WCA Assessor To Claimant With Depression: “Why Haven’t You Killed Yourself Yet?’
December 6, 2014
An ESA claimant has explained how an Atos work capability assessor asked her why she had not yet killed herself, after she admitted suffering with depression.
Abi Fallows described the interview on the I bet I can find a million people who DON’T want David Cameron as our PM Facebook group after reading Vox Political‘s article on the hidden cost of the Coalition Government’s benefits policy.
“At my last Atos ‘assessment’, when mentioning depression, the ‘assessor’ asked me why I hadn’t killed myself yet,” she told astonished members of the Facebook group.

That same assessor also said ‘Haven’t I seen you before?’ – if she did, then it was not an impartial assessment. I agreed to go ahead with it anyway thinking that maybe if she had seen me before, she’d understand the issues I’ve been having better. I was very much mistaken.
