ESA/WRAG HELP REQUEST : Filing United Nations complaints against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

From Samuel Miller:

[UK] If you are a sick and disabled individual currently in the Work-related Activity Group (WRAG),please send me a scan of your physician's letter explicitly stating that you are NOT fit for work.

This information is needed for the filing of United Nations complaints against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

It is my opinion that the British government's mandatory Work Programme for sick and/or disabled persons is in violation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which it signed on September 16, 1968 and ratified on May 20, 1976. (See 
http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/pdf/cescr.pdfand http://www2.ohchr.org/english/law/cescr-ratify.htm)

Further, it is my opinion the British government is violating the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Optional Protocol. (See 
http://www.un.org/disabilities/documents/convention/convoptprot-e.pdf and http://www.un.org/disabilities/countries.asp?navid=12&pid=166)

Thanking you in advance.
