Using undercover filming, reporter Jackie Long investigates the shocking processes used to assess whether
sickness and disability benefit claimants should be declared fit for work.

I've seen a claim that Jackie Long used a doctor to go undercover, with a secret camera etc.  Jackie Long herself is a journalist and, as you probably know, she has done a lot of relevant digging.  I am told that the doctor was horrified by the medical inadequacy of Atos' assessments.  

The BMA keep calling for HMG to end these iniquitous Atos assessment but the BMA's ineffectual gnashing of its gums won't do any good:  the BMA needs an effective set of dentures, in my view!

BBC 2 Panorama will be screening a programme at 8.30pm on Monday 30 July entitled "Disabled or Faking It?"  I've not heard anything about the contents of the Panorama programme. 

From the TV listings, it seems that Dispatches and Panorama are only 30 minutes each so I suspect that the respective producers have arranged for the programmes not to overlap.
