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.

When this started only a few place had demos, but slowly more people joined and more places held demos. The fight has not yet been won yet but people are starting to hear us and see us
Nothing in East Anglia then…
I’m struggling to find a coach or lift from East Anglia to go protest at the LibDem conference next Saturday Celia 🙁
fab stuff thanks for that
thanks for the info John, I wish we had a Black Triangle group here in the north west as I’m not keen on Hardest Hit due to the involvement of charities who are also members of Disability Works which is working with the condems in supplying workfare, and, sorry, but DPAC doesn’t appeal due to apparent hierarchies and other stuff
