I am disabled as I have mentioned before but here in the UK If your disabled your a drain on the economy, your a scrounger and need to go away and hide somewhere.
The UK changed the day David Cameron took No 10, he wanted to make the disabled and vulnerable members of society pay for what the rich had done to the country.
I have been disabled for over 20 years, I'm not a scrounger or lazy I would love to have a job bringing in a good wage, being able to go on holiday buy nice things and treat my family like I could before my disability took over.
At the minute I am going through an assessment by the DWP Department for Works & Pensions. I had my assessment at the beginning of the month, They have just let me know that I am now fit for work. The lies the assessor has told are shocking, he has ignored everything that happened and filled the forms in without even looking at me, he spent the whole time facing the computer screen.
I am so frustrated and angry that they can mess about with us make us look like the bad guys when there causing so many problems.
I am housebound, I can only get out of the house if someone takes me, stays with me and brings me home, shopping is dashing through the aisles in the shops electric scooters. I am in constant pain, I have Osteoarthritis, diseased and torn cartlidge, nerve damage Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome, Asthma,IBS and to top it off depression I have no real friends as no one wants to know as I can get involved with what there doing, My life basically stinks.
I am busy writing back to them filling in all the assessors mistakes and assumptions.
Being disabled isn't a choice, Its not who I wanted to be. I had plans, a brilliant job with a future. I had a life where I was independent, I could come and go as I wanted didn't need anyones help. Being disabled has killed everything and now my own country are deciding to turn its back on us, even disabled car parking is a laugh as anyone parks in them, They're is no care left.

Hi Karen. Sorry to hear about your struggles. Its not much, but I hope you get a proper assessment along with help and assistance you require. Keep up the fight and you'll find someone who won't write you off.
Hi. Thank you I can live in hope :)
Recently I myself have just seemed to find about 90 % pure idiots. My own circumstances are not like yours, my issues are about trying to find quality tradespeople or noteworthy service industry people.
It is simply amazing the quality of incompetence I am seeing today , people no longer seem to have much respect for others nor respect in how they themselves perform their supposed functions.
If society is going to improve we need more laws. Yes I apologize but the only way to change things is to sue people, ringing or writing has no effect. Simply if a government worker brushes you off people should sue that individual as the problem.
When workers have issues of incompetent or disrespectful supervisors it would improve the system to sue their boss or supervisor individually instead of the company.
People sue the employer seeking the m money from a settlement , I myself ring up and ask telemarketers what sort of car they drive. When they inquire why I would ask ; I simply say I wish to see if their car is worth suing them over by asking the Judge to award me their car as settlement for damages . . .
This is the system your leaders have given society, so next time you go to vote simply say to your elected Representatives " You're Fired ! ! ! "... Only when we remove the vermin Professional Politicians can humanity seek to reclaim representative democracy.
Once the rich stop thinking there more important than the rest of us taking everything leaving us nothing, standing up for what we believe in. Time to change
Sorry to hear this Karen. The stress of going through the whole process is bad enough without this on top! I've seen it time and time again and it makes me so angry. They're more concerned with targets than humanising the person in front of them. I'm pretty sure the majority on disability benefits would rather be working, but most employers just don't have the facillities or patience.And It's not easy when you can't guarantee from one day to the next if you'll be ill or not. Those of us that can manage a bit get used in the voluntary sector. Wish you all the best in fighting it. xx
Thank you, My husband came wit me for support he had to take a full day of work to help me. He was disgusted how we were all treat, it was humiliating and degrading
It's stomach churning how appallingly the disabled have been treated by the tories, I dread to think what state the country will be in by the time we next get to cast our votes. Good luck I hope your appeal goes well.
I am reading the copy of the assessment is getting me really angry, He took my peak flow with the puffer for asthma it showed I had a low peak flow which he blamed on my technique and said it was unreliable, He never mentioned me having to use my inhalers after, That's just one part of it. a load of lies and assumptions. Its not fair
They are trained to reject as many people as possible, I wouldn't be surprised if they get bonuses for meeting targets.
There was a family a couple of months ago who recived their son's fit for work letter 3 months after he died.
Its so sad how they are treating people, think they used to be on a bonus were one man was very vocal about how much he earned, he was declaring them fit for work without seeing them
