London, UK. 6th September 2016. Kilburn Unemployed Workers Group protest against the many different cuts and attacks on claimants, particularly those with disabilities outside the BMA HQ in Tavistock Square. They were protesting against medical evidence from GPs being dismissed by Maximus assessors of fitness for work, most of whom lack appropriate medical knowledge and urge the BMA to confront the government over this, and for the BMA to stop advising GPs to charge patients for letters needed by patients for Work Capability Assessments.
