I am, what bit is of concern?[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -

You mean the DWP passing on your details without your knowledge? Did you sell your soul for £30 vouchers and just realized its worth a wee bit more?
Is it the dodgy company selling its services to benefit claimants?0 -
No dear poster I did not sell my soul for £30 vouchers or anything else. Is the first I've heard of it and wanted to know more., that's all.0

I don't get the problem. Why does it matter that the company they will be using to asses us on the change over to PIP have also been involved with helping the police catch sex offenders? What's that got to do with us? ATOS had never done anything relevant to the role at all either. I'm just glad sombody's realised that not using ATOS for a start would be a good move.
Of course the company running trials for the assessment process will be given the details of those who've agreed to it, how on earth could they asses them otherwise?
What am I missing here?"Life is what you make of it, whoever got anywhere without some passion and ambition?0 -
I'm not getting into the usual long pointless arguments on here about DLA and related issues. If anybody can give me more info on this, then I'd be delighted to hear from them and if not then I will ignore you0
