Alex has a double leg amputation, muscle spasms and depression. He was assessed as fit for work and his benefits stopped, leaving him without any means to pay for food, gas, electricity or rent. Alex says, “The woman from Atos didn’t even look at my legs. She just told me to push down with my legs and my arms and that was it. She said I was in there for about 40 minutes, which was a load of rubbish. I was only in her office for about six minutes – I timed it.”
