This case again shows how the true extent to which the coalition government will go to destroy the lives of seriously ill & disabled people, one does not have to be a Qualified doctor to see this poor man isn’t capable of work.
Any of you people out there who truly think the sick & Disabled are malingering or swinging the lead than think again, very soon it will be your turn or even worse someone who you truly love?
I make this plea now, everyone who reads this story MUST send their MP and the Leaders of each Party a copy of this appalling story demanding that the government end this torture programme with immediate effect, let’s bombard the people in Parliament that WE pay with the real truth about what’s going on?

Widow Lyn Coupe has vowed to fight in her dead husband’s name to overturn the decision to axe his £50-a-week incapacity benefit
Cancer victim David Coupe did not live long enough to win his appeal against a cruel welfare cash cut.
But his widow Lyn has vowed to fight on and overturn the decision to axe his £50-a-week incapacity benefit.
The couple’s plight was thrust into the spotlight this week by Labour MP Dennis Skinner.
He told the House of Commons that Atos, the private firm behind fitness- to-work tests, was “unfit for purpose” and a “heartless monster”.
Yesterday it was revealed that 150,000 people have raised concerns about the tests run by the healthcare company on behalf of the Government.
Even PM David Cameron criticised “the quality of decision making”.
Lyn’s husband was seriously ill for 24 years with a badly injured back, a heart condition and diabetes.
She said Atos decided he was “capable of limited employment” and his benefit was cut, leaving them with just £71 a week. He appealed but was told a ruling would take almost a year.
