People are assessed by Nurses and Paramedics but they don't make the decision 🤯🤷 the decision makers with no medical training will disregard the bad days and only look at the good ones.
This is disgusting that you’ve even had to have an assessment a letter from your doc should be way enough… I do feel for you….this is why I’ve never claimed I couldn’t cope with the assessment and then the fights after that to get to a tribunal it’s just not worth it …I’d be in a total flare up through the whole process. Hats off to people brave enough
Rishi said everyone will not need PIP or any form of sick benefits soon yes very out of touch government, they judged you on mental health not Parkinson's
Didn't even judge him on mental health. You can have a serious anxiety disorder or PTSD and still communicate. Mental health is complicated. The "health assessments" are not health assessments at all, and they're not meant to be. They're simply beaurocratic methods to cut spending. You don't get anyone remotely on your side until the tribunal when a panel actually looks at your situation and evidence and the dwp hope you'll give up before then because of the humiliation and stress
Fact?? You do not have to talk about mental health, especially to uncertified unqualified assembly of PIP/Capita assessment staff, I was visited by the Police, for swearing in the background with tourettes? Take a mood stabilizer.. Capita assessment staff?? Tell them nothing apart from "You aren't qualified to talk about mental health" diagnosis psychiatrists name that's it end of . Police at my door. I'm swearing in the background trying to find something or "I'm not swearing at or abusing you, I'm swearing in your presence" A diagnosis got me 10+ yr ago switch from DLA to PIP , I was given 12+ points (Contradiction of information) but didn't have enough points??

Almost 2 yr in and out of medium mental health to get my benefit entitlement and other lung issues looking at with early stages of emphysema, bullous cancer blister removed keyhole surgery..
I won a court tribunal 6 yrs ago.The anxiety of it made me really ill.I lost 2 + stone.The judge told me I would never have to go through it again & marked my papers saying this.I have now had it all taken away.I can't fight this alone.
@@TheHestya Thank you.I will need help but yes I will go to court again if I need to.The letter was awful.Said they would be coming to take my car & I have to repay my last payment.
@noeloreilly9440 this. PIP is assessed on how much supervision the client needs. Each question has to be answered in terms of not just can you do the task but can it be done SAFELY, CONSISTENTLY and in a reasonable amount of TIME. Also, how does it make you feel afterwards. For example if it was a question on walking and the client had osteoarthritis, would walking 50m make them have to lie down afterward? It's the impact of the tasks. Assessors are looking for the description of a client's daily living to be consistent with the doctor's reports. Yes, most first time applicants fail, but around 7/10 appeals succeed.
Appeal. I did and got it in the end, my husband and I were owed 12,000 in back payments from 4 years ago! We didn't know that we were entitled to extra...☺️👍
@youngonsetparkinsons best of luck please keep me updated,its a know fact when the immigrants come over they get told if you get refused benefits re apply and re apply and you will get what your after,as a english man we don't get advice on what to claim and how to claim it shocking
Thats actually disgusting. Cant believe it, this needs to go viral so if you see this comment watching the video. Please like and comment on it for him that helps the algorithm alot. Good luck man hope it all works out for u keep us posted!!!!!
Yep, same here in US. I was declined despite 14 years of Parkinson’s and inconsistent employment past several years. I didn’t ask for it until absolutely needed it and worked my ass off to avoid taxing the system. Then when I could hold out no more, they looked in every corner to find a reason to decline me. I was as straightforward as I could be with them. No intent to deceive. It’s pathetic and pisses me off. Yes, you have to understand Parkinson’s a little bit. No, there’s no excuse for not getting it by now. I’m so ashamed of how we treat people with disabilities in this country.
No different in the States Mate. An assessor is only trained to evaluate the obvious. Ask for management. In my case I handed my case over to a professional who charged a fee but got my case approved. Do not give up!
I’ve got MS and Autism Spectrum Disorder and life is quite hard…. They gave me two points, I scored 27 last time ( 4years ago) just for having the ASD, now I’ve been diagnosed with MS as well I’ve lost 25 points, the whole system is a joke… good Video mate, take care and fight on. !!!! 💪
@@paulmurphy2144 if this goes to tribunal, they will be the joke, not me.. I’ve got long list of problems.. bring it on !!🤷♂️ill name and shame them til the end, I’ve got nothing to lose…. They’ve already stopped my Benefits..
@@paulmurphy2144 i agree with that..these scam everyone..doctors etc. I know people who brag about scamming them with mental illness and bad backs. I would never grass on them..if a doctor cant decide they scam..too bad..but i tell them i know genuinely ill people and they are an insult to them x
Anyone can go to their GP and tell them they are experiencing symptoms that they aren't or exaggerate symptoms, I know someone that gets highest rate PIP and her partner gets carers allowance and she's more able than I am working 24 hours a week in care and looking after my home and family. I honestly don't understand how they work it out
@@Twinklysparkles215 my saying exactly. I know someone who plays on mental health..high rate everything..rent paid and she has got 80k in someone elses account..really mental..i would not grass her up but im sure she would get round it. Im severely disabled..last seven years ages 62..my pip and premium on esa is paid to council for my social duty carers. Those claiming pip should be made to given the name and ni number to be taxed on it. X
My wife is a support worker and has been to hundreds of PIP assessments and hundreds more tribunals. The lies these people tell is incredible, on one occasion the assessor said that the could "read at normal font". A miracle considering that she is blind! Another claimed that the person could walk 50 yards unaided, again, impressive because that man has been paralysed from the waist down following botched surgery for more than 20 years. The bottom line is that almost without exception the assessors decision will be overturned at tribunal so please, if you don't agree with their decision, fight them.
