Can’t work due to bad mental health? You’re a selfish scrounger with no self respect according to the NHS director of mental health Claire Murdoch in the Times On Friday

I agree that services should work togehter to best help people but how that looks in reality can be vastly different to what people think it should. What could happen here is a mental health professional can identify what the issue is, suggest a course of treatments to help, the last thing that will help that is a DWP work coach getting in the way.
@zleap This is one of the main issues with the DWP and people with physical and emotional issues. The DWP has no control over the quality of the assessment process and someone with no medical background at all deciding who is disabled enough to receive the correct level of benefit from that process. Someone has a bad day and the disabled get the brunt of it. They removed the GP from the process. Over 300,000 needless deaths since inception and they want to spread it to the NHS
