Comrades will appreciate hearing that this story of a hateful disability benefits entitlement assessor getting some sort of 'come-uppance':

Incidentally, this instance is not the first time that a disability-benefits-eligibility assessor has been outed for hateful views by way of their Facebook content.

I am also pleased to report that my finding a May 2016 press release on Sunday by way of a Google search for the American 'health insurance' company Unum helped source another new Disability News story:

The contacts to whom I fed that story by email were Mo Stewart, Prof. Peter Beresford, and Disability News Service's sole reporter John Pring.

The latter Google search stemmed out of an extension of the Internet search rankings experiment outlined in the blog post

Investigating benefit ‘fraud': a case study

Posted on November 18, 2014 by Nick Goldberg

As part of their contract with Westminster Council Capita have been paying companies to conduct investigations into allegedly fraudulent housing benefit claims. Often these investigations have been triggered by people falling out with their neighbours or similar petty reasons. Most investigations rarely, if ever, lead to a prosecution.

Often the reasons for these claims are not fully explained to our clients, even when they have a solicitor involved.