I got lucky in the states with my case, found a lawyer that had been a disability case judge, he had got tired of the abuse of law and became a disability lawyer. I had tried 4 times to get my claim thru, got my lawyer and 4 months later I was approved. It's definitely a soul sucking experience, the way they make you feel guilty because you are broken is disgusting. Good luck and keep pushing, take it to a higher court.
The pip ask you questions deliberately try and catch you out,you. Get asked what are you like on a bad day ? and what are you like on a good day ? They take the answer of what are you like on a good day because your not always bad,it's sad when you have to beg for benefits now the tory government want to know what you spend your money on and go directly to your bank this is only to reduce your money it's a sad world,we voted the tories in so we need to vote them out
Amazing that an assessor knows more than a hospital consultant and your GP. Perhaps they should be stepping in when the doctors are on strike, oh no they can't because they are not medically trained at all. Hope you get sorted and your health improves!

Was declined recently. The assessor made me feel like I was being harshly cross-examined and was intent on poking holes in the multitude of information I provided due to a car crash 20 years ago and how it is now affecting me physically. Terrible system.
Guys never take a pip assessment unless you get there full name and medical training also fully record the pip assessment and put them on notice there are been recorded and and any lies they tell during the recording will be delt with.
Most will put the phone down if you warn them at the beginning of the call, they hate to be blind-sided!! If you record without consent, you have proof that no-one *officially* will listen to & they will target you as a ‘trouble maker’!! If you notify the DWP in advance by phone or letter, they have to find someone willing to be recorded! Depending on your circumstances, you can say that you have poor memory recall of phone conversations! I did this & have never had to fight for PIP again but it was 6 years ago, rules have changed again but i think they still ‘allow’ if warned!
@@daz2116 Sorry to say they do it all the time 🥺. They have no Legal Obligation (see link at end) > They have said things like “Technical Fault” (meaning they ‘accidentally’ cut you off🤨) If in person & not warned, people have been told they will end the interview but a few will allow, And if you use your a mobile device to record, they will not give points for anything to do with your hands, even if you clearly show you have difficulties😠 As i’ve said previously, if it’s a phone assessment, you can record it but if you have not declared you are doing so, and you need to use said recording against them, it’s mostly useless as a tool, unless you can afford Legal help, which most cannot. A lot of these people LIE for a living, it is their terms of employment (unspoken of course) to fail up-to 65% of applicants🥺In other words they will mess you about causing massive stress to applicants & in order to save their own sanity a lot of people will go ahead without recording. > This is from .gov website… Claimants can ask to have their face-to-face assessment audio recorded and all requests will be accommodated where possible. However, claimants do not have a legal right to a recorded assessment and it should be noted that neither DWP nor CHDA has a legal obligation to provide an audio recording service or equipment. Work Capability Assessment audio recording policy 🧐
That happend to me i have dyslexia and learning difficulites stammering she said i was good at communicating with her i was disaloud so i put in mandoery reconsdieration she lied in her report i feel for ya they dont want people claiming
I have peripheral neuropathy. I cannot walk unaided. I am housebound. Though I can speak on the phone whilst sitting like I have nothing wrong with me. People I speak to have no idea that if I stand up without help, I will fall down. Break my limbs and end up in a plaster cast or even worse I have to take neurological pain killing medication daily. My condition is worst at night and worsens through stress. Heaven only knows what I would be faced with in your situation. Take care, and appeal.
I was marked down on my daily living element because they said as I had to rely on a mobility scooter for moving around this showed I had dexterity in my hands and therefore I was able to do other things such as cook a full three course meal from scratch!
I feel your pain mate they did the thing to me not long ago, I have epilepsy and because I was fine the 5 minutes I was in there they took me off the sick and put me on job seekers. They have no shame or morals what so ever
And they want to take the fitness to work statements away from GPs and give them to non medically trained people with a script to follow and checkboxes to fill in. What could possibly go wrong.
This company gives donations to the government and they get more money the more times they turn done PIP and other assessments - remember people have died due to illness and had letters after the assessment saying they are fit for work
@@mooncat.787 It is Capita but for the last 10 years or so if you want a government contract you donate to the party or your local conservative MP - one reason why the UK has been a big faller in the transparency and corruption index - the big example if the privatisation of the NHS
@@mooncat.787 I did write you a reply to your question and for some reason it is not showing up - I am not sure if it triggered to be sent for review or the spam folder
My brother got PIP went assement centre and asked a lot of questions. There is 2 Pips it depends on your scoring the high more money the lower the score less money. And if someone says they care for you but you tell them you can do some of it yourself that person wont get carers allowance either.
Please don't come for me here. I also have a chronic illness and rely on PIP. I know how difficult and degrading the process is. I also know how wildly inaccurate many of the reports of assessors are, even when the claimant has correctly communicated how they fit the descriptors. However, your video here demonstrates a complete lack of understanding about PIP. This is not to say that you aren't entitled to it. I have no idea of your daily life so I couldn't comment. However, needing medication to function, having a certain diagnosis (outside of a terminal one) or needing to reduce work hours has NO impact on a PIP claim. PIP has nothing to do with work. I have mentioned this on a reddit thread and got downvoted. If people don't want to hear the truth, then that's up to them. Their PIP claim will not be successful. If you want to be successful, spend some time understanding how PIP actually works and scores. No one gets points on communicating if they can utter a basic sentence. This descriptor is used for severe autism/mute etc. Whether you agree with this or not is irrelevant (sadly), because this is how it works. If you understand PIP and have a genuine case then your chances of being awarded it EVENTUALLY are high. Around 15% of cases are overturned at the MR stage and around 70% at a tribunal. If you believe you have a case, fight for it, but learn how to WORD your PIP form and correctly communicate your struggles in regards to the descriptors. I cannot stress this enough. Also, read the government PIP handbook/guidelines, it can help you understand. Rightsnet have a series of PDFs on each descriptor. Just google each one. Here is a link to the first one on preparing food that may help. www.rightsnet.org.uk/pdfs/pip_guidance_nov_2017_1.pdf Good luck!
