Rejected petition Fix the way Atos is handling PIP claims and wrongly denying benefit

PIP is a benefit replacing DLA for disabled/ill people.
There is a backlog of people waiting for a decision & many people being turned down unfairly.
Atos employees lie about evidence they are presented with at interviews/discount the extent of a persons' illness/disability, to deny them PIP.
