I find it terribly amusing that ATOS who are tasked with running tests to weed out benefit cheats claiming DLA and other sickness benefits are the ones sponsoring the Paralympics.

My g/f had a ATOS interview and despite her having CFS/ME, Fibromyalgia, Degenerative disc disease, Pelvic Congestion syndrome and a whole host of other long term illnesses they deemed her fit to return to work.

Seriously, WTF is the Government playing at.

Can she walk to the shops? Can she watch TV and surf the internet and go to the toilet by herself? How does any of her afflictions stop her doing a menial desk job a few days a week?
