Not really sure how that benefits my friend, and other people, with terminal cancer who have been forced back to work.

Maybe it doesn't but your poster suggests that there is a malicious intent amongst the civil service to screw with people. There may be incompetence, there may be inefficiencies, but I very much doubt that there is malice in the way you suggest there is.

Not malice aforethought necessarily, probably more like not really giving a crap and just seeing people as numbers. End result is the same for the victim.

It's not incompetence. There has been a deliberate decision taken to force people with terminal cancer back to work.

they have cut the distance they can walk for the mobility element of PIP by two thirds, people who have been on it for years getting lashed off it and losing the benifit/car quite a lot win it back on appeal months later, but the cars have been handed back as soon as its withdrawn , so leaving them immobile in the mean time.
Its got that bad the motorbilty charity are now paying out £2000 in emergency payments to something like 200 people a week, it dosnt show up in the figures as less people getting it as mental heath claiments are now included in the figures so it looks like its not going down, very good at moving numbers about this lot to mask what they get up to.

He may do an awful lot wrong, and you may well argue that the fund has had unintended consequences, but he created a £400 million fund to increase access to cancer drugs that weren't approved by NICE.

Sorry if that doesn't fit the revolting image you wish to create of the man.

That man has let Iain Duncan Smith order ATOS to reek havoc on the sick, and disabled in this country where people have been deemed fit for work and had cancer illnesses, and heart patients have later died.
If the ethics of this present government had attacked the tax dodgers, and avoiders they could have saved 30 billion where benefit fraud is a mere 2 percent - I agree with the benefit cap if it was localised in pro rata cost of living of areas of the UK, The stories I have read on the ATOS system where a nurse types into a computer, and the computer says NO to a genuine sick person disgust me - so the poster is accurate in my opinion!

Please tell me why any one who is 65 when ATOS started is exempt from these DLA examinations? It would not be they are in majority Tory voters are they?
Yet sick children have had their DLA allowances cut. yes we are all in this together!

Wow, you really are something else. You had to chuck in a little "inefficiencies" dig at central government (carefully deflecting the flak away from Dave towards the infernal bureaucratic machine) whilst totally sidestepping the patently skewed morality of IDS's and ATOS's handiwork this parliament.

Anyone forcing a cancer sufferer to work should be jolly well ashamed of themselves.

Proverbs 31:8-9
Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.

A terminally ill one, at that. Revolting, I'd say.
