WCA / PiP assessments
Just a tip for anyone, due a assessment, remember the assessor is only health professional so a nurse at best , yes apparently they can override your doctor, which is shocking, but I would put them on them back foot and remind them they are not a doctor, or a consultant and have absolutely no idea of your condition,…

I don't see any way out but suicide.
I'm a partially sighted stroke and cancer patient. Struggled through MRs and appeals, always win a short award and have to go through it again just a couple of years later. Rack up debts during the appeal. But I thought I'd be OK for a short time now. However now the government is almost certainly drastically cutting…

Dwp and Maximus pip
According to Dwp and Maximus, I have no problems and aren't disabled. They pull this everytime I have to have a reassessment and claim there is nothing wrong with me, now I'm going to have to go and have a tribunal and I'm not going to lie, I don't think I can handle all of this for the 4th time and given how many times…

Too Many forks in the road and I don't know which way to go
Hi Everyone This is my first post so please be gentle with me! There is some rambling and a lot of back story but I will get to the point I promise.
