- This video uncovers shocking evidence of unqualified DWP assessors, as revealed through an email sent by the DWP. Watch as we expose the truth and reveal the lack of training and expertise in those responsible for making crucial decisions about disability benefits.
Fella.... I have said multiple times in your comments section that these people are not medical professionals, they are not medically trained (or at least not by the DWP or the agency who hire them, Capita et-al.) When you deal with them, listen very carefully to how they introduce themselves, some will say "Medically trained / qualified"
Professionals do not like the lay persons asking them. Questions.
I do it by notice through recorded delivery. They lied to me on a dsar. I pointed it out they ran for the hills. So I just sit back and wait for the next breach. By which I will hit them hard. 🤣 DPA breaches, property right breaches and ultra vires among others.
A contract consists of 2 or more signatures. An implied contract is where you're being lied to.
It's common to use pre written wording within DWP. not due to being uneducated but they usually get put together by the Staff that use them. Why? Becausecof Targets / Bench stops have to be made and a certain amount of people per week that have to be dealt with. However Staff are discouraged to use this method as the piece doesn't fit the puzzle. Capita and JCP Staff alike are controlled big time by Top Civil servants applying Goverments requirements. For medical assessments there is an average of people goverment would expect to fail medical. It a money saving exercise to force people to try and get work. In some cases the system does work. For JCP work coaches They have to have out of a case load of 200 customers signing on. That work coach needs around 25% or more into work. But they are pressured to stop people's money for punitive reasons. If customer doesn't carry out the work search that they sign for and agree to do. If its two times after one another or happend regularly say once every month then Work Coach should stop / sanction their benefit. Work coaches are managers and used to have discretion about the decision making process. But from the top it was made more Black and white. Work coaches got to know their Customers. One could be lenient but still warn customer what could happen. Basically knowing persons circumstances. As an ex Work Coach I was fair but didn't like it if customers took the piss thinking I'm soft. My first meeting was I'd help them to get benefit providing they followed the rules. I was empathetic to some. But I told all customers when they stated Inwas best and friendly. I pointed out it could stay that way although not their friend and if they took piss it would lead to money being stopped and no more Mr Nice Guy. Inherited early as discretion was being removed and new UJ was being introduced with tougher sanctions.
A friend of mine was reviewed by a dentist..... who denied him. He has neurofibromatosis and corresponding neurological and other issues. A dentist, for Pete's sake.
@raylp4751 all sanctions are a crime. As we are not the customer. You would take this info and scoff. Nah don't do that. It's to the detriment of the truth.
The money they held back all these years must have gone somewhere. Next question is where? A good question for our mps.
They claw it back for themselves and distribute it back to shareholders etc of the companies assessing you eg Atos capita maximus etc
@@DynamicDuoUKa bit like sewage charges of water companies such as South West water. Money to investors, but not to the services 😡
Imagine going through all the effort, time and hassle of getting a mental health diagnosis… only for a “DWP approved” assessor to tell you you’re fit and healthy.
Many have experienced this unfortunately
@@DynamicDuoUKand then for added spice they can now monitor your bank account… the system is designed to be difficult so that there are millions in unclaimed eligible benefits.
@@JunctionWatcherUK omg really?! That’s surely a breach of confidentiality ! 😤
@@Andreaod73google it… government announced and passed new powers that mean DWP can now monitor any claimants account. This government is sick and twisted.
@@JunctionWatcherUK only if they suspect you of frauding the system..I think..
Funnily enough, a friend of mine has just got a job doing exactly this with zero experience and no relevant professional back ground. She received one weeks worth of training and even she was shocked to get the job! Says it all really!
Been tempted myself to apply for a laugh see how they would respond because I bet they don't even ask for certificates of approval for the "health care " I could say I know cpr training and still get the role 😄
@@DynamicDuoUK My friend has experience with Bar work, one year of nurse training, super market staff and sales. Scary really!
And let's not forget that the dwp are in court next week by the UN over the treatment of people with disabilities
Assessors need to be doctors nurses & pharmacists and a petition to government needs to demand this.
I 100% agree with you, someone here commented before and said it was wrong to demand this as the NHS is already stressed and we can't afford to pay them for this etc etc , if we sacked the DWP staff we could though ...
Sorry but not everyone is a dummy. Those 'practicing' to be qualified are obviously not, should be charged with fraud, this is NOT difficult to acknowledge!
