41-year old Gavin recently had part of his left lung removed after being diagnosed with cancer. There is still a tumour in his right lung and he also has emphysema. He worked at Royal Mail until he was assessed by Atos occupational assessors as unfit for work. When he applied for Employment and Support Allowance, Atos assessed him as fit for work. He won at appeal, but continues to be called for repeat assessments. Gavin says, “I’m angry – not at any one person but at the system as a whole. From the start to the finish, they have treated me as if I am lying. I feel that is quite offensive.”
