248. Margaret Keavey I worked all of my life and have been fortunate enough to never have to claim and I am retired now, however I was and am more than happy to pay into the system to to help to care for the sick and disabled our most vulnerable in society. I have seen the changes the government have made in assessing the sick and disabled and I find it appalling, you’d never know we lived in the 21st century. Changes needed to happen, but not what you have done you basically sent them to slaughter with you narrowing of descriptors and Atos just approving most everyone for work when it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know they are not fit for work.

344 Victor Deak, Advanced Degenerative Osteo Arthritis and E.H.D also crushed discs in my spine and i have undergone direct spinal injections which have not worked and the spinal surgeon has told me that my condition is beyond treatment, i have had over twelve operations which include bone grafts plates and screws to my right wrist to try to save the use in my right hand and wrist and ive just undergone a complete wrist joint replacement (DRUJ ) I now have virtually no feeling in my fingers and 7 pounds of grip in my right hand and between early 1980s and now i have had over 16 reconstructive operations to save my left knee and in 2009 i had a TKR (total knee replacement) at the ripe old age of 49 im now 51 and the TKR in the words of the surgeons has been less than successful but according to atos and the dwp im fit for work even though the surgeons have told me i am in no physical shape to work!!, and i need to take morphine and heart meds every day four times a day just to be able to function all be it very slowly and in great pain.
The atos healthcare professional has deliberatly distorted my answers and  edited my answers to his questions to make them fit the so called tick box questionare and criteria so that i scored no points when according to my surgeons i should have scored a minimum of 54 points but due to his corrupt reporting of my health i now  have to go through the appeals process.
this government have mercilessly victimised the sick and disabled at the expense of their human rites our beloved prime minister was quite happy to take all the disability benefits he was entitled to when his son was alive but sadly his son died and since then he and his rich posh boys in government have viciously attacked the disabled and tagged us a scroungers what a bunch of hypocrites, these savage attacks on those who are unable to protect themselves must stop and they must stop NOW!!.
i wonder how much longer these morally bankrupt and corrupt politicians will be able to keep lying to Mr and Mrs average ?!.

348 Veritee Reed Hall.
I was disabled by a severe horse riding accident in 2003 at 50 years old. This led to 3 years of much pain and  in a wheelchair. I can walk now due to having my leg reconstructed by the use of a fixator screws inserted and an ankle fusion, but only with walking aids, some days are worse than others. I can’t drive a manual and unadapted car and rely on my DLA to run this car.

But my ankle fusion is breaking down and I am on the waiting list for further surgery on it in the new year. I have also developed Plantar Fasciitis in the affected foot, which is incurable and very painful making walking even more difficult.I have had operations on both knees and I am too scared to go back as I fear a knee replacement, as I have too many other operations to face.

I then found I had HIV at 55, I am now 59. I have probably had HIV since 2002. My husband, a merchant seaman got it while working away in Brazil, as he was unfaithful I have never have been. We have been together since 1984. Its been a terrible shock, I am still in shock and suffer severe anxiety. I suffered phobic anxiety before I found I had HIV all my life since abused as a child, but could manage my life with strategies. However knowing I am HIV+ has made my anxiety so much worse and now I can’t manage now to lead a productive life with it and the other conditions.

I also have side effects from the HIV meds each and every day, and officially had AIDs when diagnosed as did my husband. But due to the HIV meds that ‘control’ the condition, HIV alone does not qualify for ESA, PIP or whatever any more, it used to qualify you for some DLA and Incapacity Benefit depending on how it affected you.
Since finding I Have HIV I have developed Kienbocks, a form of incurable  avascular necrosis in the wrist for which there are ‘salvage’ operations to help with the pain but no cure.I have had one salvage operation and will have to have others.  It is very painful and I can not use the affected hand without much pain. AV can be caused by advanced HIV infection that was untreated for some years, Also have cubital and carpal tunnel, hence why typing is laboured and I make many typos as I can’t hit the right keys and it hurts to type this.

