YET ANOTHER ASSESSMENT

My god I’m sick of being treated like a piece of meat and a ni number. I have yet another pip assessment just a few months after my last one just because I have added to my medication. Will they ever just leave me alone to suffer in peace do they ever consider your feelings or needs. I bet I get exactly the same stupid irrelevant questions by someone who’s nor even medically qualified. I am already taking them to a tribunal as I disagreed with there last assessment and I wonder if this assessment will change there decision? Who knows. Anyway my appointment is at 9am tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to it as I’m not in the best shape at the moment and I never get my point of view across as my mind goes into lock down. Oh well to the lions den I go again wish me luck hugs to u all xx

UPDATE

IVE NOW HAD MY ASSESSMENT HOPEFULLY THIS ONE WILL ACTUALLY BE IN MY FAVOUR!!! HUGS TO EVERYONE WHO WISHED ME WELL XX

I think this is part of the problem of privatisation and farming services out to corperate entities.

Because they get paid not only by the refusal but by the interview there is great incentive to create more work for themselves and theirfore more money for the company,, tipical tory tactics with their friends that own the companies.

It's sad but true!

The thing that amazes me is: are they so unqualified to realy think a change of medication is going to cure such a complicated illness.

Good luck with the interview!

PS if that medication cures you please post the name,, I'm sure we would all want to try it!

Hi

Good luck for tomorrow. I was warned that they ask you a question and then further down they ask you the same question a different way round to see if you give the right answer!! And sure enough that is what happened but I was ready for them. ! Ha ha!!. Take care. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

Yes hun she did and all they did was put a hold on the assessment for a month bloody joke. They are heartless when it comes to these assessments unfortunately as I’m sure people on here know. Well today I was not in the best of health and looked like death warmed up so she rushed through it and did not ask half the questions they normally ask. I even refused the part when you have to lift your legs and arms etc I told her I do not want to be touched or messed about with today and she was actually ok about it hopefully it won’t go against me. Anyways love and hugs 🤗 xx

Hi, so far so good. Now time to relax and try not to concentrate on it too much. I've got similar situation with physio twisting things into her words and it's made such a mess of my claim . You just be positive and let's pray that it's all over and done for you.🙏 😽xx

Thank you so much for your support really appreciate it x and my last assessment I’m in the process of taking them to tribunal then all of a sudden I get another assessment?? Very suspicious 😒 I told them the assessor is a liar 🤥 and that the test is a farce. Well I think this went better this time and the lady seemed sympathetic and I refused the mobility test as I was not feeling very well infact I looked like a bag of 💩 lol anyway I hope you get yourself sorted too hun x hugs x

Hi, I think like me you have a great sense of humour,,and it's a good job we can laugh at these idiots. Who do they think they are anyway. I read that they have no medical training and that makes it very suspicious because they obviously don't understand medical terms. I'm going to mention as many medical terms and ask for their opinion so that I may be able to call their bluff and ask them, "" What the hell are you doing here if you don't even know why I'm here? " Nice easy opening question i think. I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can and leave them wondering what's happening instead of trying to break me down. What do they know about brain fog or how mine freezes and refuses to take in what they say and of course wait for the flare you know is going to hit you. Yes sweetheart you are strong, keep it up and be the winner 😽😻 xx

Awww thx so much you are right they have no medical training or know anything about our condition. We know exactly what it’s like the sleepless nights the memory loss the fatigue the pain all drags you down. I was in so much pain in my legs the other day I told my partner to cut them off stupid I know but it would have stopped the pain. Anyways you go for it with avengence 😂 tell them to put there body in a mangle and ask if it bloody hurts hehe. HUGS 🤗 XX
