  • If the DWP and ATOS Drs are so incompetent that they're known to habitually write false reports (suggest claimants with MS and ME can walk who've clearly been wheelchair bound for months/years to give just one example) on how able bodied claimants are then what yardstick will they use to suggest someone is "ready to work" and will have their benefits threatened if they refuse work? You're no better than Victorians who sent children to workhouses and cotton mills!

  • If that's your idea of policy, it has more holes than swiss cheese. For a start, putting people on commission to get paid according to how soon they can get people off benefits is going to drive them into trying to push people into work who are ill and not yet ready to return to the workplace. Secondly, how do you define that someone on IB is "ready to work"? I've lost count of the number of genuine IB claimants with debilitating conditions being turned down for IB & having to appeal.