I was diagnosed via bone scan with severe osteoporosis of the spine – lumbar – a couple of weeks ago. My bones there and in my hips are so fragile I could get breaks just leading my normal life especially in my spine. Which also was a shock as lived a very active life until my accident at 50. However I am on a HIV drug called Tenofovir which is known to cause severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who are on it. But the drug controls my HIV well and I don’t want to die of AIDs so I take it. I also have high cholesterol and high blood pressure due to the HIV drugs.

I have described my conditions in such detail as the point I want to make is not one of them on their own qualify now for either PIP or an ESA support group. Yet I have been on both DLA and Incapacity benefit for some years and only for two of the above conditions and was told I would NEVER be reassessed. But they are now reassessing me. And I have been thrown into acute panic and anxiety. As without these benefits I would have to leave my home of over 25 years and no way could I work.
But none of my conditions apparently qualify from what I have read and from my reading they do not take into account the combined effect of so many on a persons ability to function and work.

I will be 60 in a month, I was going to try to survive only on my state  pension when I got it as I hate being on this benefit system that I find degrading, even though I have paid into it since I was 15. But they moved this goal post too so I now won’t get my state pension until I am 62 and 10 months.
If I go into a work group I will get some money for a year, but I know I can’t work, so what then? I will have a gap of nearly two years with no money of my own, my husbands money alone will not keep us in this house that has been my home for so long and will have to rely on my husbands small works pension, and ask my husband , the man who is now my carer and the person who infected me with HIV, for every single penny. I have hardly any self respect left. If I lose my benefits before I can pick up my state pension in another 3 years at nearly 63, this will finish me off. I feel for others, as I can see others here are even worse off than me.
348 TE. I was 322 before being deleted. How dare they delete my name from a document I signed?!  My health is my affair but I am so angry at the attack on the welfare state and the disabled in partidular. Who would have ever thought we would have ‘disability hate crime’? Not only do we not care for the most vulnerable in our society but make them even more vulnerable. It saddens and disgusts me. Then to try to silence these voices demonstrates further the contempt they have for human beings.

353 Helen Belcher, Trans Media Watch – I gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry on 8 February about the same issues as they affect trans people.  In my second submission I made the point that any vulnerable and marginalised group could be subject to the same poor treatment at the hands of the press unless the Editors Code was changed to allow complaints from groups – especially as many articles now don’t name individuals, making it impossible to complain.

355 Mal Sainsbury – my DeafBlind student has severe mobility difficulties and was found ‘fit for work’ with her Incapacity Benefit immediately withdrawn! She was accompanied to her ATOS Work Capability Assessment by a support worker who interpreted for her.  Called in for the mandatory WCA (as are all sick and disabled people under the new Welfare Reform Act), this student thought she was having a medical and help from a specialist employment officer who would help her find work. She is now (like thousands of others) going through the long-winded (and very costly to tax-payers) appeal procedure with assistance from her support workers.

382: Dee Terry SP3 4TE – I am disabled with joint hypermobility syndrome, osteoarthritis, and Fibromyalgia. I was sacked from my job in July by the charity I was working for. They refused to recognise my disability and refused to acknowledge responsibility for making “adjustments”. I had a breakdown through the stress this caused. Now I am working part-time Self Employed. My condition makes it hard to maintain a schedule. I am terrified of what the future holds as my condition is progressive.

383. Terence Crago, full-time carer for severely disabled partner.
384. Charlene Flewers – Social Services. Worked for Local Government and was dismissed under Occupational Health due to my severe Crohn’s Disease. They said that an employer such as the council needed reliability and good attendance. That it was difficult but I should accept the hand that life had dealt me, now however ATOS (the company that work for the Government that signed me off sick) are saying that I am fit for work. I will sue them and want all this brought to light. They are corrupt and immoral. They will be discovered in the end! Get legal representation if you can, take them to the court for an infringement of your human rights and discrimination.
385. Jane Winter, ME for the past 9 years, before that always worked. Surely it is obvious that in a decent society those too ill to seek redress and balance should be able to have organisations do it on their behalf? Preventing this is essentially gagging the sick and disabled. I claim no benefits at all, by the way.
386. Kirsty Dunlop, Epilepsy, Hypermobility Syndrome, and Borderline Personality Disorder Sufferer. Too ill to work with 4-5 seizures daily, yet ATOS think that I am fit for working, ok so if thats the cse what exactly can i do that isn’t interfered with by multiple seizures and being asleep to get over them most of the day?