@@bz7924 As per the DWP's own guidelines for a simple meal, it is not. What the assessor has decided, for whatever reason, may be another story. A 'light meal' is not what the preparing food descriptor is for. A simple meal is a heated meal, once a day, prepared from fresh ingredients. The ability to deal with a cooker, heavy pans, peel and chop etc should all be assessed for this descriptor. Again, what an assessor has decided fits, and why, may be different. If they thought you ate this way through choice, and were capable of preparing a simple meal, then that's the angle of dispute. What did the report say? Did you request one? However, this decision would very likely be overturned with a judge if the sandwich wasn't a choice, as it is not a simple meal.
Totally sympathetic to your cause mr ! I paid professional ppl to sort my claim after it being denied by a idiot , my condition killed me 5 times in april 22 was in a coma 38 days am now pacemaker/defib do you think il be passed fit for work.?
That’s unbelievable!! I’m so sorry you haven’t been awarded PIP. I have recently been awarded PIP, but I was crying through most of the call, because my medical condition has worsened, since I lost my daughter😢. I hope you manage to appeal.
This is an appalling result, I’m soo sorry they are doing this to you. I admire your resilience & dignity - I would never have been able to give this review without cursing & showing anger. True warrior spirit on display here folks, much respect…❤
These assessors are not qualified to do work like this how do they know what they are doing. I hope you get this saughted my friend good luck and don't give up

Thanks Perry. They actually also said that the fact I can use a walking stick shows I have good grip… this is because I said sometimes I can’t use my hands… which is also true. You can’t win..
I am disgusted that you have been treated so badly. Your diagnosis and proof of medication should have sufficed. In 2002 when I was bed-ridden with an auto-immune condition I was treated similarly. My fiancé wrote to Maria Eagle who was health secretary at the time and she was great. It took almost 2 years and a tribunal in my home to win the case though. A local MP and perhaps an advocate from Parkinson’s will help you appeal. Good luck. 🙏
They made life hell for me . I'll admit i dont know how i got through it .two years it took and i think i was only the judge that said yes ..horrible experience ..imagine that judge didn't recognise my case ..the system is so broken ..ps thank you so much to the judge . So dont give up ...
I saw a blind man at my pip assessment. Blind since birth. They wanted to see if he was still blind. I've had hell with them. You need to appeal my brother. I really feel for you and I could never understand why they make these disgusting choices. I lost my pip once because I answered to my own name in an empty waiting room!
This Prime Minister of Britain has to go get him out Just lovely man what is gotta go through You can see that man is suffering Get the Prime Minister out of Britain
They picked on my brother a few years ago , 10% vision and diabetic (on the needle) , they get a bonus for making the vulnerable go back to work , apparently it's a French company .
Had my pip stopped years ago not for parkinsons but for autism after I was told that "I need to learn how to look after myself" but here's the thing autism effects my ability to learn and requires 1 to 1 support with certain things so how am I meant to learn when a mental disability that I suffer with does prevent me from properly learning oh and I told them about my dyspraxia (hand and foot coordination issues) and they ignored that as well. Seriously PIP needs to be investigated big time.
Mandatory reconsideration letter then if they turn you down apply for tribunal. I bet you will get it if you do that . I’ve helped several people get there pip assessment overturned . Fight it all the way 😊
I'm speechless after watching your video. My father-in-law hide Parkinson's unfortunately he's just passed away from the complications of having Parkinson's. The only thing I can say is there's a certain level of disability which are scored by points.
My son has quite severe ADHD that causes him all sorts of problems and he relies on us as parents to keep his life on track. He was refused PIP and also failed his appeal. What a waste of time
The people doing the assesments, and the owners of these private companies, should be open to prosecution in criminal court, for the crimes they commit against the disabled and poor people, they ruin lives, also civil servants should not be able to hide behind their desks and be held responsible for their actions.
When I had my assessment I was crying because of pain and the decline of my mental health. The assessor told me if I couldn’t finish the assessment I may not receive any award so I struggled through and when the wrote to me they used the fact that I finished the assessment against me. I really pushed myself to finish and answer all the questions. Either way I lose x
I was refused because the receptionists said they had no evidence that I had hearing loss. I have been partially deaf since I was 14, over 30 years, I lost my DLA
The best way is to go in there in regal robes, waving a sceptre, and claim royal prerogative and allegiance from all your subjects, that gets their attention. Don't claim disability, claim to be superior in every way, that leaves them nowhere to go.
Never give eye contact and you want a home visit and you want it recording pal trust me there only 4 recording machine in the country they will send it back to dwp and you will get your award any problems with appeals go to dial they will take them to court there about 40 hours of paperwork the solicitor do all they ask is you pay 100 pound if you get an award it to help anyone else there good 87 percent they have over turned

If you have not already done so, then demand a Mandatory Reconsideration without delay. Get that, and then you can Appeal to the 1st Tier Tribunal (at no cost). Present the facts clearly to the Tribunal via the Appeal documents, and it's highly likely the Tribunal will find in your favour, possibly without needing to hear you in person if the facts are in your favour, and your Appeal shows this clearly.
I've got severe heart failure. The medication has caused borderline kidney failure. I've also gained 6 stone, due to water retention. I'm on a tablet to keep fluid off my lungs, but it's also a testosterone blocker. Walking is difficult, due to the weight gain. I can't bore you with more, but the DWP assessor lied a bit, then said I'm good to go.
My pip dates ran out but they are still paying me it I haven’t had any letters etc sling me to renewal it when do they ask for another assessment to see if I still get it or do I ring them?
