Yeah so sad there's money to be made from our illness, but never much for those who actually need it the drug company's must make a fortune x

Thank you David12, that sums it up, that money could be more wisely spent on people in need. No doubt as Ennyl says the drug companies must be making a fortune too, but at least they plough some back into future research. The money spent on Atos ect at the moment does not seem to be giving any return for the cost, only claimant misery.

The new system has never worked never will needs changing back to old system that worked perfectly and cost a lot less even with the people claiming who shouldn't of

May be they change it back in 2019 that is when the time is up for atos and capital but like to know who got them the con trackt as money like that do not fly round like that and this year they got 579,000 for takeing people of dla but 80% or there about who gets to the tryburnarl get pip back .that is what i have been told so if any one with a brain who gives the contracs out shounld look at what atos and capital are doing and like you said go back to the way it was as no way will it cost them that amont

It is not 579 thousand but 579 million viz. 579,000,000 which makes it even more obscene.

Also it would be interesting to know how much they supposedly 'saved' in payouts.
