Pudsey Bear’s WCA
As a celebration of Children In Need, I gave Pudsey Bear a WCA.
Pudsey Bear’s WCA
Here’s what happened when Pudsey, the disabled bear, went for a Work Capability Assessment to the offices of ATOS.
ATOS Worker: Hello, please sit down.
(Pudsey sits, looking confused)
ATOS Worker: So, he can sit independently. How are you today?
Pudsey: Good, thank you.
ATOS Worker: Hold your arms out, turn your hands over. Straighten your fingers.
Pudsey: I don’t have hands, or fingers.
ATOS Worker: Hmmm… stand up on your tiptoes.
Pudsey: I don’t have toes… or feet.
ATOS Worker: Hmm… please remove that horrible scarf from across your face. Open your right eye.
Pudsey: It’s not a scarf, it’s an eye patch. And I don’t have a right eye. One of the children pulled it off. That’s why I had to stop working. I’m partially sighted.
ATOS Worker: Children? You have children? You’re not disabled! Disabled people can’t have CHILDREN!
Pudsey: They’re not my children… I’m a charity mascot… they’re the children I help.
ATOS Worker: A charity mascot? So, you already have a job. Disability benefit fraud… well well well.
Pudsey: But I’m a partially sighted teddy bear with no fingers, hands, toes or feet…
ATOS Worker: Well, Mr Pudsey, if you’re fit to be in the same room as children, you’re fit to work. Close the door on your way out. NEXT!
Same Difference
