Atos Healthcare has been declared unfit for work by the Department for Work and Pensions.

The decision followed months of assessments, during which Atos was put through numerous stressful meetings and wrongly recommended for work despite its deteriorating state.

The company will lose state benefits - also known as 'a contract' - worth £500m per year.

It is now hoped that the same ruling will be applied to Iain Duncan Smith.