That goes for all the places they've put the black glasses wearing actors including hospital's receptionist jobs GP.s private company money grabbers stealing on a massive scale and getting self gratification through seeing others struggle perched on high horses in jobs were they can park there arse
I had my money stopped and had to fight to get it back , they lied , absolutely infuriating.
Has anyone else noticed that there is never enough money to help those in need, but there seems to be always enough to build weapons and go to war? As well as ridiculous things like the Millennium Dome and HS2.....
100% because they feel the disabled or lower incomes don't or aren't entitled to it, but happy to waste it on projects or things we don't need nor want.
Yes, because all their mates dealing in arms trade / arms fairs get the lucrative deals to arm fighters in wars. Wars are organised for two reasons deeee pop u la shun and to invade countries that have sought after minerals...Why do you think Gaza is popular?
There's plenty of fiat currency, it's being used for fraud and our replacement unfortunately..
My experience of the DWP assessors was a terrible one at that, I was shot in the back of my kneecap during a robbery back in 2003 whilst working and it took the government 7years to come to the conclusion that I was physically disabled and was suffering from PTSD. While I was claiming disability payments and mobility allowance for the next 9 years or so an assessor for capita working for the DWP had concluded that after 20 minutes that I was fit to work and stopped all my payments and left me no option other than take it to a tribunal to which I was successful in getting every thing reinstated, these assessors are not qualified and are not fit for purpose and cause more stress to disabled people. Plus they lied in their statement to the DWP.
How crap they are??? You mean how unlawful, how illegal they are.
Same people as the ones who knock on your door about a TV licence. Bonus for every licence and bonus for the ones rejected.
They traumatised me then lied..
‘Training in functional assessment’ actually means they are trained in the questionnaire not in actual functional assessment.
They say you have failed so people have to appeal. This causes massive stress for disabled people. It is an evil system.
I am a veteran that suffers from ptsd. I received zero points from my assessor who is/was employed as a physiotherapist at a leisure centre. I appealed their decision which was found in my favour.
I'm so sorry this happened to you, but equally I am so pleased you've got what you deserved. Thank you for sharing your story with everybody x
Assessors are probably on commission for every request for help they turn down.
Today's the day the DWP are in court over breaches of human rights isn't it?
Monday 18th March, right?
I had an assessment on Friday just gone for ptsd/depression and anxiety. However it was by admission from the health care person an interrogation. The assessor stopped the interrogation as my mental health was quite bad on that day, suicidal thoughts, low mood and so on. They called me an ambulance from the mental health team, who phoned me. However, the assessor accused me of phoning them. She was passive/aggressive all the time, but quite aggressive when thought that I had made the call to the mental health team to cancel the ambulance and paramedic. It was not a good experience at all, and my basic human rights were definitely breached and violated. My assessment/interrogation was stopped, and I felt that I had been abused. Terrible , terrible way of handling my case
Can you get someone to accompany you, or a welfare rights officer? Make sure you record, covertly, any calls or meetings with them. Have a witness. These people are liars and targeted on getting the numbers down. They are truly sc*mbags.
This explains a lot of assessments (although it does not explain one assessor claiming that "he can easily drive to any work in his car" when I don't own a car and don't even have a driving license).
I had the very same thing, DWP mislead the job center by saying i could drive.
when i first applied for PIP my assessment was carried out by a sports therapist. I suffer from heart failure and kidney failure but i was assessed as having nothing wrong with me.
These assessments are based on Monty Python..
I had an assessment done by an Atos assessor and she told me she was a qualified pschiatric nurse and had done a course on physcology. I checked with the NMC and she lied about her qualification s. She also lied throughout her assessment. I won my case at appeal. I then made a complaint to the NMC and she had a lawyer who ran rings around me as I was unrepresented and lost my case. Someone lying about their qualifications would normally be stuck off so this nurse may well still be practicing. The damage done to my mental health is now permenant and I will never forgive her.
Thanks for doing this. How can I question my assessor's qualifications without being penalised. I have diagnosed autism and undiagnosed ADHD. Thanks again. Lin
This just confirmed what I was sure of already. When I had my first assessment for PIP in 2018 I had to explain what my disability was to the "assessor" as she had no clue what it is.
