Ouch! Assessment like that hasn't happened to me yet, but it will. It scares me witless.

i'm terribly sorry that it hit you so hard. :(

and it makes ABSOLUTE sense that it would hit a person that badly, the disabled person is having to PROVE that they cannot possibly work, which is a hugely difficult thing to do.

Those tests aren't done directly by any UK Govt agency. They're outsourced. Until last year Atos had the contract to do the tests but now, Maximus has that contract. Here are the websites of Atos http://uk.atos.net/en-uk/home.html and Maximus https://www.maximusuk.co.uk/... )

I do know a couple of people who have had the tests through Maximus. By all account it sounds like they were more pleasant in person and both claims were successful. The man I saw in ATOS made no attempt to inform me of his qualifications or try to put me at ease. He was rude, offensive, insensitive, condescending and utterly humiliated me.

He also had utterly vile breath.

Stinky breath could have been due to any of several ailments. I don't suppose you were in the mood to turn back his condescension, suggesting a cure for gingivitis.
