ATOS Heatlhcare, the private company who conduct work assessments for the government, asked the American hosting company to close down the forum, seemingly without directly contacting CarerWatch – a moderate campaign group who focus on lobbying Parliament rather than attacking Atos:

Government ‘Work Programme’ charged with getting unemployed, sick and disabled people into work, “facing collapse”:(performance targets so unachievable that at least 90% of the organisations involved, risk having their contracts terminated).

    “Nope, that’s because they’ve made sure that no-one is disabled any more!! Genius! change all the descriptors, make it impossible to qualify, tell people that actually, their severe illnesses or disabilities no longer entitle them to state support – no longer even count as disabilities at all – throw millions of them off benefits then, when, in the end, only 6 people are officially classed as “disabled” offer them all the support and exemptions in the world!!

    When they said they’d “protect the most vulnerable” they meant people scheduled to die before the end of next week. ”

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.