Hi, this happened to my heavily disabled mother with her ESA, she scored a zero. After looking over the assessment it turns out the assessor not only completely disregarded EVERYTHING my mother said, but also made up a bunch of the answers which my mother was not even asked. She was literally writing the opposite of what my mother told her in some cases. Just another example of the sick oppression at the core of this country. My mother has multiple spinal issues, the inability to bend her legs and due to this she has essentially not left the house in over a year due to the pain it causes her..... according to those clowns at ESA she has no trouble traveling on her own and sitting in one position etc......... she literally has my dad as her carer who has to push her on the wheelchair and sitting in one position puts her in intense pain. All of this, while they have no issue giving money to people who enter and stay in the country illegally. Pathetic country run by a government of clows.
I filled out a pip claim on line but there was no scoring this timw as when i went to apply a few weeks ago..the answers rquired a number between 1 and 12 i think,so i decided to apply but this time was just questions about my daily life and no scoring !!
Capita PLC paid by taxpayer to sort storage "Save all record of diagnosis" for from GP surgery & hospital to patient vice versa. NHS records. Capita stock is a PIP form amongst shareholders, as every Dr online record, they get paid for saving/archiving online GP surgery or & hospital Specialists blah blah But persist to ask "Send us more medical information ?"
I think they assess you as soon as you drive into the venue (they pick certain venues for a reason)what are u wearing… I’d opt to always be driven and accompanied and go ham on the impact Parkinson’s is having with on you…. How does it impact self are- do you need support washing? How about household chores? How about at work? What impact does this have on you mentally- a diminished interest or avoidance of socialising.. impacting relationships? You just gotta show them u on ur worse days . U didn’t ask for this disease and it’s going to be an extra cost to manage it
I had mine rejected all the way to appeals court. I got a welfare rights advocate involved after the 2nd rejection and was specifically told without an advocate it is unlikely you will get it. I won at tribunal although the stress was so intense I could not stop crying all the way through and had my daughter to talk for me through most of it. It's shocking how they treat people. Keep going and you will get there but my advice is to seek a welfare rights person from a charity to help you with this as I did. Good luck.
Hi hun, sorry you have to go through this nonsense on top of dealing with your illness and i dont know much about PIP but ive recently had a family member diagnosed with parkinsons and ive seen so much positive feedback during my research about medical marajuana being the miracle treatment for managing the symptoms its not ideal but maybe its worth looking into.. CBD is widely available and probably safer than a lot of the medications when used long term.. wish you all the best for the future 🙏
I had a similar problem when I was applying for esa yrs ago, everytime I got 0 points, I appealed it twice before taking it to tribunal which within 5mins I was awarded it, they don't take in to account people's mental health, yeh I might be able to walk and talk like others but my brain don't function like everyone else, I am scared of being shouted at, always told what to do, never put myself first, isolated myself, it's not easy but cuz I look able then I must be able, some disabilities are not seen
Appeal ! It is truly disgraceful that these people are instructed to put the sick through further Trauma in order to obtain the Assistance that they are fully Entitled to.
There are cynical targets when the PIP is being awarded. The assessor is paid bonuses to fail the claimant even though they may be eligible. But, why share your private letters from the PIP and DWP on here?
They're full of shit . When you argue your case ,they then say well our assessors aren't medical professionals!! Then why are they assessing folk ? It's total bollox and geared up to give you nothing ,no matter the cost to your well being
I had a similar call I had two mini strokes so my face is stil, paralysed, I still, gave to put my finger in my mouth to talk telepnonid said I was clear to understand I was dribbling slurring , also iv spinal issues degenerative spine cant walk far and in top of this i suffer badly with depression , bower I failed on everything else just scraped thru with my depression so get the lowest payment now before was on mid , list my mobility car. Is I can't go iyt struggle walking , what's the world come to :(
They scored me 2 after higher higher rates last time, I appeal twice, then they called me, they award me lower lower or I can attend court, they haven't sent me anything about it in the post, I don't know the scores
I’ve just filled an assessment for my son who lost his sight due to his diabetes! And is now having a partial foot amputation!! Someone please tell me this is wrong!!!!
The thing with PIPs isn’t what your diagnosis is, to them that doesn’t matter, it’s how it effects your day to day living, if you are missing your meds and that makes your condition worse that’s down to you (their thinking not mine) so you have to say that you forget to take them so you need help with taking them, it’s all about the wording
@@youngonsetparkinsons k good luck it’s a nightmare, it took me 10 years to finally get it and then I had to go to my local MP to complete the form for me as there are too many trick questions. The forms are not to help us but to help them not give it to us, all the best 👍
Oh this is so disappointing..i know i don't stand a chance then as i was too honest there are better afternoons and days i may not be as tired ...so i know i stand no chance .
Only doctors should be making any decisions about whether or not someone is eligible, not unqualified, box-ticking pen pushers. It's evil.
Totally agree and if not Drs then consultants, because most people with server illness have a consultant, it’s a nightmare

@noeloreilly9440 this. PIP is assessed on how much supervision the client needs.
Each question has to be answered in terms of not just can you do the task but can it be done SAFELY, CONSISTENTLY and in a reasonable amount of TIME. Also, how does it make you feel afterwards. For example if it was a question on walking and the client had osteoarthritis, would walking 50m make them have to lie down afterward? It's the impact of the tasks. Assessors are looking for the description of a client's daily living to be consistent with the doctor's reports.
Yes, most first time applicants fail, but around 7/10 appeals succeed.
Totally sick and shocking
They don't listen they just want to trip you up..take em to tribunal .

@youngonsetparkinsons best of luck please keep me updated,its a know fact when the immigrants come over they get told if you get refused benefits re apply and re apply and you will get what your after,as a english man we don't get advice on what to claim and how to claim it shocking
Thats actually disgusting. Cant believe it, this needs to go viral so if you see this comment watching the video. Please like and comment on it for him that helps the algorithm alot. Good luck man hope it all works out for u keep us posted!!!!!