Earlier this year he was in hospital with a life threatening infection in his shunt. On average he has had one major surgery every year of his life he is 22.  After 25 years working as a nurse i had to give up my work due to my own ill health and have fibromyalgia and injuries to my back and neck. I suffer from severe depression and have to deal on a daily basis with suicidal thoughts which have become worse since having to listen to lies through the television and newspapers about the liars and cheats who steal benefits they are not entitled to. Now as well as having to deal with i and my sons health issues i feel abused just because we are sick.

407. Denise Prideaux, Caerphilly. I am profoundly concerned about the effect that the government’s new rules regarding sickness and disability benefits are having on the nation’s most vulnerable and deserving people. There is no doubt that benefits are being improperly denied to people who are genuinely sick or disabled and perfectly entitled to payments, because of an assessment process which is so seriously flawed as to make it unfit for purpose. The net effect is to throw claimants into destitution and destroy independent lives. In some cases the final days of the dying have been made distressingly more miserable, in others those denied the means to live have been driven to suicide. We should not stand by and allow this to happen, and we should not allow government to abdicate responsibility for this to third party assessors, either. Shameful.

441 Barry Hall. Carer to my wife Veritee Reed Hall above. Because she has multiple conditions and HIV. I also have HIV, sadly I got it and gave it to her. I had AIDS when diagnosed  and was hospitalised for weeks and on oxygen for 6 months at home and she cared for me throughout this despite her own difficulties. I have also just had treatment for prostate cancer. I had Bracyotherapy. I think it worked but it has left me partially with urine incontinence and have impotence. But apart from that I am fit enough now with HIV medication to care for my wife. Which is all I want to do now. So for me this is not at all about me. I do not myself have or apply for any benefits whatsoever!! As I am one of the lucky ones. In that I worked from 15 years old and 33 years for my last firm, but lost my job at 56 because I failed their medical when I became ill due to HIV. But I am very lucky as through my job I have a small works pension and while my health is not great at all and I am on medication for the rest of my life I have  no mental health or mobility problems so I am able to care for my wife and have a very basic income with no benefits. And I do care for her, I love her, always have and made a very stupid mistake while working away for many months.But she does have mobility and other problems and HIV and the medications have affected her very badly. I may not deserve any benefits and I don’t claim them and never will. But she does  and no way could she EVER work again. In fact if she could she would really love to as it would give her her self respect back. She is a qualified teacher and youth worker and worked as this for over 28 years and before in other jobs. But the benefits that she also paid into for the eventuality of if and when she may be unable to work gave her a bit of
independence, self worth and pay for the adaptations on her car and for her to get out and about a little and have a quality of life. As my pension will not cover this. They are going to take this away from her. Whatever I did she does not deserve this. She paid into the system for longer than many ever have or ever will.

I have worked all my life, never having any support from anyone but myself, as well as getting a degree and working on a 2nd, all while struggling with a chronic non cureable illness which has gotten progressively worse. Now that I can no longer work in a ‘normal’ 9 to 5 job outside the home and am forced to rely on benefits I find that instead of support I am condemned both publicly and officially, a large part of which is down to the media. I can’t even imagine what people with much more serious conditions such as terminal cancer are going through at the moment.

