davidgillon Ick, 3000 words sent off to the Department of Work and Pensions' Call for Evidence on why the ESA Work Capability Assessment is broken.
Mostly repeating the tale of woe reported in my very first blog post, but with added analysis as to why the problem may be the entire DWP ethos (essentially they've screwed up pretty much every time they have talked to me about disability, we're way past 'three times is enemy action'). It's taken until now to be able to face the fiasco that was my WCA again, and I can make a convincing case I've still got elevated pain levels four months later!
Submissions have to be in by Friday 10th September, so if you have anything to say, take a look at this quick.
Tomorrow's task: the EHRC's Call for Evidence on Disability Harassment, also due by Friday (yes, I work better with a deadline).
