Maximus Employment & Training Ltd, Queen Anne’s GATE, London, UK. 2nd March 2015. Activists from the Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) stage a national day of action against Maximus, the company set to take over from Atos running the Work Capability Assessments (WCAs) for sickness and disability benefits. The demonstrators claim that past and present assessments have been used to strip benefits from hundreds of thousands of sick and disabled people after a brief computer based test ruled them ‘fit for work’. A growing number of suicides have been directly linked to the current vetting system, whilst charities, medical staff and claimants themselves have warned of the desperate consequences for those left with no money at all. // Lee Thomas, Flat 47a Park East Building, Bow Quarter, London, E3 2UT.