473 Dave Murphy –
474 Nick White. I am 63 yrs old with Parkinson’s Disease, Osteo Arthritis, and various other ailments including recurring bouts of (suicidal) depression – currently being ‘Assessed’ by DWP/ATOS. To be constantly put down by ill-informed Government ministers and papers like the Mail stirring up hatred for the disabled only makes life intolerable – I just hope I can survive the next 18 months till I’m 65 and hopefully the ‘pressure’ will lessen.
475 Laraine Frederick
476 neil wickson, ex RAF supplier sick of being harassed about council rent and council tax when i only earn minimum wage with two kids when me alcoholic brother gets more than me from DWP and ex burgulars who live in my my street get treated beter by authority’s than geniune hard w

481 Elizabeth Hockey – Profoundly Deaf (although cope too well to have anything other than lower rate care – DWP’s words),  Depression and possibly other underlying mental health conditions as well as possible heart condtion
482 Danny Mahon. Very concerned about the disdainful culture developing towards ill and impoverished people.
483 steve hackford. sick of the hate,being generated by disingenuous misinformation.

484. Bill Hunter. Ex-serviceman. Tax payer for 41 years and scared of the future.

485. Philip Howard. Disabled person .
486. Maryanne Wilkinson It is time to stop the prejudicial language towards the sick and disabled in the press.
487. Les Spalding
489. Mark Luscombe. Human. Sickened by eugenicist policies lionised by lobbying firms in the media.
490 Peter Bisson. Socialist
491 Julia Bridle Disabled ,osteoarthritis, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, atrial fibrilaltion, diabetes (due to prolonged steroid use) No use of right shoulder ,hand ,arm due to nerve damage. Clinical Depression. When are these journalists going to research their work properly and get things right ? They just constantly lie . I worked and paid my dues for 45yrs .

492. Charlotte Hall – Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3 sufferer, along with Chronic reactive Depression, Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia – my sister’s been assaulted because she doesn’t LOOK sick, when she’s in a wheelchair; the rubbish in the press is making all those with invisible illnesses (AND visible ones) terrified to try and function in society thanks to the ridiculous rubbish written in the newspapers. I want to be able to live~, and not be afraid to go outside. But the fact that anyone who sees me with a cane looks at me like I’m a liar makes me despair.
493. Paul Smyth. Degenerative spinal disease, stress related illness, diabetes and pain killer addiction.
494. Christopher Hoggins, chronic depression and
495. Sarah Stezaker, Disabled with M.E for 13 years, housebound and had to give up full time care of my son. I would love to take care of him and have a job. I used to work two jobs before I became ill. It’s enough to cope with without the biased reporting in the press that amounts to discrimination of the disabled.  
496 Ross Campbell. Disabled and disgusted with the press and MPs in this country.
487 Allan R Williamson – I have severe Fibromyalgia and also Anxiety and Depression. Is sick to death with the media portraying sick/disabled people as ‘scroungers’, with certain papers even going so far as to mount campaigns which has resulted in increased hate crime against vulnerable people. I didn’t ask to be disabled, and neither did anybody else – but the way the news portrays us is as though we’re hiding behind our various illnesses/injuries purely to avoid work and live a ‘luxury’ lifestyle at taxpayer expense. The reality is that sick/disabled people are bearing the brunt of largely ideological cuts, causing increased hardship and suffering. My greatest criticism are the Sun, The Daily Mail and especially The Express, as they can’t even get basic facts right, and seem to delight in spreading as much misinformation and bile as possible.
488 Joanne Yelland – Fibromyalgia and severe uncontrolled epilepsy.  Despite trying 8 types of medication I have never had control of my condition, I’m not even a candidate for brain cautarisation which I requested as I WANT to work.  I was forced out of my IT job due to fear from a director at work, which media outlets exacerbate by painting us as enemies and ‘shirkers’.  Maybe you should remember that ‘there but for the grace of God, go I’.
Ian Craig
489 Helen Shipley – 25 years of M.E. and collecting other stuff, now they think I should be working – I wish I could, I’m 60 and depressed at thought of not being able to work again