After I had a transplant after two years on dialysis. I tried to go back to work. My consultant said I was not ready to return to work. My GP said I was not fit to return to work. The Works nurse in the factory I worked at said because of the chemicals I used and the drugs I had to take to stay alive. I was not fit to return to work. The firm I worked for were great they pensioned me off early due to the circumstances. I tried to get some help for 6 months to tie me over till all my pensions kicked In. The nurse I had to go and see decided after about 30 minutes that I needed to get a job. Who would give a job to someone who only needs a job for six months? Who was unfit. I was just left to get on with it.
I had worked ever since I was 15 yrs of age all full time and that's how I bought my own house, paid off my mortgage, see my daughters through university. It wasn't till I was 60 yrs of age my osteoarthritis was all over and carpal tunnel nerve damage, The wealth of mri scans and ct scans and consultants reports all came back it was advanced and even in my lower back and having to attend pain management at hospital as its 24/7 and you do not even get peace at night. Well being a waspi I was denied my pension at 60 and an assessment by atos for pip didn't go well, despite my records ,a wealth of proof all ignored by the DWP and the NHS paramedic doing the assessment. So it was zero points for me, so no contest, a tribunal all 1 Yr later whilst in hospital for conditions they claimed I didn't have. Well the tribunal took my wealth of information all what the dwp ignored and found in my favour.
What do you expect under this corrupt lot ,we rich spoiled brats who laugh at you at their wine swigging parties,so no chance of help.
As if living with illnesses and disabilities isn't hard enough.
Exactly!
Liked and shared and took screenshots the media needs this information
Hi I have been going through the various comments left by all sorts of people with varying opinions.
I believe that these assessments carried out by the DWP for PIP or whatever other benefit are not at all necessary, in fact, I think that it clearly shows that the government has no confidence in the medical professionals, if people are assessed for benefit.
If a Doctor is capable of prescribing medication, or handing out a doctor's note then there should no need for any other proof of illness whatever it may be .
Even better if the the person has been to a specialist by referral by their GP . This is my opinion is all the proof that is required.
No one else besides the GP or specialist is therefore qualified to make an assumption of your capabilities or illness .
Perhaps the way I look at it maybe too simple.
This government enjoys making life difficult for everyone.
Of course they're not all qualified to deal with the holistic problems that surround people with physical problems. That pain also affects their thoughts and feelings of wellbeing, confidence and self esteem . Things that are totally disregarded within our disgraceful system. Rip to all those who starved in isolation from 2008 onwards and those who committed suicide. May you now be at peace.
Before any assessment, tell the assessor you are recording the assessment. Don't ask for permission to record , just tell them you are recording. And always ask for their credentials and qualifications in your particular ailment.
I been saying this for years. Unqualified.
I echo the same sentiments!
All should ask if assessments are mandatory they are not
So what the DWP are basically saying is that your mental health condition can be assessed by a chiropodist, so long as the 18yr old Civil Servant , with zero medical training , rubber stamps it. Makes sense to me. 😢 I look at Britain today and sometimes I'm just glad I'm not long for this world.
Basically what you're saying is correct. Yeah it just seems absolutely ridiculous. That's like me saying I'm off to get a job as an assessor for them and I've got basic training in a set area in which I'm not qualified to work in, absolutely baffles me.
It's like you say, your set up to fail from the start, if your still breathing you obviously have no problems in life, but if your not still breathing, you don't qualify to apply in the first place. I'll be interested to see the outcome of the court case, not that it will make any difference 😉

Where have all the Professionals gone? You Can Not be a Pharmacist in 14 Weeks! 😤
I have been refused for attendance allowance twice now! This benefit is not means tested and you can use the money for anything but because i don't need supervision during the day or night i have been refused. My conditions are Osteoarthritis,emphysema,COPD. One of the things they put on the refusal was and i quote,You told us you get breathlessness going up or down stairs,but you are managing, I consider with taking your time, using suitable aids and resting between steps before the onset of severe breathlessness you should still be able to manage. That is just one point the others are to do with my arthritis. I am 68 next month had to give up work last year due to an accident at work i was a self employed builder, i have worked all my life and not claimed a penny off the state, i get full state pension but me and my partner can't get any other benefits as she works fulltime. fulltime. All i wanted was a little bit extra to pay for taxis to get around as she can't drive and i can't walk that far with arthritis in my hip and my COPD. Well that is my moan for the day stuck at home so have a good day to everyone.
