yea Mike that's the problem ....

I have all the records and MRI scans along with X- Ray along with a Dr who is a spinal surgeon...
Who spent years at collage for his profession and I lost all mine to a ACAS pen pusher who knows more than a qualified Dr .. thats the problem we are up against

I have all the proof but its still no good so I /we lose out that's how bad it is but low and be hold the immigrants who paid nothing into the system can have it ... this is where the struggle comes in and thats why people on DLA ..PIP are voting ukip nothing more just so we get our rights back ..sad to say but its true ..

Many years ago when it was still Invalidity Benefit the Mrs had one of the capability assessments done by ATOS or whoever were their predecessors. Lo and behold she is fit for work, ironically the letter came the same week she was in hospital having more surgery. Appeal logged 50 week wait and the judge slammed the DSS and there assessor and reinstated her benefit backdated to the day they signed her off. The kids had to do without and we ran up further debts just keeping our head above water for the year and it took us a good while to get back on our feet as it were.

Her CPN has already said they will give us evidence to submit with her claim when it comes and they have a welfare rights adviser who will assist with completing the forms. She was originally to be transitioned over to PIP in, the last group on an indefinite award, 2016 but given Gov't efficiencies it is now targeted for 2018. Once bitten twice shy and all that.

Immigrants have nothing to do with it. It's inept Gov't and their corrupt servants in the form of ATOS.

Yea they do because at mates work there immigrants claim for kids back home ( tesco )...they aint got any kids back home as he found out but the money comes from our benefits so we go with out... this is how it works we pay into it and they not paid into the system but still claim our benefit money.
So yes immigrants HAVE A LOT to do with it do not get mislead like you have...
Because our money which is stoped goes where ? and the immigrants claim there money comes from where ... Donald trump ?
No it comes from OUR benefits that I and others have LOST we cant claim trust me there is many people who have looked into this and this is how it works ...

Disgraceful that she/you had that amount of time to wait for a judgement, not just financially, but health wise, so your reluctance to take the initiative is fully understood!

Unfortunately the dreaded day will come again , and frankly, 'preparation is everything' !

The problem with assessments by amateurs ( the recently trained ) is that they appear to be conducting these assessments on the basis that everyone is a 'benefits cheat ' until proven otherwise ( guilty until proven innocent ) and that of course comes straight from their training, or lack of it, and you can safely bet that they carry out 'role playing' Exercises during this training on this very basis - it's like ' the answer is no, now, what's the question'?

Very sorry to hear that - is there a right of appeal?

There is plenty of money sloshing about in the system, enough to give all genuine disability claimants a decent allowance whether DLA or PiP - some £41 billion , that's £ 41,000,000,000, but it is not all going to the needy, and thereby lies the problem, not the funding!

As I said in an earlier post, it takes a brave Government to tackle this problem area, because they are damned if they do, and equally damned if they don't, but it must be tackled and replaced with a much fairer system that only the genuinely needy can access, without the trauma of a long wait and an eventual court hearing - a GP and 'specialist' report must be enough, surely?

Following my redundancy from the "banking world' - thank you Mr. Brown, I became a Director of a Credit Union, where I met 'face to face' hundreds of DLA recipients, and from this hands on experience , I know that many were claiming yet had absolutely nothing wrong with them..

How many billions are spent on false claims and claimants I wonder -even a 10% saving , which would be around £4 Billion, could I guess, satisfy all genuine clalims.
