It is realistic to assume that the DWP and ATOS are petrified of the thought of any claimant, who has been wrongly identified as fit for work and subse...
Not exactly the most sincere apology I have seen and it contains no indication at all of concern of doing anything differently in the future. The coup...

Meanwhile,for anyone interested in the detail, here is a 'home-made' link to the ICO decision in question:-

I am sorry to say I learned last week that my reference to the ICO in this matter didn't get over that office's interpretation of the facts and the 'le...
Someone must have put half a fire-cracker somewhere appropriate because the DWP has actually responded a week before the statutory time limit.
Still...

Exactly, JS.
The wording of the 'process document' here (agreed between Atos and the DWP on 04 01 13) says:-
"The copies must be made following the...

I 'cast my net' in the hope of catching some more, slimy, 'audio-recording' material.
No joy there - but it is indeed interesting to examine what has...
Agreed D.A.
Now for something a little different.
Since my typing is frequently chaotic, and I am perfectly capable of producing the occasional gra...
Entirely agreed, JS.
So, on the Atos wepage in question:

Thank you for that, John.
Gerald Jones' query obviously includes, but covers more than, policy questions concerning audio-recording of WCAs by claima...
Indeed, John. This is a document we will certainly get out of them in the end - or, if it 'vanishes', then there are the criminal provisions in the FoI...
Excellent 'pounce' on the inaccurate consent form text, JS. Every time the DWP tries to patch up its 'leaky dam' it seems to sprout two fresh leaks els...
Aha! I think the acknowledgment that the 'decision maker's' obligation to consider ALL available evidence extends to consdidering an audo-recording (if...
You are dead right there, John - and of course I had largely drafted my referral to the ICO before I put this request in (!)
Nevertheless, courtesy n...
The bit in bold (or one of them) reads:-
"WE WILL NOT ACCEPT LAPTOPS"
John. That is an absolutely ourageous assertion by the DWP, and I concur: the DWP's position on this illegal -and getting worse, the more it is probed....
JS. I am glad to see that Gerald Jones here asked the dead on 'have you a policy' question you suggest on 30 01 13. One to follow.
It is extraordinar...
Tum-te-tum.

John. Thank you for your, interest, annotation and above all that revealing RPF-27 enquiry. It is a great pleasure to note how far round the net that h...