Thank you for the comment it is much appreciated, honestly dont say it's a moan to me it's not its your story and thats what matters! Thank you for sharing and your thought's take care and have a good week x
At my tribunal a few years back ,i used unqualified assessors as unfit to have knowledge on my complex symptoms of chronic conditions as part of my appeal . Which i was awarded after 3 years of emotional distress from failing dwp assessments .
Outrageous that DWP don’t employ professional specialists instead of approved, which is not acceptable and creates injustice to those who require a professional specialist report and input to be treated fairly
A crash course to fail the vulnerable.
Seems to me these 'assessors' are going over the heads of GPs. What happens if they force someone into work and that person's medical condition get's worse as a result of their actions?
oh, they don't give a f'ck about that
my mate has taken them to court so many times and won he as them on speed dial
I get pip and ESA I'm 63 with Rheumatoid arthritis,and my next visit is 2026 and I'm feeling anxious already.
Please don't dwell on the date. I know on a personal level just how harrowing the appointments can be. I've had cancer twice, I have osteoporosis, COPD and asthma so I'm on PIP. I will not allow my energy to be wasted on any up coming appointments with the "job worth" assessors telling me I am capable of work when they don't see my struggles on a daily basis.
Stay strong honey, you have the power over your life, no one else 💜💪💜
I found it difficult to understand my assessor, they did not speak fluent English, and she was an, EN, enrolled nurse, i dont believe she had any knowledge of mental health. I have a personality disorder, with behavioural issues, they said i did not have any problems around other people, they practically called me a liar ! i am waiting for my court appeal to sort this.
The designation en hasn’t been valid in the uk since about the late 80s early 90s can’t remember when as my partner had to do extra course work and sit an exam to become an srn so how the hell she’s an en I don’t know
Don't worry. If you have a diagnosis from your Dr's , you will win your appeal. DWP fails everyone first time round.
You should have demanded a full english speaker
@@Handmemoretramadol just looked through my appeal notes and she is a Registered nurse.
My reassessment consisted of a physical exam, an eye test, and a maths test. Nothing to do with my actual conditions I was claiming for. It was a pure joke!
That definitely does sound like a joke at the end of the day. A math test and an eye test probably has nothing to do with the condition you're being treated for. I don't know why these people go through so much effort to fail people. Oh wait. Yes I do £££££
@@DynamicDuoUK yep, definitely money. The DWP even denied the fact they paid extra bonuses for reaching targets on failures which was later proven true due to a freedom of information request.
If the assessment isn't done by a qualified person and you get your assessment done independently by a professional I think the DWP might, in some cases, be liable for a civil action. They'll likely lie in court in their endless pursuit of the misery of others.
Privately prosecute the fraudsters.
This has been known for years
Thank you for the reminder and to hear it in their words. We have always known that they are just an IT company and are using a form for the assessment.
I was claming ESA for very long time, when I won my Court on Pip I got a letter from DWP about my ESA that I can work lol I when to court and won again, DWP they only try to not pay you at all they dont care about your health
Carers allowance is utterly inhumane and degrading. If a woman cares for her husband 24/7, the pittance is deducted from the husbands benefits and awarded to the woman.
Also if your a male carer it is deducted from your wifes or your joint UC
This should be sent to the newspapers and mps
I feel MPs are part of the issue they are aware but don't want to risk losing their £80k plus a year salary , as for the media I think they do report on it but it's very rare 😔
Mel Stride is aware and chooses to ignore the matter, he is guilty of Misconduct in Public Office!
Has this DWP training material been assessed and approved by various industry recognised qualified specialised with vast experience in their said fields???
I got sent for assessment by DWP. the assessor wrote I self harm. I was raging she didn't once give eye contact with me or my friend. I don't and never have self harmed and because of that it's on my medical records permanently. Disgusting 🏴🥃
After going to an assessment with multiple letters from my doctor I had a decision over ruled by an assessor who hasn't got any qualifications. How can someone who has zero knowledge of medical practise over rule a fully trained and well credited doctor? I even asked the assessor what their qualifications were and she said she's not at liability to tell me.
My young physiotherapist WCA assessor hadn't heard of my congenital condition and asked me to spell it for him, then in his report, referred to me as a woman, even though I'm a sixty year old bearded 20 stone man! Go figure? (Which incidentally left the three tribunal judges also scratching their heads). 🤔😂
They look at the medical evidence to see if it meets the criteria. If not, clear off. No problem with that.
