Subject: ESA and Work Capability Assessments
With so many cuts and changes to benefits, and an increasingly heartless system behind it all, it's a stressful time for sick and disabled people. That's why I signed the WOW petition, which calls for an end to the Work capability Assessment (as called for by the British Medical Association in 2012) and a New deal for sick and disabled people. Russell Brand and Stephen Fry have signed it, but it has only 77,000 signatures at the moment, and needs to get to 100,000 by December 12th to get a debate in Parliament. We need to let the powers that be know that we're not happy and we deserve better. Please go to www.wowpetition.com now and sign it. And get all your friends and family to sign it too, because one day they could be sick or disabled and the system may fail them. Thank you.
