Hi,
After being visited by the DWP I update the comments.
The guy came out and said both my X Partner and me could claim separately. He said I could claim ESA but they only recently stopped it because I failed to attend the interview. I was unwell and wrote to them but they refused to accept that they had received the letter. Instead of sanctioning me they stopped the claim entirely and left us to go 8 weeks in rent arrears.
The guy also said that he would change my PIP payments to be paid into my bank rather than my X Partners. He assured me that the payments would continue. They didn’t, they just stopped. When we rand them they again assured me that the payments were now going in within 3 to 5 days. They lied about that. It didn’t happen and when the chap from the DWP who came out telephoned them, they said they had only just released the payment. That was 5 days after they said it would take five days.
In short the DWP are notorious liars and I want people to know and understand that they are not people who can be trusted. I have responded to this by sending the DWP a small claims summons for 10k compensation. After all, people who are claiming Income Support are EXEMPT from court fee’s so there is nothing to lose. Especially with small claims as it is unlikely that in the event of a case being lost that costs are applied.
My advice for anyone else is to do the same. Take out small claims against them because they ignore the law and abuse people. The Equality Act 2010, amendment 2012 demands that service providers make reasonable adjustments to accommodate disability. Our sick and nasty government with its Nazi ideology ignores these laws and they think people are just so plain stupid they won’t ever be held to account. I am not well but that won’t stop them having to explain in open court why they abused me in the Jobcentre and why they are failing to comply with the law.
