ATOS: Notes From A Tribunal

11.55.
Waiting room.
I'm late.
Waiting again.
Young straight couple, 22-25
Clinging together
Look like they're holding on for dear life.

12.04
'Yes, okay, Mr Smith.
We'll see you now.
Sorry. We got it wrong.
You're clearly properly mad. 
Goodbye.'
(I'm grateful, of course, but it's all a bit Judge Judy).

12.09.
Walking out I hold the door open for an old lady
As her husband helps her out of the disabled lift
She walks - aching, hobbling - with a stick.

Off to see if she's too to be declared "unfit for work".
