Disabled war veteran with brain hemmorhage wins back his benefits


From the Facebook page ‘The people vs the Government, DWP and ATOS:

“Brilliant result in Rochdale Tribunal today with our latest victory for a distinquished Falklands war veteran, who was found fit for work earlier this year by DWP. He suffered a devastating brain hemorrhage with life threatening complications yet the ATOS GP didnt think it was relevant when doing the necessary tests to establish whether he was fit for work. One of the most ludicrous decisions I have seen this year, and thankfully the Judge didnt keep him in too long before overturning the ATOS report today. The mental destruction and financial burden on being told you are not disabled has had its toll on him, as it does with all our other fightback clients, these assessments just have to stop they are cruel and barbaric in their current form.”
