The WCA in itself is a farce, the way it's carried out by Atos is even worse. GP, specialist and other medical professional opinion over years of knowing the person makes no difference: what matters is a narrow 30-45 minute consultation with someone who may or may not have any medical training.

I can understand that a non-professional with a checklist can "miss" mental health problems. But obvious physical disability? Working for Atos (and apparently the DWP) seems to mean checking in your humanity at the door.
