Yes that's correct

 

you think CG would have took IDS with him

Note that Grayling states at least four times that ATOS do not take decisions, all decisions are made by DM's at JCP. In reality the only decision the DM's make is how hard to rubber stamp the ATOS assessment.

Also note that on the subject of mandatory revision before appeal, Grayling states that in effect revision before appeal is already happening, but conveniently leaves out that whilst at the moment claimants continue to receive benefits during the revision, from next year they won't.

they are heading for disaster with this policy, once this kicks in and the decisions are made people are going to drag themselves to the jobcentre in order to receive their generous JSA allowance come what may...this is going to push the unemployment figures well over the 3 million figure...now people may not notice the sick and ill but they notice the unemployment figures and it worries them...maggie got into this situation, hence a lot of people were pushed onto IB in order to massage the figures...

they do not have that luxury

Yes seemed a pre prepared speech with minor changes to factor in a couple of questions.

 

Those in the gallery got too emotional they almost played into his hands by getting that debate stopped altogether.

Worried: Those in the gallery got too emotional they almost played into his hands by getting that debate stopped altogether.

 

I was not meaning thank you to them, my thanks were to the people who stood up and spoke in their capacity of our representatives, IMHO they did a wonderful job echoing all the points that I see written on here everyday.

 

I ended up shouting at the gallery to shut up as I was worried that they would stop the debate..

 

The one comment that made me laugh that Grayling made was that if people contacted him with their concerns he would gladly answer them, (that was not word for word btw) I remember thinking yes and hell will freeze over!

[worried33]

Yep agreed.