I WOULD IMPLORE EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD TO UNDERGO AN ATOS MEDICAL TO ASK FOR THE FACE TO FACE ASSESSMENT. ITS YOUR RIGHT TO GET IT AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT THE AMOUNT OF MISTAKES  THE BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL CLAPTRAP CONTAINS.
498. Cindy Sanders -Edinburgh
499. Sharon Hingley – Ex HR Director who paid 40% tax for 20yrs+ now totally housebound with severe pain/mobility problems following spinal surgery. In addition now severe mental health problems caused by having to claim benefits for first time in life ( because husband left -did not want a disabled wife either) , worrying about 14 year old coping as carer ,being demonised by this unelected, abhorrent Government and terrified of brown envelopes. Mr Cameron/IDS/Freud, please come and visit me , I dare you to speak your lies to my face.
500. Phyllis Mason – Fibromayalgia, Reflex Symphathetic Dystophy, Sciatitica, Lower and Cervical Spondolyis, Carpal Tunnel, But according to ATOS medical I’m fine!!!!!! Not only that but just to make life more awkward, I’ve to try and deal with this over Christmas as my last payment of incapacity goes in my bank Christmas Day! How many days will everything be shut down while staff at job centres enjoy their holiday??! In the four weeks you have to appeal, I’ve got to try and get a Dr’s appointment and forms to fill in and returned while all are on breaks.

Seriously worried about ATOS, PIP, and what Ian Duncan-Smith is doing to disabled people.
505.  Jim Ross, 5 stents in the heart, 1 leaking heart valve, Peripheral Vascular Disease in both legs.  Awaiting dreaded ATOS date for assessment – Racial Cleansing must be stopped – the Tories must be booted out now!

507. Irene Still.  Have worked all my adult life from the age of 15. Have suffered with Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks and Social Phobia for over 40gie that they need more information from me, (which I sent back immediately) seems my Mental Health Therapist, Three Doctor,s and letters from many Mental Health Depts over the years words are not enough for ATOS,Government. The lady who interviewed me was only a nurse with NO Mental Health Qualifications. Absolutely disgusted with this government, and fearing the worse.
508. Phil Heslop Stranraer Feeling completely dehumanised
509 Sara B, Rhondda Cynon Taf. Disabled due to secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis, depression, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 3 and multiple other illnesses. Worked  in the NHS and in Adult Education for years, wish I could work now but my health prevents me. I am not a scrounger or a skiver, just a victim of ill fortune – something which could happen to ANYONE at ANY TIME!

Robert Craig,denied industrial injuries disablement benefit because i went back to work to soon

