Reposting this. Thanks to the original uploader. <br /><br />Description by original uploader: <br /><br />A short video (my phone ran out of space!) showing an argument I had with ATOS staff at the Romford medial assessment centre after they discriminated against me due to my disability. <br /><br />I had an appointment for my ESA application. I knew beforehand that I could only attend in my wheelchair if, in the event of a fire, I could use the stairs to evacuate the building. I was fine with this as I could have help from my Mum (who accompanied me) to do so. <br /><br />When I was called for my appointment by the medical assessor (from the waiting room) I was told that I could not go through the door leading to the assessment rooms in my wheelchair - I would have to walk. <br /><br />I asked why this was but did not receive an explanation except for mentions of 'health and safety'. <br /><br />Due to their actions they did not assess me, only doing so due to the fact that I was in a wheelchair - which alleviates some of the symptoms of my disability (CFS/ME). <br /><br />In doing so they broke the law - 2010 Equality Act - to which they did not seem to find a problem with.