YES SHE IS LIABAL... its GMC rules that they must provide you with there GMC number upon request, if they do not, you can report them to the GMC... they have to provide you with the GMC number, they do not have a choice... and if they wont, then they are assessing you illegally, there not a doctor and there not registered.
Thank you for the update l agree 100% 👍
I personally know a DWP assessor who got his job through being long term unemployed, his experience as an assessor was zero and his 'training' consisted of mostly what I would describe as crib sheets ie pages of A4 with simple instructions on how to 'assess' ie if this condition is met, do this, if not do this etc etc
Very basic flow chart system, very yes or no!😮
Anything that fell outside this very limited info or 'training' was just no dealt with properly.
I was quite surprised at how lacking his training was compared to my very comprehensive training I had for working in the care sector, which was constantly on going and evolving, I went on some really interesting and educating courses.
Our son has epilepsy, and was sent for an assessment to a physio.
Madness how can someone with physio skills possibly understand epilepsy
It's like getting a car mechanic to perform brain surgery. What training could it possibly take to achieve a competencey in this field? No disrespect to car mechanics.
Very good point !
The DWP will never admit that they mandate failure. This message has become certain through evidence of countless victims who have had to go through unbelievable trauma just to receive the help and benefit they need. DWP assessors therefore do not need to be trained, except to apply the dogma they are instructed upon. It stands to reason with an entity like the DWP, that employing medically trained assessors would involve higher salaries, so lets look for a few whistle blowers, except they are more than likely to governed by non disclosure restrictions. The DWP cannot be described as 'welfare' but more like a cash distribution service, politically driven by mean quotas, so it is never going to be for the benefit of those who are in need, contrary to the mealy mouthed, and cynical lies of incumbent health ministers. Every political party in the Houses of Parliament, historically goad each other on being 'soft on benefits' resulting in more restrictions due to childish reactions to be even more severe, therefore there has to be a mechanism to delay or deny, or better still, nothing at all, as you are deemed 'DO NOT QUALIFY'!
I had an assessment recently for a condition of vertigo and migraine. I was assessed by, apparently, a physiotherapist. Different specialism. Go figure.
If you have head trauma, it is illegal for anyone to assess you who is not a head specialist... you can report this right now to the GMC. You can also ask the WCAC for the GMC number of the scumbag who assessed you and report them and maybe take them to court... its illegal, really actually illegal.
The Dept of Wealth and Poverty don't care mate, hiring these no marks to override a qualified GPs fitnote.. Gotta be illegal.

I worked in a call centre some years ago, then they got a contract from DWP it was just around November time we were (12 of us) put on the phones to answer queries from the general public, no training just a couple of pages to answer queries, so if we weren’t in anyway trained for DWP makes you wonder about the assessors. Just a thought.
This is so true.....good work...
I've got documents, scans, etc showing i have a degenerative conditions in my spine and yet the DWP say i'm fit to work.
They refused to accept amy more of my Doctor's notes saying i'm unfit to work.
My first assessor WAS a nurse who agreed that i had serious issues but she told me that whatever she wrote, the DWP would say i was fit, and that's exactly what happened.
Remember keep on fighting keep applyig for pip and if they continue to refuse go to MR and then Tribunral, remember the questions they try and trick you up more than enough occasions, people say the evidence helps and wins your case its total rubbish evidence doesnt as they dont even check it, if you ask if they have looked at the medical report in an assesment and ask their opinions on it they wont have one because they never read it as there not qualified to understand big words. honestly keep pushing and pushing, there is a lady on youtube who does a paid service i think to help you with PIP her channel is called @CharliesJourney shes lovely offers free and i think paid services, reccomend her highly.
They weed out the people who are too sympathetic to the claimant.
they love to gas light claiments in to demanding more because the TAX PAID goon bennefits from every unemployed person existing
because that gives them more excuses to demand higher taxes and keep the free market and inidvidual busisness market CLOSED to expantion
it's very disgusting because the NHS makes up a majority of employed londoners hence why Sadiq keeps winning elections
because knows he can extort money from the country using london
in almost 40 years old and I'm on just over £100 a week, denied pip got a score of 0. it's a joke
I am currently caught in a WCA - UC loop. Marked fit for work twice.
The first assessor shouted at me for 25 minutes, then softened for the last five.
Oh she was trained alright - a trained psychopath.
