“Visit our office at the top of three flights of stairs to be assessed for disability funds”
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was apparently doing this a few years ago. They would book people in for appointments in an upstairs room and put out of order signs on the lifts. Anyone who made it to the room was automatically denied their benefits.
I say apparently because I didn’t personally know anyone who went through that one. The office that I had to visit had a car park, but no spaces near the door. I was dropped off by the door while my wife parked the car, but another person drove themselves and walked from the car. Their claim was denied, based on the distance they walked.
Of course not taking into account that sometimes you can push yourself harder if you really must, but you will pay for it later. Like having to recover in bed for hours or days later.