510. Sian Roberts (Carer to my mum since age 16/18) I am petrified too and am becoming very depressed, have social phobia, anxiety and panic attacks, on medication, seeing a Mental Health Team all due to stress of this Government. I also have my own health conditions and struggling to care for my mum. I have a bulging disc in my back, sciatica, low b12, low iron and PCOS + the above. I am told I can not be ill and care (but unpaid carers do not get a wage) for my mum so I will have to choose, take a drop in money which will throw me into debt. I have never been in debt for and I will be unable to pay my half of the bills due to £21 drop in money weekly. I am at my wits end and face being unable to make the choice of loosing £21 and fighting with ATOS yet again which makes my Mental Health so much worse and each time need more medication and the feelings of not wanting to live become greater for me as they will find me fit for work and appeal which is horrid for me as I am fed up of telling them how I am affected, or go through the horrid assessment to be put in the WRAG for 6 months if that. I am not a scrounger, I am caring for my mum which I thought was the right thing to do. I have no help from anyone and the government is making it so hard I could be forced to stop caring for my mum.  I feel I will have  a break down sometime soon as I can not cope with this anymore. I even have the feelings of not wanting to live anymore.This  Government needs to go. I have been through an ATOS assessment and its hell. I cant think of a word to describe it. I have to fight every 6 months and I have been found fit to work because I am caring for my mum. My mum has different health needs to me. Mums is physical and my are Mental so I was found to have limited capability for work but only for 6 months, put in the WRAG and I had to fight again. I will say I have had no help from the WRAG and yes I do want to work as a carer to other people but I get no help. Being told your a scrounger because I care for my mum is wrong!
511.Sandra Roberts. I have many health issues Hypothyroidism , Diabetic Type 2, Hypertension/Resistant Blood Pressure, Atrial Fibrillation, Angina,High Cholesterol, Osteo Arthritis in both hips, Compression of the spine in L4/L5(Spinal Stenosis), Diastolic Heart Failure, Lymphoedema, Incontinence Issues. I am dependent on my wheelchair after a very short distance, I am in pain 24/7 due to compression of my spine in L4/L5 and I also have Diastolic Heart Failure. I am petrified of what will happen to me and my daughter, my carer who I rely on for most things every day with the changes coming through. I need personal care and everyday care and a rely  on my car. If that is taken away I am housebound. My daughter would not be able to push me here there and every where. I have already been admitted to hospital for high blood pressure (which makes my Diastolic Heart Failure worse) due to worry and stress of the current Government, In Duncan Smith and the rest of them which has put me at significant risk of heart attack and or stroke or even worse death. My Cardiologist is now wanting to do an ablation on my kidneys to reduce my blood pressure. I am at my highest dose medication wise for blood pressure. I am not a scrounger nor work shy. This Government do not care if people die. This should not be happening to vulnerable people.
512 Philip Young, worked 12hr shifts for most of 30yr working life in the oil & gas industry with same company. Diagnosed with MS on day of transfer to another company – after being off sick with back injury and 1st two MS attacks. Paid high rate tax for most of working life. Pensioned off due to ill health with 3 doctors saying I would not be able to work again. Divorce and associated depression have left me living back in a council house whilst ex got 275k house, 16k cash, car and everything else +half my pension. Currently struggling to care for my partner who suffers from cluster headaches and fibromyalgia, even though she is my carer we look after each other and are barely able to go outside. I now have diabetes and because of uncontrolled blood sugars my eyesight has deteriorated rapidly, but on the good side I’ve lost over 2 stone in the past 2 months. Memory is shot, legs and arms are shot, incontinence getting closer every day, especially when I put my hands in hot water, not much restful sleep as I wake every 2 to 3 hrs to go to the loo, I’m selling my guitars and mountain bike cause I can’t use them anymore. I’m not a shirker or a scrounger either, I’m not on benefits other than DLA Hi mobility, Med  care, but I can’t bloody afford to go abroad, smoke, drink and have all my furniture supplied by social.
513 Caroline Wells – am deaf, have degenerative lower spine disc, EB SIMPLEX, Depressive Illness , Social phobia,  Hypoparathyroidism, being tested for pancreatic cancer, fibromyalgia and many other conditions, Was very fit and healthy up till 6 years ago when ironically stress caused by working at DWP caused severe breakdown. Atos found me unfit for all work and at different grades even with all reasonable adjustments in place. Was medically retired and within 6 weeks   on ESA – ATOS said I was fit for work!! Have won 3 appeals to keep ESA cont’s based. I want David Cameron and the whole of the Conservative and Labour Party sacked and UKIP put in for just 3 years! Sick and tired of being openingly discriminated against on disabilty grounds yet can’t do anything about it!!! All MP should serve one year with all emergency services and forces ( abroad ) and a year living in the normal world on low income wages and on benefits before they even stand as a representative!! Get the rich out – and make it easier for the less priveledged to live a quite life at a reasonable standard. GET CAMERON OUT!!!!

524 Mary Pelfrey. I support the wonderful Welfare state and the NHS, signs of light and  civilisation in a nasty and dark world. A nation is judged by the way it treats its weakest.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  525 Kathleen Hunter my late husband worked all his life.and I was a stay at home mother and wife.I am very concerned by the attack on the Vulnerable. and I am very proud of our Welfare state and the NHS. we should all fight to keep them.

