It is my opinion that all benefit renewal assessments should stop (for the next 3 months they're still doing paper and telephone assessments), and no current award be ended. Given the current circumstances no PIP / DLA / AA claimant should face having this income ended. 
The healthcare professionals working for Maximus, Capita and Atos (IAS) conducting these assessments on behalf of the DWP can then be encouraged to return to the NHS during this national crisis.

If you agree please email / contact your MP.

Also you may wish to contact your MP about the government providing emergency support to Charities helping vulnerable people during this time, (in the same way as it has for small and medium sized business).

    Having these assessors lapped health professionals? Brought back into the health care system somebody is having a laugh surely we wouldn't want these people working on busy NHS hospital wards. They earn more than nurse's and I don't think they could cope the hours, shifts, pay cut or the whole working environment. Complete change from their office hours work time now.
