This is nothing new. I know someone whom is on incapacity benefit, And he had this same medical a couple of years ago by one of these Hired accountant type doctors. Of course your always going to get the scroungers, Just like you get a lazy bastard in your work place. But its Dispicable how every sick person is being treated as a cheat.. and used to balance the books. Is this the NWO. if it is, god help us all. After the war this was made to protect you. (NHS) This is it beeing disolved. wakeup!

its shamful thats the people of this country will stand by and watch this happen(and its going to get a lot bloody worse).on top of sickness,these human beings are made to feel worthless and forced to live in poverty,while the cause of all these cuts,(THE GREEDY BANKS AND WORLD ELITE ) pick up £7 billion in bonuses this year! has humanity lost its way?

fookin moochers - and before you blame the bankers ask yourself if you would directly pay 1000 quid to your chav dla claimant next door EACH MONTH cos in effect thats what people scamming the system are asking you to do.

Cameron wants to save the Government money, GREAT, pull out of Libya, pull out of Iraq, pull out of Afghanistan, stop giving all the aid to countries who, ANUALLY, need money because their leaders buy weapons for their war and leave other countries togive charity to the people --- NEGLECTING THE ONES IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY THAT ELECTED THE TWATS. Stop immigration, pull out of the EU. Easier to persecute BRITISH citizens. Camerons judgements from the outset have been crap. NEW LEADER.

This isn't about helping the disabled become independent through work. It's a disgusting assault on their rights and integrity, to save £ and weed out a minority of benefit cheats. There's no justification for stopping DLA; it's hard enough to claim as it is. Fair enough about reforming Incapacity Benefit though, but even still it's MPs questioning local GPs judgements. For years disabled have wanted to work, but aren't supported realistically by Jobcentres & workplaces IN or OUT of work

@JusticeSeeker1000 Where are people going to get a job? European union squad walking in and taking every job going, driving people out of business, immigrants taking the low paid jobs. They drive housing costs up. Stop having a go a the disadvantaged and look at the real issue. Just for the record British people spend their earnings oir benefits in this country. The majority of immigrants/ E.U workers here do not. They save it up and take it back with them when they live. That is the real issue.

99% of them don't even have any qualification to examine people who are not well,thats why so many of their decision are wrong and are over turned by others one could say this!! if your car has a problem you take it to the butcher it's a sad day

for those who are not feeling well and just need the right help from the right people who are qualified to do so. As one of you say The rich get richer and the poor get a rocket up the arse!!
