Have just watched it. Words cannot describe how I felt about these 'trainers'. How they can live with themselves I do not know. Still waiting for my statement of reasons as to why I have been put in the WRAG group but after watching this don't hold out much hope over my appeal.

Hi Caroline Have just watched BBC4 and BBC2 and agree withyou its disgusting what chance does anyone have. How do they sleep at night. Have filled in form and waiting for them to get in touch about medical. soft hugs Marg xx
Also watched both - am sickened and disgusted. The people who devised this system are vile and contemptible. Why dont all these 'concerned' trainers and advisers just have the courage of their convictions, refuse to subject sick, vulnerable people to any more torture and resign their posts en masse? That at least would give a clear statement to the government regarding this draconian one size fits all system. How some of the people featured could possibly be declared fit to work just totally beggars belief! As for Chris Grayling, words fail me to describe that man and his justification of WCA and Atos. That man needs to get out into the real world.
One thing that got my back up was the poor research (or perhaps editing) which resulted in the grossly inadequate and inaccurate description of Fibromyalgia as 'a condition which causes your joints to dislocate'. That cannot possibly help our case in educating the general public about FM.
My email went off to my MP within minutes of the programme ending .
I had the medical and was awarded 6 points. (for knee probs not fibro) and went to tribunal. because hubby works cab couldnt help because theyy're having to prioritise because of the nmber of people appealing. it took 16 months for the appeal to be heard and cost me almost 4K in solicitors fees.
The outcome - I am still on incapacity benefit! I have no idea how long this will be for but dread the next medical as the assessor was so awful i spent the whole time in floods of tears