Yep, same here in US. I was declined despite 14 years of Parkinson’s and inconsistent employment past several years. I didn’t ask for it until absolutely needed it and worked my ass off to avoid taxing the system. Then when I could hold out no more, they looked in every corner to find a reason to decline me. I was as straightforward as I could be with them. No intent to deceive. It’s pathetic and pisses me off. Yes, you have to understand Parkinson’s a little bit. No, there’s no excuse for not getting it by now. I’m so ashamed of how we treat people with disabilities in this country.
That’s awful mate
In Australia too. Evil bastards
The government aren't your friend. I'm surprised they give us anything at all.
Crazy
No different in the States Mate. An assessor is only trained to evaluate the obvious. Ask for management. In my case I handed my case over to a professional who charged a fee but got my case approved. Do not give up!
I’ve got MS and Autism Spectrum Disorder and life is quite hard…. They gave me two points, I scored 27 last time ( 4years ago) just for having the ASD, now I’ve been diagnosed with MS as well I’ve lost 25 points, the whole system is a joke… good Video mate, take care and fight on. !!!! 💪
Ben if your a good communicator they'll see you fit for work
@@paulmurphy2144 if this goes to tribunal, they will be the joke, not me.. I’ve got long list of problems.. bring it on !!🤷♂️ill name and shame them til the end, I’ve got nothing to lose…. They’ve already stopped my Benefits..
And there are people who get it with nothing wrong with them..only good at lying and genuine people get nothing x
i dont agree as you need medical evidence. real evidence
@@paulmurphy2144 i agree with that..these scam everyone..doctors etc. I know people who brag about scamming them with mental illness and bad backs. I would never grass on them..if a doctor cant decide they scam..too bad..but i tell them i know genuinely ill people and they are an insult to them x
@@paulmurphy2144 i know people who brag that they are scamming
Anyone can go to their GP and tell them they are experiencing symptoms that they aren't or exaggerate symptoms, I know someone that gets highest rate PIP and her partner gets carers allowance and she's more able than I am working 24 hours a week in care and looking after my home and family. I honestly don't understand how they work it out
@@Twinklysparkles215 my saying exactly. I know someone who plays on mental health..high rate everything..rent paid and she has got 80k in someone elses account..really mental..i would not grass her up but im sure she would get round it. Im severely disabled..last seven years ages 62..my pip and premium on esa is paid to council for my social duty carers. Those claiming pip should be made to given the name and ni number to be taxed on it. X
My wife is a support worker and has been to hundreds of PIP assessments and hundreds more tribunals. The lies these people tell is incredible, on one occasion the assessor said that the could "read at normal font". A miracle considering that she is blind! Another claimed that the person could walk 50 yards unaided, again, impressive because that man has been paralysed from the waist down following botched surgery for more than 20 years. The bottom line is that almost without exception the assessors decision will be overturned at tribunal so please, if you don't agree with their decision, fight them.
I can’t believe someone with Parkinson Disease has been turned down, go to tribunal
I got lucky in the states with my case, found a lawyer that had been a disability case judge, he had got tired of the abuse of law and became a disability lawyer. I had tried 4 times to get my claim thru, got my lawyer and 4 months later I was approved. It's definitely a soul sucking experience, the way they make you feel guilty because you are broken is disgusting. Good luck and keep pushing, take it to a higher court.
The pip ask you questions deliberately try and catch you out,you. Get asked what are you like on a bad day ? and what are you like on a good day ? They take the answer of what are you like on a good day because your not always bad,it's sad when you have to beg for benefits now the tory government want to know what you spend your money on and go directly to your bank this is only to reduce your money it's a sad world,we voted the tories in so we need to vote them out
Labour will be no different. Worrying times indeed. 😢
Amazing that an assessor knows more than a hospital consultant and your GP. Perhaps they should be stepping in when the doctors are on strike, oh no they can't because they are not medically trained at all.
Hope you get sorted and your health improves!
Was declined recently. The assessor made me feel like I was being harshly cross-examined and was intent on poking holes in the multitude of information I provided due to a car crash 20 years ago and how it is now affecting me physically. Terrible system.
Guys never take a pip assessment unless you get there full name and medical training also fully record the pip assessment and put them on notice there are been recorded and and any lies they tell during the recording will be delt with.
Most will put the phone down if you warn them at the beginning of the call, they hate to be blind-sided!! If you record without consent, you have proof that no-one *officially* will listen to & they will target you as a ‘trouble maker’!! If you notify the DWP in advance by phone or letter, they have to find someone willing to be recorded! Depending on your circumstances, you can say that you have poor memory recall of phone conversations! I did this & have never had to fight for PIP again but it was 6 years ago, rules have changed again but i think they still ‘allow’ if warned!
DWP can’t stop you recording them it’s your right and they can’t deny you your right they are public servants and work for us
@@daz2116 Sorry to say they do it all the time 🥺. They have no Legal Obligation (see link at end)
> They have said things like “Technical Fault” (meaning they ‘accidentally’ cut you off🤨) If in person & not warned, people have been told they will end the interview but a few will allow, And if you use your a mobile device to record, they will not give points for anything to do with your hands, even if you clearly show you have difficulties😠 As i’ve said previously, if it’s a phone assessment, you can record it but if you have not declared you are doing so, and you need to use said recording against them, it’s mostly useless as a tool, unless you can afford Legal help, which most cannot.
A lot of these people LIE for a living, it is their terms of employment (unspoken of course) to fail up-to 65% of applicants🥺In other words they will mess you about causing massive stress to applicants & in order to save their own sanity a lot of people will go ahead without recording.
> This is from .gov website…
Claimants can ask to have their face-to-face assessment audio recorded and all requests will be accommodated where possible. However, claimants do not have a legal right to a recorded assessment and it should be noted that neither DWP nor CHDA has a legal obligation to provide an audio recording service or equipment.
