What with all the malarkey about cuts to DLA and ESA and whatnot in the news, we're hearing a lot about ATOS Healthcare these days. For the uninitiated, ATOS are the unutterable fuckwits hard working and efficient company who assess peoples' fitness for work having never seen

I CLAIM MY CAKE!

Bloody hell bureaucracy's a pain in the cunt isn't it?

[tinselworm]

Bollocks. I didn't think anyone would actually read it; now I have to bake a sodding cake too? *g*

At this point, I don't even think it comes under 'bureaucracy'. Just 'pure, unadulterated fuckwittery'.

Mmmncake.

And yet somehow the genuine shirkers and so on will *still* manage to claim successfully, probably. *sighs*

I know. And playing the system, of course, is the logical way around this. It would be far easier for me to sign off ESA, sign back onto Jobseekers for a while and go through the charade of pretending, and then get myself signed off again on ESA after a month or so.

But why the bloody hell should I *have* to, when I have a valid medical certificate stating me as not fit for work, just so that I can pay my rent?

It's fucking ridiculous. I'm so tired of this bullshit.

It is, it's utterly insane.
