MHK has Tynwald question about Dependability Ltd
South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft says she’s worried an organisation carrying out assessments on sick people is forcing them back to work while they’re in no condition to return to the workplace.
On Tuesday, she’ll quiz Treasury Minister Eddie Teare about Dependability Limited, who took over the controversial assessments from ATOS.
Mrs Beecroft says she’s hearing more reports from ill people who say they’ve been found fit for work, and face losing their benefits if they refuse to find a job.
She says her question will ask Mr Teare for a statement about the company:
MiCard users who can't use bank accounts to receive new cards
Mountain closure further extended
Chief minister proposes issuing new MiCards to those who can't open bank accounts
Timeline for new CRHS 'a bit tight', says education minister
More details about MiCard replacement could be revealed today
