    How have you established this when you know I don't hate the system?

    Spewed up bitterness, hatred and bile? You've got plenty of that.

    Shame that it also seems to affect your ability to answer simple questions, along the lines of 'What's your own experience with these assessments?'.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,

    Was it for IB or ESA?

    Did you request a copy of the medical report?

    But what's your own experience of these assessments?

    You'll be in for it now - breaking ranks and letting the side down is a big no no!

    We dont know if he has even had a medical assessment from ATOS, the statement was so vague it could be anything from having worked for them, to having used their IT support services, to a benefit assessment, or a occupational health assessment, or even just reading a press release from them.

    No reply yet either to the questions, perhaps the poster is busy elsewhere.

    Not sure godwin's can be invoked on post #1;)


    Not sure if you can answer the question 'What's your own experience of these assessments?' ;)

    Anyway, if Atoss weren't so fascistic/self-serving in their attitudes, then people wouldn't invoke Godwin's.;)

    This one's really taking some grasping for you isn't it. I'm making allowances for you being a bit slow but tbh you're stretching beyond the realms of slow now.

    You could just answer the question and then that'll stop you from being asked. Or don't you have the courage to do that?
