The simple fact that the ATOS / Capita "medical professionals" who carry out the very short assessments (less than an hour) are usually paramedics, physiotherapists or young nurses shows how the system is being rigged to deny applicants the aid they deserve.

At least at tribunal you get a proper time-served doctor, a disability specialist and an unbiased serving judge.

But not for long, as moves are afoot again to move everything online with DWP-paid tribunal panels.
