I would be inclined to translate it as: "We know what we are doing disadvantages those groups, but nobody so far has found a way of stopping us". Their point - that they can delay and improvement/change until the tribunal is fair enough, but using that phrase in the way they do makes it seem like code for "don't give a shit".<br /><br />It also troubles me that mental health, autism and LD are lumped together like this. Sure, their are common problems - but how many people with LD HAVE a psychiatrist? Or even a GP who has much of a clue? My daughter has been disabled from birth, she isn't going to get better, and the level of interest from the medical profession ain't great. Any half wit could see that a Work Capability Assessment is more than a bit pointless, but the ATOS system is something else, isn't it?Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02037614816418802880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568034298343558962.post-46789880534871999352014-01-22T16:35:36.573+00:002014-01-22T16:35:36.573+00:00Hi, I have a question related to your experience w...Hi, I have a question related to your experience with disablity and can't find your contact info on the site.