When the "Decision Maker" called he listened compassionately to my current issues before asking me whether I thought the assessor understood my issues overall. Nasty trick question.
Without knowing the outcome, it is impossible to know. Call them out on it.
My next fit note was rejected just before I submitted a request for a mandatory reconsideration, triggering another WCA and parking the MR.
I failed the second one too, received a diagnosis four days later, requested a NEW MR and instead the one with evidence four months old was processed.
Then threatened with sanctions after being forced to sign work commitments I didn't agree to, and having a fit note rejected. Helpline said there was nothing they could do.
I stuck to my guns and the change of condition was picked up by the "health agency" (or the gaslighting agency - same thing). My next WCA questionnaire was returned with a few sharp words in the description - my autoimmune is triggered by stress.
@@crichardson4789
It is a trick question, given the way the assessment was conducted. "do you think they understood your issue correctly?" when you don't know what outcome they've given works badly both ways.
I had just spent 15 minutes telling the guy how ill I was, and he gave every impression he was taking it all in. There had been a five week gap between the assessment and the outcome and I'd had test results back which gave evidence of something more serious. I assumed that would also be taken into account.
You are naive if you think they don't plan the assessments this way. Either that or you're working for them.
@@crichardson4789 I did express my doubt.
However, this wasn't a PIP assessment, it was WCA where despite not being able to leave the house for three weeks through a gut inflammation that was the equivalent of food poisoning, plus extended chronic fatigue and joint pain they determined me fit for full time work outside and in.
The second Decision Maker said "before we make our decision I just want to give you a call to explain that Universal Credit is a benefit designed to help you find work or prepare for work whether or not you are fit for work right now. You will be able to keep your fit note and you can push back to your work coach if what they suggest is too much for you".
One minute they say they need a diagnosis and a treatment plan, and the next they say the diagnosis isn't important but its how the condition affects me.
So I'm sorry, but you need to be on the receiving end of this to fully understand it.
I recorded my last assessment. I wish you could listen to it and let me know what job I should do. Pure gaslighting.
The DWP are not medically trained i doubt if they even have a basic first aid certificate they work for Capita who is an outsourcing company I would have trained to become a paramedic as i had a lot of experience including taking the deceased to the mortuary laying them on the slab and putting them back again my mother who was a matron for oap homes taught me a lot my father was a stretcher bearer during WW2 and a first aider i also had 2 relatives both charge nurses and a cousin working as a radiographer so they know diddly squat.Both my ESA And PIP were stopped after a brain op so i got my MP involved and my report was full of lies .I won my appeal but it should not have happened i also have mental health issues and i would have committed suicide due to these clowns and i also said the DWP is not fit for purpose.
Thank you for input helping thousands get up to date, who have been so unfairly turned down from benefit...
I was 'assessed' by a midwife for my mental/physical conditions a few years ago, and I'm male
. This has been obvious for some time.
When all the public services tell you there’s nothing they can do, there’s only one way to the power. Take it 😎

Thank you for taking the time to keep us updated Rich ❤
My pleasure!!
Thank you so much Richard.
Like most positions in government non qualified just winging it
Please Check on the Law. Mandatory Rights. Advocacy-- S67 (4), Care Act 2014. This can destroy DWP Cheating.
I have ptsd,they assessed me with a physiotherapist 😢
Same here I got my medical report and after all I had said she basically put it all down to depression way way off the reality of my problems I have.
My back will never get better costantly in pain with my back my fingers lock and cannot move them for a while and my knees NH S Occupationals have said to my employer that adjustments have to be met i only work because i live on my own and get no help even PIP turned me down i have to carry a card around with me because of how bad my back is how do they get away with this
In 2020 they were advertising for anyone who had first aid training and above for 35k per year plus bonus
I have had 2 telephone assessments and they didn't deem me unfit for work at the time, I complained about the fact they only did telephone assessments which is wrong. Thankfully I have worked on my own well being and I am doing a lot better for myself now.
But the whole system needs overhauling and have people put in positions that do care about disabled people and make sure they get the money they're entitled to. I have shared this video on FB and X for all to see.
You CAN ask for a visit or go to an assesment site but if you go to them you will automaticly loose points. Best option is to have them visit you, while unwell and be assesed by ambo and taken to hospital while they are there, if you then fail the assesment you will win it on appeal as "Assesment terminated due to critical condition caused by underling health condition" will go a long way at appeal
Yes they have general assessors however if you have specialist conditions you can demand someone in that field to do so, they try not too but if you state if you dont do so then it will be ignorant & biasest decision & as such you state if this occurs & not given the benefit then i will not only hold the organisation at fault but also the individual assessor.
