Everything works against you at these things... showing up at all, getting there using public transport, coming alone, sitting in the waiting room, responding when the "doctor" calls your name... it's a fucking disgrace.

I had my form from A*** a few weeks ago, to change over from IS to ESA, and am waiting to see what they have to say about it. I'm totally expecting to be summoned to one of their offices for another one of their so-called "medicals".
I really despise this system too - I also think it is ludicrous that a doctor I've never met could say in ten minutes that I'm fit for work whilst my GP and two specialists say otherwise. That's if your" medical" is conducted by a doctor. And the worst thing is the sly antics they get up to, like making small talk to illicit evidence that you can do things that you've indicated you can't on your form.

I really want it to end up costing the government through their own screw-ups and blind stupidity what they said they'd save by cutting benefits to some of the most needy in society. Hopefully it'll become so damned costly that the government will be forced to abandon this bullshit.
