HISTORY: "Isn't' Hindsight" is a wonderful thing" ?

Incredibly it was the Labour Party (Tony Blair + Gordon Brown) who started this most deliberate, 'Pre-planned', and cynical attack on the UK's disabled citizens: When the Tories where elected they could not believe their luck, up stepped Ian Duncan Smith saying "not a problem" we will insist on a 20% reduction on Disability Living Allowance DLA, either by "hook or crook": No excuses, a minimum reduction 20% is our intention: They then paid a French Company £13 million a year to manage this on behalf of our Department of War and Pensions (DWP): This organisation then carried out some of the most "cunning & underhand" tactics all in the name of our UK Government: In certain locations they installed undercover CCTV cameras to record UK claimants walking from the car park into main entrance door(s) of their chosen location:

Ah ! So let us now eradicate DLA for ever, and we will introduce a new state benefit called Personal Independent Plan (PIP): However, we must also make it so difficult for an claimant who gives "honest" answers to qualify for PIP Benefit:

So the new PIP application form was most "sneakily" laid out: It comes with all it's pages bound together, why ? So that if you decide to change your answer by 'scribbling' it out, they then know that you have changed your mind: >THE FORM COMES WITH A "STERN" WARNING, YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO RETURN IT: >YOU MUST ALSO ENCLOSE ALL LETTER FROM CONSULTANTS/DOCTORS ETC: >DWP KNOW 30 DAYS IN FAR TOO SHORT A TIME TO COLLECT SUPPORT LETTERS: >DO NOT FILL IN THE PIP FORM UNAIDED ! SEEK AID FROM CITIZENS ADVICE, OR YOUR COUNCILS WELFARE AND BENEFITS OFFICERS:

IMPORTANT INFO: NEW TACTIC PHONE YOU< AND TELL YOU YOU WILL HAVE A "FACE-TO-FACE" AT YOUR HOME IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS ?

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ACCEPT THIS "MOST-SPEEDY-TACTIC" INSIST ON MORE TIME TO GET READY A LOCAL OFFICE SUITABLE TO YOU: ARRIVE WITH A COMPANION DO NOT MAKE IT LOOK EASY< AND BRING YOU STICK/CRUTCH?WHEELCHAIR ETC, AND ACT "THE-DAFT-MAN": SORRY HONESTY GETS YOU NIL?NOUT:

>"NOTE-CAREFULLY" ! WHEN DWP DECISION LETTER ARRIVES, IF NOT SUCCESSFUL GET CAB, OR COUNCIL'S WELFARE & BENEFITS OFFICER TO TO REQUEST A MANDATORY REVIEW, ie DWP TO "LOOK AGAIN AT THEIR DECISION ? ": THIS LETTER MUST ASK THE DWP TO LOOK AT ALL OTHER ACTIVITIES: NOT JUST A SINGLE ONE:

NOTE: PAGE 4/7, DWP DECISIONS FOLLOWING "FACE TO FACE ASSESSMENT"

*PROBLEMS COOKING MEAL ? YES FINGERS POWER WEAK, BUT BOTH ARMS POWER WERE NORMAL ?

*YOU REPORTED THAT YOU DRIVE A MANUAL CAR, TO WORK AND BACK:

*DWP QUOTE ? THE ACTIVITY OF DRIVING A MANUAL CAR IS IN ITSELF A MULTITASKING ACTIVITY REQUIRING SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL FUNCTION IN TERMS OF GRIP, POWER AND UPPER AND LOWER JOINT MOVEMENTS: (Heaven help us all)? ?

* YOU WERE SEEN TO LIFT YOUR PURSE AND RETRIEVE YOUR DRIVING LICENCE FROM A SMALL COMPARTMENT ?:

Well all claiment's the Dwp and its appointed face--face re-assessment team are clearly using the book of "sneaky tricks" to disqualify you from getting PIP, and especially on your mobility issues, in which you will lose your Motability vehicle?

Having now experienced Atos, Capita, and Maximus first hand it is advisable to push for a paper based assessment (to side step a face-to-face entirely) on the grounds that you have presented more than adequate supporting evidence and your symptoms are consummate with a CMT diagnosis.
