ATOS - leaked report shows "DWP is holding Atos to extremely tight tolerances"

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/dec/09/atos-disabled-people-assessment-fit-work-report

"Not only are there figures for overall numbers of people awarded the points needed to qualify for the employment and support allowance (ESA), figures also exist for individual prognoses, for the points awarded, even for the word count of the summary findings. And each Atos region is expected to stray no further than 20% from the national average."

  • Interesting how the DWP perceives how it is addressing disabled interests. I found this snippet:

    "We are fully committed to enabling disabled people to have the same opportunities and choices as non-disabled people. Reforming the benefit system aims to make it fairer, more affordable, and better able to tackle poverty, worklessness asnd welfare dependency. We have tried to make fair choices and to protect those who are most in need, and have looked closely at the impact of decisions on different groups, including disabled people".

    So now it is only right and proper that we all do our bit, and be miraculously cured of our disabilities, so we are no longer a burden on the Exchequer.

    Simples,.....