I will not only go through the complaint process but also at county court on a civil claim for pain & suffering from both parties if not 3 inc thus the DWP itself.
As such i have then been given specialist reviews & i always demand they bring with them copies of their qualifications too.
That's good to know you can request an assessor especially qualified within a condition, how would you know however they are who or what they say they are? It's been known that the DWP state something but do the opposite so for a lot of people they may not believe them.
Thanks for the info though.
My assesor didnt listen to a word i said and got me so stressed we had to stop for a bit halfway through
It's a scam centre workers!
I was assement by one of those non registered medical team who put me in hospital which after years of falling over in pain led to a lower spinal transplant..... But the DWP medical team employ nurses and Dr's struck off for miss conduct they are not allowed to do a physical assessment only questions on their paperwork only they still never explained why they looked at my medical records and got them distroyed (totally illigal) I also know that if its says Dr its now in medicine the one I had was a Dr in computing they are fake
The DWP are currently taking council tax directly from benefit payments but also taking arrears some of which go back to the late 1980’s poll tax. They don’t know how much is owed and when the arrears will be finally paid off. If a test case was taken the claimant would win because a debt has to have the amount owed to pay back. Tens of thousands at least would receive a pay back for wrongfully paying an unknown debt.
Council tax arrears are none of the DWP's damn business & it's unlawful to take money from any income related benefit (Social Security Act 1992, Section 122), because it is the inailiable right of each human being to exist, even in a corrupt, tory system.
If you don't know your rights you have no rights, in the corporate captured West.
@@tiggtiggs a test case would end the repayments.
Hello been watching with interest my wife registered disabled the review's in the past have been very undignified & inhumane!!
I also applied for my condition Lupus & colonary heart disease plus unable to do manual work due to hernia, I have been rejected twice!!
Don't give up that's what they want you to do! Good luck 👍🏻
it is GMC rules that they must provide you with there GMC number upon request, they do not have a choice, failing to do so... you have a right to report them and the GMC will investigate. FOR REAL.
Under Law one is allowed an independant Advocate to comply with S67(4) Care Act 2014.
I had to go for an assessment she was about 19 and no way she was a doctor or healthcare assistant and the letter I got back to say I was to be signed off the system was full of lies I couldn’t believe what they wrote but how can you prove it, you can only use certain recording equipment that they advise and know way could the average person afford that and that in it self shows it’s a stitch up all they are paid for is to sign you off
You can use any specified audio recording equipment. Regardless as to what they say. It isn't required to spend an absolute fortune on any products. I've known people who have recorded using a simple iPhone or a Samsung mobile phone device and the use that against them and won. Please don't let them bully you into believing otherwise.
@@DynamicDuoUK oh they told me I could only use this certain equipment I know it was in the thousands because I looked into it and I had a letter they sent to me stating I could not use anything else other than what they recommended, this was about 10 years ago,
@@robertchapman1883 yes I know they've recently tried to tell people certain equipment only to be used but the rules change as the equipment they specify should be their policy for their own in house team, your a general member of the public and therefore don't have to adhere to those policies. It's incredible how they still try this though.
*DWP* = (Department of War on Pensions). 🤔😉
According to the DWP assessor I stick my own butrans patches on my own back.
Unless you're some kind of cirque du soliel contortionist that's not even physically possible. Did anyone car when pointed out that this not being possible proved the lie?
No of course not. 15 months later I won my tribunal in 3 minutes
well they are using words, but without their definition of those words it is impossible to understand what they are actually saying.
a "Healthcare Professional" can be a person who hands out medication in a nursing home with no medical training at all.
"Healthcare professionals (HCPs) are defined as 'members of the medical, dental, pharmacy and nursing professions and any other persons who in the course of their professional activities may administer, prescribe, purchase, recommend or supply a medicine."
it could even be someone who buys a medicine, or even a sales person of a medicine.
Yes its a vague definition notion. It sounds like they are qualified to do the assessment and that's it. They are not doctors. So they are not taken Ng into account the diagnosis and everything that entails. So th assessment is extremely biased or can be due to the assessor.
