I'm sorry Chris, I missed your thread. This money is paid to ATOS and Capita and the Tribunals for reassessment and appeals of which 70% are successful.

Shades of 2009 re-revisited ... CarerWatch days ... and the work some of us put into the argument for taking family / kinship carers OUT of the then current benefits system ... by creating a separate category emboded in a " Carers Charter.

Like Motability bosses sitting on £200 million of unspent funds? Big bonuses for what? I checked out the monthly cost of a basic Motability Ford fiesta diesel automatic through Motability and I compared it to the monthly price of a 3 year business contract including all the same things as a Motabili...