People can become disabled/ill at any point in their life,if this was a member of your family would you kick them out onto the street and starve them to death.
Despicable government behaviour, If the disabled were a race what the government are doing would be classed as GENOCIDE.
536. Derek Hathaway  Disgraceful  the way my friend has been treat -she is on the verge of committing suicide

My atos report was fabricated as a result i have been living off of £35 a week for 27 weeks, i have tried to take my life twice in this time due to the adverse effects of atos, my condition has worsened to such a degree i have now had to claim for dla. I believe the human rights of thousands have been breached and mass genocide is being committed.

546 Alastair Kemp, Voice hearer, psychosis sufferer, daughter with Crouzon’s Syndrome, small press publisher and PhD candidate. I’m no malingerer but as I still need the support of benefits I feel under attack from the government hate fuelled propaganda being used to divide the working class in order to lower the 80%s living wage.
547 Linda Ashford, Parkinsons and Pernicious Anaemia. Fundamentally opposed to the biopsychosocial model of disability which is being used to discredit the very real disabling conditions and illnesses of thousands of people, and the way that disabled people are being portrayed in the press.
548 A.Matthews, bipolar, psychosis, PTSD, Fibromyalgia, Asthma, Dissociative Identity disorder. Demonisation by politicians of all hues is wrong on so many level, the sick and disabled need a fair system of evaluation; fair for all not just the neo-liberalist denyers. Disability is just that it is not a life
549 Jacqueline Rundle, disabled from birth and a christian – despairing of the way disabled people are being treated, opinions ignored, maligned, it has got to stop, stop telling disabled people they are being over emotional and scare-mongering, they know what they are going through, not anyone else!
550 Lindsay Rodgers, Former Health and safety officer Lost right eye well working in 1995 Govt took most of my settlement out of the 95K award I had to fight 6 years to get and I saw just 9k the rest was taken by no win no fee and the then DHSS to offset the cost of treating me and against a future where I could no longer work, it took me 5 more years to that point. I payed into the system! The anxiety chronic depression that came with the head inj and the spine damage are as nothing to the feelings of utter despair when I hear the way the condem propaganda, is regarded as fact by sheepoeple if I leave my house. Now a prisoner in my own home. Committing suicide seems about the only way I can make it all stop.
551 Kirsty Rankin, ME sufferer.
552 Isobel Millard,  Llandrindod Wells, Wales.  retired, able bodied but sickened & appalled at all this-the present government are so right wing..just like the Nazis..& practicing Eugenics seems to come naturally to them-they need to be driven out of office. A civilized society is measured by the way it treats its disabled & vulnerable..the Government & media are NOT civilized.I feel so  concerned for everyone in this dreadful situation . The lies & corruption  by ATOS,the media, the DWP & Cameron & his cronies beggars belief.
553. Alan Reading. I suffer from osteoarthritis of the joints of my hips, knees, lower back, shoulders, and left wrist. I have Fibromyalgia, IBS and am a recovering Cancer patient. I  suffered nerve damage after my cancer operations which causes numbness in my hands, my left arm and in the left side of my face. I also have various mental difficulties such as OCD, PTSD and generalized anxiety and depression. I would like to say that I have never feared for my future more than I do so right now. It would seem that this government has resurrected the ‘Nazi Aktion T4 program’, under the guise of ‘Welfare reform’, and it HAS to go. There is no other way forwards…

555. Jay Evans.    About to have a below the knee amputation and suffering with various disabilities.  I am a person first and foremost, just because I am disabled makes me no less a person than anyone else!  You are committing  genocide in a way as you see the people with a disability as the lowest of the low.  We pay our taxes just like everyone else, this is with everything we buy and every bill we pay – they all have V.A.T. on them.  So stop treating us as scum and telling everyone that we are scrounger – we are NOT – we are just human beings who have more feelings and more sympathy with others of the “working and middle class” – you are the ones who gain from the benefits in this country – without our taxes you would have so much

I too worked before my condition developed as a civil servant. Waiting for Atos appointment so they can cull me.
