Just another example of why we need the EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS as this disgusting and callous disregard for a child with such disability is an example of what we can expect from this country without it.
Is it not time to hold those who make the decisions liable for them. On the face of it this is outrageous. The person clearly requires further training before being allowed to carry out any more assessments. There should be financial liability (punitive damages) which would make the DWP rethink their approach.
