Reasons to Vote Labour

REASON 2
ATOS AND PIP ASSESSMENTS
In the name of austerity and supposedly trying to stop people claiming lots
and lots of benefits they shouldn't be entitled to the Conservatives use the
organisation, laughingly called, "Atos Healthcare" to carry out PIP (Personal
Independence Payments) Assessments with incentivised targets to find sick
people to be capable of work and take away their benefits.
By the use of both numerical targets, which have no basis in any evidence
based assessment of the situation, and financial incentive payments the
government are able to take benefits away from many genuinely sick people
and reward their friends in a commercial organisation for doing so.
After the benefits have been taken away the claimants are able to appeal,
and should they survive long enough (many don't as we well know), the
majority of them get the benefit reinstated. That would be because it was
wrong to take it off them in the first place!
Of course this is all designed so that we can target any lazy scroungers and
protect the growing fortunes of the wealthiest against any sensible taxation.
And the crazy part is that doing all this ends up costing more than just paying
the benefit.
This is one of the cruelest and most vindictive policies that even a
conservative government has ever implemented. It is wrong. It is very very
wrong.
VOTE LABOUR TO END THIS IMMORAL AND INIQUITOUS
PROGRAMME OF DEPRIVING AND EVEN KILLING THE
MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY.
