I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,
This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
You can see the video here.

A DWP spokesperson later told Disability News Service (DNS) that there were no plans to move to a single set of eligibility criteria across the two benefits – one of the many concerns raised by campaigners – and that the announcement was not a step towards moving to a single disability benefit covering both extra costs and out-of-work payments.
She said the new digital platform would “enable much greater information sharing between the two assessments” and that it would be “rolled out carefully – learning as we go”.
So try not to panic yet. If you want to opt-out sharing your full medical records to the DWP.
Type in google "opt-out NHS or ask your GP practice to do it for you.
Reasons for opting out, could be one of many, like personal delicate information you don't want to share with anyone other than your GP etc.
Remember the only medical information is needed and explains your functionality to day to day and daily tasks etc.
Wow that is totally insane the system is so f--ked up they seem to employ anyone they don't care all they care about is getting there dollars & righting **** reports on us & making us go through tribunals ☹ to fight for what we deserveKissimmee90 said:My interview yesterday was just appalling. she said the computer was down and had not read any of my notes. All the questions were irrelevant to my issues. At the end of the interview she said, I see you have had a stroke, (thought she couldn't read my notes). I did mention that I had had 2 TIA's. She then said to me, That's irrelevant. I could not believe what I was hearing.
While waiting for the interview my brother-in-law and I were sitting in the waiting room. A woman came in and said she was there for an interview for an assessor's job. The person who greeted her asked for her professional qualifications etc. I could not believe what I was hearing. This person said she had South African documents detailing her nursing career, are they valid to pass any sort of comment on a UK citizen under interview. Secondly, she was asked for proof of living in the UK, i.e. Address etc. She said she did not have any at this time as she was staying at a friend's. Is this how ATOS run this contract, plus the DWP letting this happen. I cannot express what I want to say on this. We are fighting an uphill battle while others get fat on the unfortunates misfortune.
