        They do work Sundays on enhanced pay. Would have thought Mon-Sat would be enough days to get through the workload.

        nope,workload is high cause they permanently reassess every1 almost yearly now,even those with degenerate/chronic conditions seem fair game

        Yes, that's true. Yearly reassessment is the name of the game.

        It seems that money is no object when it comes to corporate welfare co's. This is on top of a 65% pay rise per ESA assessment for Maximus.

        what makes you think that? do they not look disabled enough to you or do you think only physical disabilities count?
