I realise the assessors are not specialists and that's why I say it should be a specialist. At the very least the claimants doctor/surgeon/consultant will know what is really going on with the claimants health and should be consulted by the assessor. I know most people want to make their symptons sound worse than they are and if they can get away with it, they will.
I used Anorexia as an example because I know the person suffering with it and I can tell you she is nowhere near death through starvation, nor does she have any medical complications that could arise. What she does have is Lazyitis. She knows she can get virtually anything from the government by claiming Anorexia and she will starve herself to do it. That is not right. I call that abusing the system and would like to see it stopped
