I heard an interview with him on the radio at about 5.20. He was appalled at the way he was encouraged by ATOS to give people less points despite their obvious disability. is name is Dr Greg Wood - I think we should all applaud him for standing by his principals and getting out of something which is so obviously corrupt. Standing out from the crowd and pointing this up goes to show that there are still some principled doctors working, maybe more of them will come out and disclose the mismanagement of our claims by ATOS

Just seen it on BBC News, Dr Wood left ATOS after they asked him to alter medical reports to find terminally ill people fit for work. He accuses ATOS and the gov of being unfair and unethical towards benefit claimants.

If only he knew the half of it, they gov has also removed legal aid to stop benefit claimants from getting justice against this evil regime.

ATOS is corrupt,as well as A4E.The government are paying thousands into these.It's a bloody disgrace.

How much would gov save by not using these services I wonder? Bet it would go long way to covering the benefits needed by disabled..xx gov always seems to find money somewhere for some stupid scheme or waste it on meaningless pap!

Why are the government not taking any notice of this? stop wasting money on ATOS and use it to pay benefits.

I wonder if we did a freedom of information request to the government showing figures of overpaid benefits against the amount ATOS get paid, I bet they would find some way to fiddle the figures!!????

Yes , he was upset, this particular doctor, although it looked as though the interview had been heavily edited. If memory serves, I think he was talking about a patient who had a neurological complaint and the prognosis was not good. So , good for him to agree to talk about it. Takes a lot of guts. I am hoping he doesn't suffer professionally for blowing the whistle.
