As the WCA is plainly invalid – it does not measure what it is supposed to test – shouldn’t the benefit be renamed Invalidity Allowance?

The problem with that is that Invalidity Allowance suggests that those who claim it are invalid- that is, by dictionary definition, that they do not matter. And ESA claimants DO matter!

In 2002 doctors did a lot of assessments by 2008 they used nurses more and more but in 2010 I got a doctor for my ESA claim, she has since disappeared off the GMC register, and all other ESA assessments have been paper assessments and just rubber stamped by a DM as WRAG. I haven’t been seen for a WFI since Feb 2013, 2 years 7 months, but have had one WCA in July 2013.
They say maximus are 12 months behind in assessments, but I don’t care,
