Thousands if people with disabilities are being affected and being thrown off their disability payments through red tape onto a lower unemplyed payment which is $180 below the poverty line. How can they manage on this?

]]> Tue, 9 Nov 2010 06:38:28 UTC 8859563 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8829249?utm_medium=rss There are presently 2.5 million able-bodied people chasing 0.5 million jobs. The vast majority of potential employers covertly discriminate against disabled people. Forcing disabled people to chase jobs they are never going to get is completely pointless. It will eventually cost more, not less, when disabled people lose benefit support with nothing to replace it and local authorities have to pick up the pieces.

This is a life threatening disease that will not improve -why should he be penalised for having it???

It is not hard to root these people out, without putting those genuine people through the mill. Are your children going to have to go through this if they become ill or disabled, or will you just pull some strings and make them immune to it - you are all currupt and it is offensive.

]]> Thu, 9 Sep 2010 04:28:27 UTC 8470459 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8367448?utm_medium=rss I agree with you. These rules are an attack on the most vulnerable people in society.

]]> Wed, 18 Aug 2010 05:25:44 UTC 8345698 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8287691?utm_medium=rss When I became seriously ill with a aggressive and debilitating illness,I was horrified at having to give up my career as a senior staff nurse. But what has made this awful situation even worse is having to go through the ESA system and having to'fight' all the time , 'proving' that I am ill.This system is fundamentally flawed . I have been made to feel that I am a 'benefit cheat' and was horrified to find that all decisions are based on an inaccurate 'so called' medical report done by ATOS.

]]> Wed, 4 Aug 2010 04:22:26 UTC 8277668 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8276481?utm_medium=rss The thought of being assessed terrifies me - i have nothing to hide, but the understanding of Fibromyaglia and ME/CFS is limited, I would love to work, but my body is all over the place, if i need to lie down there and then, i've got to, what employer is going to let me? my days are differnet every day, i cannot plan ahead, my illness doesnt allow me. I know so many people are tunred down for DLA, even after their neurologists writes, if they arent listened too, i wont be!

]]> Tue, 13 Jul 2010 03:23:51 UTC 8138534 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8138496?utm_medium=rss I think that the government should clean house before trying to clean up the benefit system. All those crooked MP's should try living on DLA or ESA for a while. The House of Commons- Obi Wan Kenobi summed it up perfectly in StarWars "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy"

Every month they threaten to take away my benefits. I am signed off sick by my GP. I cannot physically meet the demands being placed upon me by Atos Healthcare. they keep insisting that I travel 70 miles round trip from my home for appointments, despite being ill and incapable of using transport, have refused a home visit but will not say who authorized the refusal or why. every month they threaten to stop my benefits.

]]> Sun, 4 Jul 2010 11:50:16 UTC 8066065 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8057782?utm_medium=rss The treatment of sick and disabled people in this country absolutely horrifies and upsets me. This government is simply on a cost cutting exercise forcing people who are ill and disabled off sickness/disability benefits, under the pretence they are undergoing a proper medical. These ATOS medicals are an absolute farce and this disgraceful company should be sacked immediately. People will die because of this, is this what you politicians describe as "fair?"

]]> Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:33:25 UTC 8034633 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8032405?utm_medium=rss Lots of people with mental illness want to do some form of work but are limited in what they can do and are discriminated against by employers. Having years of illness on your CV doesn't look good. Instead of the pressure and bureaucracy of ESA people should be allowed to helped to find suitable work without the targets, sanctions and cuts that cause stress and make their illness worse. Life on benefits is not most people's definition of a good life-most people on them have no choice.

]]> Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:46:17 UTC 8032405 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8027583?utm_medium=rss These cuts will cause increased financial hardship, and therefore more stress, thereby worsening the mental health of those with mental illness.

Consumer and health web forums are full of the shocking experiences of vulnerable, sometimes terminally ill people and their treatment at the hands of this evil company.
