A PENSIONER has accused McDonald’s of discrimination after McDonald’s prohibited her mobility vehicle from a drive-thru. The lady pulled up at the popular establishment because she fancied a strawberry milk shake and, was then told that the mobility vehicle broke health and safety regulations. Mobility scooters provide a person the sense of independence that theyContinue reading “Scooter drive-thru Ban”

We know who you are!
I’ve heard this one time and time again, of course they know where we live and, yet they maintain that we’re scroungers and, live off the sovereign state. Nonetheless, if they know where we live, why did they not sanction our benefits for disability ages ago, instead of telling the tabloids that we’re conniving fakers,Continue reading “We know who you are!”
Sixty-Six million in appeal costs
Atos have without doubt gotten it all out of focus and, the taxpayer ends up picking up a very large bill, the total of £66 million pounds. Atos reportedly trick sick people out of their benefits in an unfair way. Their logic is that, if you have a finger and, you can pushContinue reading “Sixty-Six million in appeal costs”
Remploy Factories!
Remploy is a company that’s owned by the DWP in the United Kingdom, which did supply work and employment placement services for disabled people. It was set up in 1945 under the conditions of the Disabled Persons (Employment) Act 1945 and, over the years formed a web of 83 workshops across the UK. In 2007,Continue reading “Remploy Factories!”
The government’s assault on benefit claimants
Benefit capping must be one of the most brutal things that I’ve come across since the Holocaust, which was a structured bureaucratic, state-sponsored victimisation. It may not be exactly the equivalent, only now we have the rich bureaucrats who are convinced that they are more superior and, think of the poor and unemployed of thisContinue reading “The government’s assault on benefit claimants”
Fit for work man rushed to hospital, was such a close call!
A man who was proclaimed fit for work and, was taken off incapacity benefit was rushed into hospital a month after the judgment was made by Atos. The reason for this is because medical assessments by Atos Healthcare are meant to inaccurately assess claimants as being fit for work when they’re not. They’re not assessedContinue reading “Fit for work man rushed to hospital, was such a close call!”
Labelled Disabled!
I believe that the Shadow work and pensions secretary Liam Byrne is correct in what he stated, that there should be just one single evaluation for all health and social needs. Nonetheless, not every individual disabled person remains disabled long term and, some do recover from their condition, but then a great deal of them don’t. Continue reading “Labelled Disabled!”
Axe that Tax!
The term “horrific” is the only word I could use because care givers are being forced to cut back on basics, such as food and electricity because of the under occupancy law that was brought in by the tory government. Nonetheless, this is only what I would expect from an Edwardian government because they haveContinue reading “Axe that Tax!”
Iain Duncan Smith Taking the Fifth
What can I say about Iain Duncan Smith, well not a lot, in fact? What can I say about ATOS, well not a lot? Whatever I would like to express about each of them is beside the point because that’s my personal point of view and, who in point of fact gives a damn what IContinue reading “Iain Duncan Smith Taking the Fifth”
GUNFIRE AT THE O.K. CARRAL
This is what you get when you team up with the likes of the EU, although over the years it has been of some advantage to some people and, a shackle round the necks of others. A wheelchair user was declined an ATOS evaluation for health and safety reasons and, was requested to depart fromContinue reading “GUNFIRE AT THE O.K. CARRAL”
