I'm sorry to hear that my ops in two days and they still want me to look for work

in reply to Tracy331

The staff should be ashamed too work for such a corrupt and dishonest organization disgusting blatantly telling lies about people for money talk about dishonesty they are the experts. I do hope nobody I ever come across works for this mob of imbeciles as I will/would disown them. As you may gather I have utter contempt for the stress and distress these idiot have put me through following my brain heamorrage.

Totally understandable

in reply to Tracy331

And I should be doing 10hours a week looking for work, even though I'm signed off long term by a doctor. So I should ring up and explain I'm on the sick but would/love to come for a job interview that I can't do or start. Pathetic and just try to stress you back into work, I have to prove to them I'm not fit despite the hospital professor, doctors etc who can vouch for me, why don't they ask them with my permission of course as they don't mind giving my medical I'm formation too Atos/capita without my permission, I thought that was illegal in the UK.

It is there's a section on forms that say they share you're info it's 2 sentences and when you sign for claim you're stuffed cause if you don't you can't claim

in reply to Tracy331

They share it but why don't they speak to the professionals who say I can't work instead of putting us through an interrogation interview at which it's the job of them to upset and confuse people who have had brain injuries and are not capable of doing such things. Why not ask the hospital what they think as I have done(they think it's disgusting), someone medical has taken the Hippocratic oath so should have the patients well being at the forefront of their thoughts. So they can't be proper medical people. I am toning down my wording otherwise it will just be one profanity after another, I have gone backwards in the last 3weeks, instead of recovering I am now worse all because of these idiots. I hold them in utter contempt. Try too complain lol not a chance just more of press 1 for # press 2 for *, can't handle anymore of it, it's making me I'll, extremely ill.

Hello my lovely,

I know it’s a long shot but do you have a medical professional that could say you are too unwell to attend any meetings they want you to attend, I didn’t even attend my PIP interview and was accepted. I know you have had real problems with pip but if you are awarded this you no longer have to argue you are not fit to work. I only know this through experience. If you say and do all the things I advised in my emails to you I can’t see any reason why they would refuse you. Try to take someone with you that you trust. The DWP just see you as more believable with someone to back you up. Good luck my friend.

Am taking my mother who has polysystic kidney disease as do I ( it's the brain heamorrage that has done the damage). Done everything suggested, I requested a home visit, they say it's been refused( unbelievable) by whom I do not know. Had issues with them canceled one hour before my assessment. Had to phone them every day for the last week, it's left me drained and spending most of my time lying on my bed, I feel I've gone backwards with the stress that they have caused me. I'm worse than I was before applying for PIP it's caused me that much stress.

I'm under a sick note, on the sick note it says subarachnoid heamorrage. How can they say I'm fit to attend? I'm fed up with it all and wish I'd not bothered with it, as its destroyed the improvements I had made.

I’m not over exaggerating things but ask your mum to talk only about how bad your brain injury has made your life. No matter how silly you feel ask her to say she has to help you wash your body, your hair, if she doesn’t remind you you don’t do it. You must be reminded to eat and meals must be made for you. You require help to dress yourself, you can’t do buttons. Plus you can’t go out alone, your walking is painful because of anxiety and stress since your injury, and you forget where you are going and how to get home. I’m really not trying to make you feel silly. I have supported people during these interviews and said what I have just told you to ask your mum to say. The people I have supported have never been refused. That’s not my bigging myself up, I just want you to get what you deserve. Make sure when you see any medical professionals, even your GP, always exaggerate your symptoms and then it’s documented on your medical records. I wish you a whole load of luck my friend.

I promise I won’t keep bothering you but remember pip is paid to help you pay for all the extra help you need because of the disabilities you have been left with. That’s why I’ve listed loads to tell them you are unable to do without help. My sister wrote a supportive letter for me telling them all the things my Bipolar affected and my psychiatrist backed it up. I never had to waste any time talking to that scum for myself. Honestly have a look at Roper, Logan and Tierneys 12 activities of living. It lists all the basic things we have to do in life to just function as humans every day. Please consider everything I’ve told you, I really would like you to get this.
