Was reading on the diary of a benefit scrounger blog by Bendy Girl and wasn't even aware of the fact that ESA50's are being opened by Royal Mail at sorting centres across the country. Mine went to Wembley MSC but like many others, I assumed it would be opened by ATOS or the DWP NOT Royal Mail Staff! How much more do we have to put up with, I would assume this was if not illegal, at least immoral. As we seem to have no rights it's as if anyone can open our confidential medical data and read it along with our names addresses and phone numbers. Isn't this a contravention of the data protection act (amonst others)?

Here's a link to the Disability News Service where the news is listed and if you scroll about half way down you'll see the link to the item.

I am appalled at this country and the way it treats it's disabled.
