Their bosses give them targets for denying as much in benefits as they can. The front line workers are traumatised by their own actions and tend to develop unhealthy coping strategies. One of those strategies is dehumanising claimants but there are many other terrible strategies.

When I was made unemployed a few years ago, I didn’t make any benefit claims in order avoid having contact with the DWP.
