Proof that ATOS expect people with incurable conditions like cerebral palsy to "get better"

Reblogged from Pride's Purge:


(it’s not satire – it’s ATOS!)

I’m not a doctor. I have no medical qualifications.

But I do know cerebral palsy is an incurable condition.

Which means I’m clearly more informed about medical matters than some of the doctors working for ATOS.

Amy has cerebral palsy but she has been told by a so-called health professional working for ATOS that she has to be reassessed every 6 months because her disability is expected to get better.

Here it is in black and white:

What next? Reassessments of people with missing limbs in case they’ve grown back?

Of course, some people would say that this is yet more proof of the incompetence of the medical staff employed by ATOS.

Or maybe this is proof that the government is using ATOS - for purely political reasons – simply to make life more difficult for people with genuine disabilities to claim benefits?
