Budget - tougher for DLA claimants

Tobermory

And this is what scares all genuine claiments, how can IDS reform something he does not understand - be afraid, be very afraid.

I have serious reservations regarding the ATOS company's competence to undertake medicals for the DWP.

I am aware of a case where a DWP employee was ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and on long term sick. The DWP used ATOS to undertake an occupational medical; the conclusions from which stated that the employee was unlikely to be fit for work for the foreseeable future. The employee was dismissed on medical grounds.

Only a few weeks later the same employee applied for Employment Support Allowance having lost their job and the same organisation, ATOS, undertook a medical for the benefit and concluded that she was "fit for work" and she was not entitled to Employment Support Allowance.

How non-sensical is that? The same company finding a person "unfit for work" at one medical then "fit for work" at another???

My sight isn't restored by the glasses. The glasses don't correct the colour blindness, repair the nerve damage or stop my eyes wobbling - all of which cause other problems and do cause care needs.

No matter what anyone does to my eyes, they can't get any better than the second and fourth line. Therefore, I have care needs.

Hello,

As many, many people on this site have said, GET OVER IT. DEAL WITH IT, LEARN TO ADAPT!!

All I hear from yourself is negative reasons/excuses.

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!

That's the one. I'm using version 7.

Trialia, I'm impressed. Either you are very good at editing the text, or dictate very clearly, or the programs have really improved - or perhaps all three. Whichever, the results are excellent - congrats.

How much editing do you have to do?
