https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/concern-over-fit4jobs-questionnaire-that-filters-out-dwp-recruits-with-health-conditions/. "Ministers are facing questions over why the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) is using a strict screening process to filter out potential recruits with #health conditions, while repeatedly complaining that too many #disabled & #older people are not in #jobs." Very much par-for-the-course, @ChrisMayLA6, @HarriettMB.

@rmblaber1956 @ChrisMayLA6 @HarriettMB I seem to recall the DWP had one of the highest employment tribunal rates for disability discrimination specifically from their staff https://www.bigissue.com/news/social-justice/dwp-disability-discrimination-employment-tribunals/ As a disabled person who's had significant dealings with the DWP since 2004ish, I can attest to extensive personal experience of egregious and persistent discrimination both in attitudinal terms and in their failure to do even very basic reasonable adjustments.
