e-petition - Stop Unfair Re-assessments For Disabled People
Responsible department: Department for Work and Pensions
Stop the unfair and cruel re-assessments via ATOS for disabled people currently on Incapacity Benefit. ESA is a flawed benefit, and puts terrible pressure and stress on vulnerable people, putting people who cannot work on lesser benefits and applying sanctions. Let disabled people decide for themselves if they can work, they and their carers know best.

Liar and blatently so-a thirty percent reduction in income for us “the protected” thus far-we have no conditionality to work but under UC at best less than currently and at worse a further reduction-the very opposite of what they claim.I have no problem with debate,but in order to do so facts rather than lies are needed.
“I am not actually cutting welfare” said Iain Duncan Smith
“Managing the growth at a lower level”
When is a cut not a cut? When it’s a reform or managing growth at a lower level!
MP must surely mean Master of misleading and meaningless Propaganda
What jobs is he talking about one asks He is clueless and talks through his backside one should never trust him and what he says?
He is just full bull sh*t and braindead!
As they say in America “if we dont have guns the Government would not fear the people”
so I pose the question would Iian Duncan Smith do the appaling things he is doing to the sick and disabled if all these disabled people had guns ?
answers on a card please to

What would David Cameron’s son have to say about his wonderful daddy and his army of dummies if he were alive, disabled and daddy, mummy, nanny and all were poor.