Work Capability Assessment audio recording policy 🧐
I just received a letter declined me of pip it’s demoralising
Sorry to hear that. Genuinely. It’s soul destroying
Appeal the decision they very often over rule i
Appeal and you will probably get it. They turn most people down first of all
That's what they do. Keep going. ❤
im 2 years since my assessment, and im still fighting them! dont give up its what they want!
Very glad to have found this site you have explained lots of things I thought only I was going through I appreciate that
Thank you :)
That happend to me i have dyslexia and learning difficulites stammering she said i was good at communicating with her i was disaloud so i put in mandoery reconsdieration she lied in her report i feel for ya they dont want people claiming
I have peripheral neuropathy. I cannot walk unaided. I am housebound. Though I can speak on the phone whilst sitting like I have nothing wrong with me. People I speak to have no idea that if I stand up without help, I will fall down. Break my limbs and end up in a plaster cast or even worse
I have to take neurological pain killing medication daily. My condition is worst at night and worsens through stress. Heaven only knows what I would be faced with in your situation.
Take care, and appeal.
Keep fighting. I know someone who had to fight for 10 years to get disability here in Ontario Canada. Don't let the bastards get you down mate. ❤
I was marked down on my daily living element because they said as I had to rely on a mobility scooter for moving around this showed I had dexterity in my hands and therefore I was able to do other things such as cook a full three course meal from scratch!
I feel your pain mate they did the thing to me not long ago, I have epilepsy and because I was fine the 5 minutes I was in there they took me off the sick and put me on job seekers. They have no shame or morals what so ever
And they want to take the fitness to work statements away from GPs and give them to non medically trained people with a script to follow and checkboxes to fill in. What could possibly go wrong.
This company gives donations to the government and they get more money the more times they turn done PIP and other assessments - remember people have died due to illness and had letters after the assessment saying they are fit for work
What company donates to the government ?
@@mooncat.787 It is Capita but for the last 10 years or so if you want a government contract you donate to the party or your local conservative MP - one reason why the UK has been a big faller in the transparency and corruption index - the big example if the privatisation of the NHS
@@mooncat.787 I did write you a reply to your question and for some reason it is not showing up - I am not sure if it triggered to be sent for review or the spam folder
despicable but YES i've read the stories - truly heart breaking
My brother got PIP went assement centre and asked a lot of questions. There is 2 Pips it depends on your scoring the high more money the lower the score less money. And if someone says they care for you but you tell them you can do some of it yourself that person wont get carers allowance either.
Please don't come for me here. I also have a chronic illness and rely on PIP. I know how difficult and degrading the process is. I also know how wildly inaccurate many of the reports of assessors are, even when the claimant has correctly communicated how they fit the descriptors. However, your video here demonstrates a complete lack of understanding about PIP.
This is not to say that you aren't entitled to it. I have no idea of your daily life so I couldn't comment. However, needing medication to function, having a certain diagnosis (outside of a terminal one) or needing to reduce work hours has NO impact on a PIP claim. PIP has nothing to do with work. I have mentioned this on a reddit thread and got downvoted. If people don't want to hear the truth, then that's up to them. Their PIP claim will not be successful.
If you want to be successful, spend some time understanding how PIP actually works and scores. No one gets points on communicating if they can utter a basic sentence. This descriptor is used for severe autism/mute etc.
Whether you agree with this or not is irrelevant (sadly), because this is how it works. If you understand PIP and have a genuine case then your chances of being awarded it EVENTUALLY are high. Around 15% of cases are overturned at the MR stage and around 70% at a tribunal. If you believe you have a case, fight for it, but learn how to WORD your PIP form and correctly communicate your struggles in regards to the descriptors. I cannot stress this enough. Also, read the government PIP handbook/guidelines, it can help you understand.
Rightsnet have a series of PDFs on each descriptor. Just google each one. Here is a link to the first one on preparing food that may help.
www.rightsnet.org.uk/pdfs/pip_guidance_nov_2017_1.pdf
Good luck!
If you can put a slice of processed cheese between two pieces of dried bread it is classed as preparing a light meal ... zero points .....
@@bz7924 As per the DWP's own guidelines for a simple meal, it is not. What the assessor has decided, for whatever reason, may be another story. A 'light meal' is not what the preparing food descriptor is for.
A simple meal is a heated meal, once a day, prepared from fresh ingredients. The ability to deal with a cooker, heavy pans, peel and chop etc should all be assessed for this descriptor.
Again, what an assessor has decided fits, and why, may be different. If they thought you ate this way through choice, and were capable of preparing a simple meal, then that's the angle of dispute. What did the report say? Did you request one? However, this decision would very likely be overturned with a judge if the sandwich wasn't a choice, as it is not a simple meal.
Totally sympathetic to your cause mr ! I paid professional ppl to sort my claim after it being denied by a idiot , my condition killed me 5 times in april 22 was in a coma 38 days am now pacemaker/defib do you think il be passed fit for work.?
That’s unbelievable!! I’m so sorry you haven’t been awarded PIP. I have recently been awarded PIP, but I was crying through most of the call, because my medical condition has worsened, since I lost my daughter😢. I hope you manage to appeal.
This is an appalling result, I’m soo sorry they are doing this to you. I admire your resilience & dignity - I would never have been able to give this review without cursing & showing anger. True warrior spirit on display here folks, much respect…❤
These assessors are not qualified to do work like this how do they know what they are doing. I hope you get this saughted my friend good luck and don't give up
My daughter has physical fingers and toes missing. At 13 I have to do her buttons. And she can’t get dla. Because I should “still be helping her”
Thats actually disgusting. Cant believe it, this needs to go viral so if you see this comment watching the video. Please like and comment on it for him that helps the algorithm alot. Good luck man hope it all works out for u keep us posted!!!!!
