Hi all,
This is an Important to all Claimants on ESA and PIP
Yes, you read the title correctly...
You have only a short time to opt out of having your identifiable, confidential GP medical records sold, with the help of Atos, to drug companies and who knows who else?
For more details click on the following link and look for Benefits and Work, then look on Benefits and News.

They have all the information you need to opt out.
Report your own case about ATOS, Capita and Maximus, and how you were treated to the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). As from next month they are all being investigated
I will leave the prerogative to you! I'm sure many of you have many stories to tell.
Regards,
Les.

You are welcome, many people did not know about it - a few opted out back last year, with their children's details as well (in the wrong hands these could lead to crimes being commited, on a global scale).
Surely, a letter to your doctor will give you access to that information, or just a quick reminder note.
That information went public, but there is no mention of it on the news or media (again!). I see yesterday, IDS was not happy with the High Court decision on doing the U-turn on his "Carers Allowance Capping". It is true what my wife said though, she is paid just over £60 a week (which is classed as a taxable income as well), to look after me 24/7/365 - I bet IDS would not do all what she does for the small amount of cash, it is unreal.
Reporters tried to get an interview with IDS yesterday after losing the High Court, but he walked on by, and that High Court U-turn cost the Tax-payers £59,000, and now they are appealing.
Mind you they have been caught out in many matters lately, one which is big never even reached the media - I wonder why...hehe
Regards,
Les.
