Disability benefit changes ‘blatantly discriminate’

[Raggamuffin]

I'd like to know more about these psychiatric conditions as they seem to be all lumped together at the moment. Having a particular condition doesn't make someone automatically entitled to disability benefits, it's how the condition affects you which is important. If a condition is controlled with drugs, or can be controlled with drugs, there's no reason for the person to get disability benefits.

And do they ?

As far as I can tell, they get to be assessed by the wonderful ATOS.

Outcomes of those assessments are well documented.

Disagreeing with the UN is the norm for any self respecting person. Vile organisation, corrupt, anti semetic, and ridiculously stupid (Mugabe folks, Mugabe...)

Anyway, how do people want this to work. A system with few if any checks, where anyone can claim and receive, or one with controls, used to prevent people taking advantage and defrauding the system?

And should people be assessed? At least once if not on a regular basis? Or simply believed? What about using their doctors. But what if their doctors is one of those who will sign off anything?

Accompanied by an anti disability rant complete with 'defrauding the system' and even the lack of capitalisation of Semitic (wrongly spelt)...

I agree with that. I would like to see more counselling offered where possible as it can make a huge difference.

Counselling is available in Cumbria within weeks after assessment (including from self-referral) - it's been very successful by all accounts.

In Lancashire its the same, within a few weeks you will be seen. Also in Lincolnshire as my uncle recently had a breakdown and required their services.

Most of the problems occur in high population areas. I could ring my doctor now and get an appointment today for example.

Always a worrying sign - but put it down to grammatical error until or unless further racism emerges.

Ahh, so a common misspelling of a word is racist.... how about the lefts hardline hatred of Jews and the state of Israel? I guess that's not antisemitism but anti-Zionism..... you know, being against a Jewish Homeland....

Common among anti-Semites, yes. But don't worry, you have another chance.

There God forbids them from having a homeland.
They are to be scattered amongst the nations.
