    Hi,
    Do you know I was only saying that to my wife last night. I honestly would hate to have to re-live my life again in this country - the way it is going.

    How is flo?

    According to my sources it does seem likely.

    how good is the source? Lol.

    Oh well, let the madness begin. I wonder if there's a mental health condition relating to having many alter egos on the internet like this?

    Hi all, Im new here, just browsing about.

    My wife is a ATOS employee, and she even disagrees with the computer.

    It makes assumptions based upon input, such as the claimant can walk 10 yards based on the question "can you operate a microwave" this is because the computer thinks if you can use a microwave, you must be able to get up and walk to it.

    I wish everyone luck if they have assessments.

    The numbers have stayed roughly the same since 1997.
    The numbers claiming DLA have increased massively since 1997, from just under 2 million on average per week in 1997 to a current live load of 3.2 million. The amount spent on DLA each year has trebled from £4bn to £12bn in the same period.
