When you feel like it's you against the state (PIP etc) - this film, to me, sums up all the stresses, Challenges, humiliation and despair that some of us must face. It depicits the battle that becomes what is life, for some.
It shows the very worst and best of what society is today and highlights the vulnerabilities of those that appear without an voice and ultimately , at that hands of those who hold the power, what a person can be reduced too.
So sad but so worth a look?

Having done battle with the atos assessment I don't think it goes far enough it's much worse in reality there is a trap around every corner I have never know people to be so deflated take away there self-respect and hope and you have crushed them no wonder people take there own life
I thought it a fair representation ( in so far as it is but a movie) . A talking point perhaps?
I know it does not reflect the reality of the struggle we all face on a daily basis but I think anything and everything that opens up that discourse , a positive move .
When my RA was at its worst the PIP form arrived through my letter box. With severe brain fog and whatever else I simply could not face 37 pages at that time. At the time I would have been able to claim mobility and disability, so we're talking about a fair amount of money, much if not all backdated to date of retirement on grounds of ill-health.
