opps, seems I thought it was a different program. Have got the link to the program you are all talking about and will watch it before opening my mouth again, lol!!

On BBC Wales it was basically a programme about the number of sickness benefit claimants, removing them from it and lack of jobs available. (Can't remember the name of the prog, sorry)

well after watching it i can see why the changes are taking place, i only saw one real disabled person on the program all others chose sickness benefits because there is no work . sadly this affects real disabled people lives as now we are all going through the filter.

this program did nothing for real disabled people in Wales, just more ammo for the benefit bashes and to incite disabled hatred.

hi it was about people on sickness benefits and how the new esa guide lines are affecting them .
it was very disappointing as the families they focused on just came across as lifetime scroungers 9 kids on benefits prison etc

I didn't watch it. I saw a trailer and that put me off watching. It really did seem to be all about people who, as you say, chose sickness benefits because they couldn't get work; and people who just didn't come across sympathetically.

Wales does have high unemployment and high levels of illness (and an underperforming and underfunded "Health" Service: people could end up on IB etc. for years, and I do mean, years, because they were waiting to see a specialist*), there are good programmes to be made about that. But it sounds as though that wasn't it.

(*I waited more than four years to see a specialist. I was finally, suspiciously close to a General Election, given an appointment. I turned up to find I'd been switched to a different consultant, he hadn't been told he was seeing me, or given my notes...; he just wasn't interested. I waited for a while then pushed and got a referral to the original one. I waited a year... then rang, I was told I was now on the second consultant's list and my appointment was a "follow-up" -- follow-ups don't go on the waiting list figures.
I was referred to the pain clinic. After a year..., I got a letter saying the clinic could now put me on the waiting list... .

-- I wasn't on IB, I wasn't even on DLA then. I'd been medically retired but was hoping the specialists could put my hands right, because I really did want to get a job. )

edit it's on IPlayer, it's called Week In Week Out.

Seen it on the internet, it does nothing for ALL genuine disabled. I have a friend who works at the local DWP, in the Compliance dept. She says depression** is the new "illness" of choice for those trying to defraud the system and not go on JSA.

** Please note before I get the hate responses, I did not accuse anyone on here, their husbands or wives.

depression and anxiety, get the term right and as seriously physically disabled people we will all be diagnosed as having it at some point if not long term as becomeing seriously physically disabled is enough to knock anyones end in but we are not allowed to mention it, we are the choosen ones who have an easy time with ATOS supposedly according to those with just depression and anxiety :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It truely amazing that teenagers can get away with being on the sick for decades with depression aand anxiety.

the other bit of clever camera work was to get the massive flat screen and top end phones in as many shots as possible,
very clever mr producer

shame she never had the flat screen years ago maybe would of stopped at 5 kids instead of 9.:rotfl: only joking its her chose

wonder if that family had any advice before agreeing to the filming ?