Thanks Perry. They actually also said that the fact I can use a walking stick shows I have good grip… this is because I said sometimes I can’t use my hands… which is also true. You can’t win..
I am disgusted that you have been treated so badly. Your diagnosis and proof of medication should have sufficed. In 2002 when I was bed-ridden with an auto-immune condition I was treated similarly. My fiancé wrote to Maria Eagle who was health secretary at the time and she was great. It took almost 2 years and a tribunal in my home to win the case though. A local MP and perhaps an advocate from Parkinson’s will help you appeal. Good luck. 🙏
They made life hell for me .
I'll admit i dont know how i got through it .two years it took and i think i was only the judge that said yes ..horrible experience ..imagine that judge didn't recognise my case ..the system is so broken ..ps thank you so much to the judge .
So dont give up ...
I saw a blind man at my pip assessment. Blind since birth. They wanted to see if he was still blind.
I've had hell with them. You need to appeal my brother. I really feel for you and I could never understand why they make these disgusting choices. I lost my pip once because I answered to my own name in an empty waiting room!
This Prime Minister of Britain has to go get him out Just lovely man what is gotta go through You can see that man is suffering Get the Prime Minister out of Britain
They picked on my brother a few years ago , 10% vision and diabetic (on the needle) , they get a bonus for making the vulnerable go back to work , apparently it's a French company .
I had the same and it grinds you down . My letter was like yours word to word. ❤❤❤❤
I am very sorry to hear this. Please appeal, this is so wrong. Wishing you all the best xx
You have to appeal.My father who had a stroke,partially sighted and can hardly walk had it taken away.He attended at court and won.
Had my pip stopped years ago not for parkinsons but for autism after I was told that "I need to learn how to look after myself" but here's the thing autism effects my ability to learn and requires 1 to 1 support with certain things so how am I meant to learn when a mental disability that I suffer with does prevent me from properly learning oh and I told them about my dyspraxia (hand and foot coordination issues) and they ignored that as well.
Seriously PIP needs to be investigated big time.
Mandatory reconsideration letter then if they turn you down apply for tribunal.
I bet you will get it if you do that .
I’ve helped several people get there pip assessment overturned .
Fight it all the way 😊
Support and best wishes to you. Stay strong my friend.❤
I'm speechless after watching your video. My father-in-law hide Parkinson's unfortunately he's just passed away from the complications of having Parkinson's. The only thing I can say is there's a certain level of disability which are scored by points.
Don't really matter now as you've all heard about the changes forthcoming 😢
My son has quite severe ADHD that causes him all sorts of problems and he relies on us as parents to keep his life on track. He was refused PIP and also failed his appeal. What a waste of time
You got the same response I got for a different condition
Just get some help from citizens advice take them to tribunal I did and won 🏆
Totally agree,C.A.B are a very useful organisation.
The people doing the assesments, and the owners of these private companies, should be open to prosecution in criminal court, for the crimes they commit against the disabled and poor people, they ruin lives, also civil servants should not be able to hide behind their desks and be held responsible for their actions.
I don't know much about PIP but surely it should be accessed on an individual basis of capability rather than a generic points system, 🤔
When I had my assessment I was crying because of pain and the decline of my mental health. The assessor told me if I couldn’t finish the assessment I may not receive any award so I struggled through and when the wrote to me they used the fact that I finished the assessment against me. I really pushed myself to finish and answer all the questions. Either way I lose x
I was refused because the receptionists said they had no evidence that I had hearing loss. I have been partially deaf since I was 14, over 30 years, I lost my DLA
You had such a good rapport with ur accessor that she knocked you off pip, and they get a bonus
The best way is to go in there in regal robes, waving a sceptre, and claim royal prerogative and allegiance from all your subjects, that gets their attention. Don't claim disability, claim to be superior in every way, that leaves them nowhere to go.
Keep fighting mate 🙏👍👌
Thinking of you bro.
Never give eye contact and you want a home visit and you want it recording pal trust me there only 4 recording machine in the country they will send it back to dwp and you will get your award any problems with appeals go to dial they will take them to court there about 40 hours of paperwork the solicitor do all they ask is you pay 100 pound if you get an award it to help anyone else there good 87 percent they have over turned
Who are dial ?
@@user-fw5zd9nd1r dial a charity one I use is in civic centre castleford if you google dial it will come up they do all my forms not had a medical in 10 years
Disability rights charity, they are really helpful. Just remembered what it stands for... Disability information sorry cant remember the last two but I highly recommend them @user-fw5zd9nd1r
I once had an assessor write down “she looked well and doesn’t look tired” 🤦♀️ absolute jokers man.
Wishing you all the very best
If you have not already done so, then demand a Mandatory Reconsideration without delay. Get that, and then you can Appeal to the 1st Tier Tribunal (at no cost). Present the facts clearly to the Tribunal via the Appeal documents, and it's highly likely the Tribunal will find in your favour, possibly without needing to hear you in person if the facts are in your favour, and your Appeal shows this clearly.
I've got severe heart failure. The medication has caused borderline kidney failure. I've also gained 6 stone, due to water retention.
I'm on a tablet to keep fluid off my lungs, but it's also a testosterone blocker.
Walking is difficult, due to the weight gain.
I can't bore you with more, but the DWP assessor lied a bit, then said I'm good to go.
You have to appeal most of these are won on appeal . Saying no is there default position. Squeaky wheel gets the grease
My pip dates ran out but they are still paying me it I haven’t had any letters etc sling me to renewal it when do they ask for another assessment to see if I still get it or do I ring them?
2 years it took me
I have been refused 3 times with no points and I have sleep apnea and awaiting quadruple heart bypass how dose this system work ?