I was assessed in a Face to Face situation, while I have more than one underlying issue, the primary issue related to a comparatively rare heart condition, which predominantly affects women [so no research on it] and generally menapausal women, but not exclusively. So the guy asked me loads of questions, not one of which related to cardiac issues. At the end of the assessment he asked if I had any questions; obviously, I did. I asked him when he was going to do a Cardiac assessment. His response was that DWP no longer do assessments for Cardiac issues because Cardiac issues are caused by life style choices. So in effect, what the DWP are saying, on behalf of the government, is that it was my choice to be born female and it was my choice to live long enough to reach menapause. Well, if I'd known all that before the egg was fertilised I would definitely have made different choices 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats bloody stupid, so why the assesment to waste everyone's times including yours? they should just come out and say it.
@@DynamicDuoUK You are quite right, they should be upfront. However, I did challenge this directly with the appropriate Minister, or at least a member of staff, asking the question, why cardiac issues are classed as a life style choice, and yet, if I had chosen to go bungie jumping and broke my neck, that would not have been classified as a life style choice. the initiall response was that cardiac issues are not classed as life style choices and no disabilities are ignored relative to life style choices, or words to that effect, but then heard nothing more. Consequently, I wrote again, asking what was going to be done about this clearly erroneous decision. It took several months to receive a response, obviously they were all on a tea break. Overall, it took more than a year for this to be resolved, but that was only because I was constantly pushing the issue.............. A couple of other issues I experienced at different assessments seem to be in line with the life style concept. I was in fultime employment, strangely enough working for the government in the Home Office, a girl has to live. It was an appeal so a real Dr was present. I had literally just returned from holiday and the Dr mentioned that I had a tan, a very nice tan it was too. I responded that I needed a break and therefore had been on holiday, her response, you can stay at home and rest; I was working fultime, I think I was entitled to a holiday. Again, another appeal and yet another Dr, who, coincidentally lived not far from me, not that I knew him, but he was saying that from my house to the local shop was not a 30 minute walk there and a 30 minute walk back. My response, perhaps not for you but it is for me, would you believe a couple of weeks later I saw him in my local shop and politely said hello, he couldn't get out of that shop fast enough, however, during that appeal the, who ever it is who officiated, pulled this Dr up for bullying me. I would have expected better of both of the Dr's mentioned here
I need to do pip for cptsd and possible narcolepsy.
But even my dr is uneducated on narcolepsy.
Untreated ptsd and cptsd has been linked to sleep disorders.
Its why alot of people getting disability in the us are able to claim for both. Ptsd from active duty can cause narcolepsy or sleep apnea ect
I has 22 years of abuse starting from childhood, I've endured more than most veterans ever have.
No wonder I did not get my award
I'm so sorry to hear that 😔
My son who was diagnosed at 7 yrs of age for adhd, was accessed by asos, back in 2019.. I think don't quote me on that, he was assessed unfairly, I appealed, then they wanted to send us to magistrates court in Manchester, miles away..so couldn't attend, lost his case, since he left school at 16, he didn't want the label. It had been such a destroying time, since then he had no pip.. or meds, he's just gone further and further into depression.. just sent pip form off he's 21 now.. what chance do we have?
My son has Aspergers and he gets fair PIP, as ADHD is in the same bracket so should your son. dont give up, get advices or see www.youtube.com/@CharliesJourney
The DWP assessors do not need to be specialised.... the only thing they need to know is how to refuse applications. Hence the training given.
What can DWP teach a Professional (to use DWPs own words), about assessing peoples needs? Surely a "professional" would have learnt how to assess a patient/person in their traing as a professional?
Thanks
Thank you for supporting and sending the superchat greatly appreciated ❤❤
You removed the gentlemens info, but not the date of enquiry nor email dates... lets hope the DWP dont check their records.
I don't think the DWP have the intelligence to check their shoes are tied before a shift let alone records 😂
@@DynamicDuoUK , interesting video. I knew the DWP were scum but this takes the biscuit.
The multiple questions in mutiple ways repeating them would fail me everytime as im autistic, so if its overly complicated id not have a clue how to answerr, my problem is verbal and social communication, using ghe erong words to tell them im ok or not.
I would be told im ok because im easy to tell i can teust them.
I left scool at 11 because i could not learn at school i am self taught.
Sounds like i would have a bigger problem on benefit than not on it becayse id have to worry and panic every time i applied to renew.
