Dispatches on channel 4 tonight.

Should be worth watching. Galen said that she had seen claimants breeze in, then limp into the tribunal when their turn came.

Yes, it was interesting to see the claims assessor who said he had at times earned many thousands of pounds a month for rushing through interviews in the early years of Capita's contract with the DwP. It was also interesting to see his total lack of professionalism and his foul, disgusting comments about claimants. This obnoxious man was thought by other members of the staff team to be an effective assessor and a good role model - heaven forbid! Fortunately, he has got the sack but how many more like him are employed and what does it say about this company's selection processes?

There no doubt are claimants who are "swinging the lead" but to use this sort of conveyor belt approach to everyone and to employ people who are so obviously unsuited for such sensitive work is, in my view, wrong.

I`ve not watched yet but it is good to see dispatches covering this .
I would also say it would be very difficult to get to this stage while swinging the lead , the booklet you have to fill in (around 50 pages) with evidence in the form of hospital and Dr reports , test results , prescriptions etc would make the possibility of faking it impossible and even when you have included all this evidence you can still be turned down . It is a pity the same such scrutiny isn`t applied to certain MP`s tax returns .

What would they say to such trashy scrutineers?

My son is autistic he was turned down after a five minute assessment. The system doesn't work.

I intended to watch this but got distracted and missed it.
