My God! Just read the article. Whatever happened to the old empathy, kindness, understanding and caring. What are we coming to. What sort of society do we live in, and more to the point, where will it all end? When I was young people looked out for others. Looked out for their neighbours. Now someone could die and not be discovered for days. This is no exaggeration. It has happened. Someone said on here recently. "Look after No. 1, that's all that matters". NO, it doesn't. We have to look after and love each other otherwise the whole thing will develop into chaos, and fear and anxiety will become rampant. It all makes me so sad. I am beginning to think the bureaucratic mind is amoral. But then should we accept the world as it is. I dont know. j.

This just makes me sick, people are signed unfit for work by a doctors note but benefits are taken away by private assessor 's employed by government with no medical reports! !!! Just more smoke and mirrors by those in charge, make it look like they are getting people back to work to save money and I suspect this private company are doing this for free (NOT) Save a little spend more saving it!!! But looks good on paper. I read somewhere that these interviewt were also taking place in buildings that had no disabled access! !! What a bloody joke :-!
