CarerWatch Forum and the risk of potentially 'libellous' hyperlinks

"The posting which we consider to be defamatory against Atos Healthcare and our employees is dated March 23rd, 8:51 pm."

Yes, this uproar is off the back of a post from five months ago.

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."

It goes without saying that we in the British disabled community are well aware of the flaws inherent in the application process and health exams for Employment Support Allowance (ESA), the ESA Work Capability Assessment (WCSA) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA). There have been numerous stories of the Harrington Review as well as media profiles of ordinary people living with disabilities and how they cope (or don't). Only recently, it seems, has there been significant mention of Atos Origin, the private French IT firm contracted by the previous government  to facilitate the health exams, the impact of this on people with disabilities and concerns about some of the doctors carrying out the assessements.
