BBC One - Panorama

Did anyone watch it tonight? it was all about the ESA assessors…

They admitted that they see all there clients as L.T.B I would tell u the meaning of that if I am aloud, the last word is a swear word…

I guess I can tell the first 2 which are Lying thefting, you can prob guess the last word now…

I watched it and couldn’t be more disgusted at the way they can treat people and the amount of money they receive for getting people into work (not that they seem to be doing even that well). I am lucky enough that I am employed but only just managing to do my 36hrs a week and no idea how long I will be able to keep it up but the thought of having to deal with they people scares the living daylights out of me. It takes a lot for me to lose my temper but think dealing with them would tip me over and I would lose it completely. Its appauling the way this government treats the disabled. We need to keep fighting someday someone will listen

I have to disagree with you, that sort of attitude simply reinforces the stereotypical view of people on benefits being liars and scroungers. Having said that I do understand your frustration about the assessment system, but just don’t think lying is the answer.

Hope I’ve not offended anyone as I know how strong feelings and views on the subject of medical assessments are…

Hi Moogle Star,

Great minds think alike!
