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 :angry:
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' :angry: :(

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 :P

This is the link you mentioned:



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

All the best

Steve

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? :ohmy: :blink:

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
