I am so sorry, this is totally unacceptable. Please check out online two excellent organisations that can help you, Fightback4Justice (Facebook) and Benefits and Work (online message board).

What a terrible experience. I think LupusKaren has given you good advice, but this link might have some useful tips as well. It's produced by the CAB and although it is specifically about complaining about Atos and the EWA assessment, on pages 4-7, it lists the things that typically go wrong in these assessments. It might be very handy to go through that list and see how many of them you had to endure as a starting point for a formal complaint. Hope things improve drastically from now on

I complained to the assessment company about a bad assessment I had and they agreed with me , said they would retrain the assessor and told the dwp to disregard the assessors report .
