ATOS, PURVEYOR OF MISERY.

            ATOS is a French firm paid £millions of UK tax payers money to try to strip those in the UK of their disability benefit. It creates mayhem and misery among thousands of vulnerable people, all in a millionaire sponsored callous attempt to meet the austerity cuts dictated by the financial Mafia cuts program. People across the country are being pushed and bullied and placed under extra unnecessary pressure because they don’t know how to handle the situation. It is advisable to prepare yourself and if possible, a colleague, in advance of the interview. To this end a information claim form has been produce which you can download here Atos Claim,
 
     ATOS and their pals in the government make money by throwing disabled people into destitution. Hundreds of people across the country will be taking action to clog up their phone lines, their fax machines and their email in-boxes.

This will hit Atos where it hurts: In the wallet! It's the only thing they care about and the only thing they'll listen to. 

 Next Communications Blockade:
Blocking Atos's communications costs them money. It's the only thing they care about. Be polite and let them know what you think of their business practice.

Subject: Atos – Stop Making Profits From The Sick And Disabled

To the recipient,  

      Your sister company Atos Healthcare makes profits by carrying out Work Capability Assessments for the DWP on the sick and disabled. Studies have shown these assessments to be highly inaccurate. Over 70% of Atos decisions declaring sick and disabled people as ‘fit for work’ are overturned on appeal, with the help of an advice centre, which the public have to pay for. Both Channel 4’s Dispatches and BBC’s Panorama programmes shown recently exposed the brutal reality of Work Capability Assessments. It has been shown that Atos set targets of passing only 12 to 13% as unfit for work. The process is driven by cost cutting not objective medical opinion. The Government with the help of Atos are cutting benefits to reduce the public debt caused by bankers gambling on the financial markets. The most vulnerable in society are being made to pay for the greed of bankers and the inevitable booms and busts of capitalist economics.

Please pass this message on to your bosses: Stop making profits from the sick and disabled.
