Atos has faced fierce criticism from disability campaigners for the work capability assessments (WCAs) it carries out on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)...... In response .... Iain Duncan Smith has described stealing a wheelchair as an act of ‘tough love’. As a French amputee swimmer had his chair stolen, the work and pensions secretary called for a nationwide programme of wheelchair theft which would send a ‘clear message’ to Britain’s disabled people. He added: “They don’t get out of them very often and for very long, so you’ll need to be quick. “Ideally you want to be able to chuck it into the back of a van. And then it’s off to the nearest disused quarry. “I’m going to steal one right now.”