This is very sad how they treat people. My mom PIP assessment is being reviewed right now
Get on to your local mp and councillors This is the route I went down with someone I know. Also a letter from your doctor. This is a disgrace
Carl get your Appeal in mate 👍
This is Rishi Sunak’s war against the disabled British people
Hi, this happened to my heavily disabled mother with her ESA, she scored a zero.
After looking over the assessment it turns out the assessor not only completely disregarded EVERYTHING my mother said, but also made up a bunch of the answers which my mother was not even asked.
She was literally writing the opposite of what my mother told her in some cases.
Just another example of the sick oppression at the core of this country.
My mother has multiple spinal issues, the inability to bend her legs and due to this she has essentially not left the house in over a year due to the pain it causes her..... according to those clowns at ESA she has no trouble traveling on her own and sitting in one position etc......... she literally has my dad as her carer who has to push her on the wheelchair and sitting in one position puts her in intense pain.
All of this, while they have no issue giving money to people who enter and stay in the country illegally. Pathetic country run by a government of clows.
Just appeal and then go to court and in a years time enjoy your back money 👍
I filled out a pip claim on line but there was no scoring this timw as when i went to apply a few weeks ago..the answers rquired a number between 1 and 12 i think,so i decided to apply but this time was just questions about my daily life and no scoring !!
Capita PLC paid by taxpayer to sort storage "Save all record of diagnosis" for from GP surgery & hospital to patient vice versa.
NHS records.
Capita stock is a PIP form amongst shareholders, as every Dr online record, they get paid for saving/archiving online GP surgery or & hospital Specialists blah blah But persist to ask "Send us more medical information ?"
I think they assess you as soon as you drive into the venue (they pick certain venues for a reason)what are u wearing… I’d opt to always be driven and accompanied and go ham on the impact Parkinson’s is having with on you…. How does it impact self are- do you need support washing? How about household chores? How about at work? What impact does this have on you mentally- a diminished interest or avoidance of socialising.. impacting relationships?
You just gotta show them u on ur worse days . U didn’t ask for this disease and it’s going to be an extra cost to manage it
I think it is disgraceful how they can treat Citizens.
I lost points as they observed me open door to postman😔
We are merely a reference number to the PIP robots.
So sad so wrong my friend wishing you all the best 👍🏻
I had mine rejected all the way to appeals court. I got a welfare rights advocate involved after the 2nd rejection and was specifically told without an advocate it is unlikely you will get it. I won at tribunal although the stress was so intense I could not stop crying all the way through and had my daughter to talk for me through most of it. It's shocking how they treat people. Keep going and you will get there but my advice is to seek a welfare rights person from a charity to help you with this as I did. Good luck.
Absolutely shocking. I am so sorry you are being treated this way .
Hi hun, sorry you have to go through this nonsense on top of dealing with your illness and i dont know much about PIP but ive recently had a family member diagnosed with parkinsons and ive seen so much positive feedback during my research about medical marajuana being the miracle treatment for managing the symptoms its not ideal but maybe its worth looking into.. CBD is widely available and probably safer than a lot of the medications when used long term.. wish you all the best for the future 🙏
I had a similar problem when I was applying for esa yrs ago, everytime I got 0 points, I appealed it twice before taking it to tribunal which within 5mins I was awarded it, they don't take in to account people's mental health, yeh I might be able to walk and talk like others but my brain don't function like everyone else, I am scared of being shouted at, always told what to do, never put myself first, isolated myself, it's not easy but cuz I look able then I must be able, some disabilities are not seen
Appeal !
It is truly disgraceful that these people are instructed to put the sick through further Trauma in order to obtain the Assistance that they are fully Entitled to.
Absolutely shocking 😱
There are cynical targets when the PIP is being awarded. The assessor is paid bonuses to fail the claimant even though they may be eligible. But, why share your private letters from the PIP and DWP on here?
They're full of shit .
When you argue your case ,they then say well our assessors aren't medical professionals!! Then why are they assessing folk ?
It's total bollox and geared up to give you nothing ,no matter the cost to your well being
I had a similar call I had two mini strokes so my face is stil, paralysed, I still, gave to put my finger in my mouth to talk telepnonid said I was clear to understand I was dribbling slurring , also iv spinal issues degenerative spine cant walk far and in top of this i suffer badly with depression , bower I failed on everything else just scraped thru with my depression so get the lowest payment now before was on mid , list my mobility car. Is I can't go iyt struggle walking , what's the world come to :(
It’s humiliating 😢
It really is
They scored me 2 after higher higher rates last time, I appeal twice, then they called me, they award me lower lower or I can attend court, they haven't sent me anything about it in the post, I don't know the scores
I’ve just filled an assessment for my son who lost his sight due to his diabetes! And is now having a partial foot amputation!! Someone please tell me this is wrong!!!!
Also appeal it all the way the tribunal will award it pal as you deal with real people good luck pal 😊
The thing with PIPs isn’t what your diagnosis is, to them that doesn’t matter, it’s how it effects your day to day living, if you are missing your meds and that makes your condition worse that’s down to you (their thinking not mine) so you have to say that you forget to take them so you need help with taking them, it’s all about the wording
I told them that i needed reminders as i take so many and sometimes forget. The assessor kept pushing to talk about what im like “on” and not “off.”
@@youngonsetparkinsons k good luck it’s a nightmare, it took me 10 years to finally get it and then I had to go to my local MP to complete the form for me as there are too many trick questions. The forms are not to help us but to help them not give it to us, all the best 👍
Get on a dinghy at Calais and come on over to Dover, you'll be quids in.
They look at fact you've proven record of work. Plus you've to explain you on worst day not just the hour the assessment takes.
Oh this is so disappointing..i know i don't stand a chance then as i was too honest there are better afternoons and days i may not be as tired ...so i know i stand no chance .
