(As posted on FB for those thinking I have read this before whom are on my FB friends list)
As if we needed any proof here in the attached newsletter is the amounts assessors are being paid and bonuses, meaning an assessor who does just 1 extra assessment per day can earn £2125 in bonuses alone per week. Yes you read that right
Then they wonder why the assessors are rushing and not doing assessments properly (only ATOS, not the others who say they aren't paying additional bonuses on top of the usual bonuses now. They still get a bonus incentive though)
That is if the assessors are truthful anyway as alot of them aren't proven by the fact 68% of appeals are overturned at a appeal in the claimants favour, on ESA and PIPS. I am not saying all are untruthful however there is proof some deliberately are.
Let us not forget on top of the 68% overturned there are those who die before appeal, either through their illness or suicide which again is proven.
Also proving those who aren't deliberately being untruthful are not able to do the job properly as that is big % no's that are overturned at appeal.
There has been a massive hike, for example, in complaints of physiotherapists assessing mental health patients, which is ridiculous. The government are ignoring this information and not ensuring the right qualified person assesses at an assessment interview
