitted to me that in fact there has been a dramtic increase in crimes against the disabled and because of potential backlash from neighbours..The Police had no option but to advise me to move away.....How shocking to be told in that manner if the Polices'hands are tied like that?'
I think I should put this here, its a comment from Guardian CIF that someone has posted and I consider it relevant, if anyone/mods don't welcome to move/delete it, its very worrying and sad and a clear example of the impact of the propaganda campaign against disabled people/claimants

You should tell him you hope he or none of his family ever get ill or have an accident
Remind him that 1 in 3 people are expected to get some kind of cancer in their lives

Treelover - it's not entirely clear whether you wrote that or someone else did.

Respect my existence or expect my resistance
Didn't one of the recent programs show the Atos doctor saying IV chemo was the only form of chemotherapy considered eligible, tablet or other oral forms aren't?
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?
I think it's absolutely disgraceful that someone can be forced to give up training to improve their employability because technically they're not available for work. Shame on the DWP and Atos, shame on them.

Yeah, that's what I thought and I think we discussed it.
I think everyone wearing an ATOS lanyard should get together and have a great big fire at the end of the games and burned them publicly outside their offices

Tragic: Mark and Helen Mullins could not face another freezing winter on the poverty line, according to neighbours
1. & 2. Helen & Mark Mullins both aged 48 killed themselves together in a suicide pact because they had become so poor as a result of Helen losing her DLA and having their daughter removed from custody. The family, unable to afford a fridge, used to hang bags of food in the garden to keep them cold. (see link)
3. Wandsworth’s Richard Sanderson a 44 year old former pilot took his life after he feared his family would be made homeless due to a cut in his housing benefit because of his inability to find work. (see link)
4. A woman wrote to DPAC to inform them that her 33 year old sister had committed suicide after first failing to kill herself by overdose and then jumping to her death. (see link)
5. Martin Rust aged 36, from Norwich, was declared fit to work by the DWP. Martin took his life and left his family with the note “To those I love I am sorry. Goodbye”. (here)
6. Sunderland’s Leanne Chambers aged 30 drowned herself after receiving a letter saying that she was fit to return to work. She had battled depression for years. (see link)
Paul Reekie, poet, author, iconoclast, Leither. Paul took his own life following an Atos/DWP Work Capability Assessment. The Black Triangle Campaign was founded in his memory
7. Leith’s acclaimed writer 48 year old Paul Reekie took his own life one month after George Osborne’s emergency budget in June 2010 announced a crackdown on welfare. Letters informing Reekie that he was to have his benefits cut were found close to his bodily person on death. (see link)
8. Hull’s Elaine Christian aged 57 slashed her wrist ten times and jumped into a river and drowned on route to a disability assessment to decide if her benefits should be taken from her. (see link)
9. Northants’ Paul Wilcoxen aged 33 took his own life by hanging himself in a forest as he had spent a summer searching for work. His suicide letter expressed worries about government cuts. (see link)
10. Frank Campbell, aged 55, killed himself in protest because of the red tape bureaucracy required of him to gain his benefits (here)

This whole thread is a terrible indictment of this country, the middle class wannabes and their trade unions have got to take a close look at themselves, police, teachers etc wanting more and more and expecting the low paid and poor to pay for it through taxes is a disgrace, its the me me me society, politically England is lost, its policies are so right wing the Celts will soon need binoculars to see them, the country has not recovered since the English voted Thatcher in appealing to peoples greed, if England doesn't pull back we will be fast approaching the end game, England going for the American model and the Celts for a Scandinavian model....oh aye 
, i know which model i prefer.
