Thats from 2008 so labour would still have been in then. Seems they helped disabled people adapt their vehicles via the motibility scheme?
Anyway. ATOS were given their contract by labour to begin with. So they are kinda to blame for whats going on now. However, not fully. The tests were never as draconian as they are now. The coalition tightened the guidelines SO much when they realised people were 'sicker than expected' that now you pretty much have to be a corpse to pass the medicals.
The disabled get the ****ty end of the stick whoever is in power tbh. But it seems worse right now than ever before. |
yea my uncle drives a mobility car but says the choice is too limited so he buys his own choice of car and adapts it with a semi automatic (tiptronic) system and hand controls....that costs him about £2000 but if he wants to sell his peugeot and buy any other vehicle he has to buy all new controls again? even if its the exact same peugeot, labour made it illegal to move the semi automatic and hand controls across... crazy
both governments have failed the disabled....look at disabled access....my uncle cannot get in most buildings still, that includes church, what a disgrace.
