Investigate Atos and Capita assessments for PIP and ESA.

Closed 766 signatures

What the petition asks

Everyday ill and disabled people are assessed by Atos and Capita for PIP and ESA on behalf of DWP. Many of these assessments are humiliating and degrading for the vulnerable people who attend. STOP the lies and injustice that is happening through these assessments of the ill and disabled .
The reports are inaccurate and full of lies leading to many claimants having their benefits reduced or taken away. Even when complaints are lodged with these companies and DWP nothing is done. Many claimants then have to challenge these awards and or go to appeal causing more stress and hardship , all costing the tax payer more money . Stop these assessment now and put in place the correct procedures with the medical professionals who have the correct knowledge.
