    Benefits crackdown 'humiliates' disabled Army war veterans

    Degrading back-to-work welfare assessments that are stripping former soldiers of their benefits

    have been denounced by leading veterans' charities.

    Thousands of ex-servicemen are being pushed to the breadline after being judged fit for work by

    the government-appointed company Atos. Severely wounded veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan,

    who were once entitled to incapacity benefits, are being told they no longer qualify under new

    assessments carried out by Atos on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

    Danny Greeno, chief executive of the Veterans Charity, said: "It is becoming an unbearable situation.

    It should not be happening to people who have served their country. The people doing these

    assessments need to be properly qualified."
