OMG has anyone read 'benefit staff to be nice'

oh my I was glad to be already lying down when I read what Prof Harrington said... especially when I got to the bit about what happens during the ESA process!!!!!!
BBC news website in the politics section... read it if you fancy a chuckle... I think thats the word that means what I'm thinking I'd do a link but brain won't let me remember how today
the person who rang me didn't ask me anything and was a loooooonnnnggg way from 'nice' my stuttering out I couldn't get to a jobcentre was 'not my problem'

Hi Linda,

I think this is the link you're referring to : Spot checks on sick benefit staff ordered to be 'nicer'

Best wishes.

Pat

Know what you mean Linda, had my first WFI last week and the questions I was asked were ridiculous.
I have extreme difficulty walking with bad angina, but was asked if I went round the supermarket with my wife and did I go walking the dog?

I abruptly told her I did not have a dog and Tesco's delivery works well

This is the link you mentioned:



Keep your chin up and remember, pay peanuts and you get monkeys

All the best

Steve

thanks for the link... show offs with brain cells that work LOL
I do keep telling myself that dwp staff are under paid over worked and have 'targets' to meet... but there are still plenty who are also decent human beings... aren't there?

Did you notice I put the link in with invisible ink to fool you
Come on, own up, who pinched it

Notice how the BBC has left out the comma lol quite deceiving.

Spot checks on sick benefit staff ordered to be 'nicer'

Should it not read:

Spot checks on sick benefit, staff ordered to be 'nicer'

Yes only a little comma but it makes all the difference
