Hi I'm new here, just need to release as very stressful day. Don't post online usually.
I have been going through the benefits assesments after claiming uc, since April, previosly 7 years in job.due to medically unfit for job.
The whole process was horrendous, I feel for people on here, as it was alien to me not having claimed in 27 years.
I have psoratic arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and am awaiting counselling for severe long term anxiety /depressionetc. I worked nights for years, hiding away tactics to avoid people. No longer physically able.
My point is, pip phone assessment 3weeks ago, taken meds prn prescribed via MHN. appointment 12, cancelled 12.11.
Last week new appointment, support person there, prn meds again. Over an hr, still felt rushed.
Jump forward 6 days after pip. Call have WCA, today between 1pm and 4pm. Previous things in place. Spent all day waiting. My daughter in law spent day with me, no call. 5.15 rang dwp, very distressed, nice lady gave a number. Rang it, a bored sounding chap asked questions, then checked, said didn't you get a call, Noooo.It says they don't need do a phone assessment.
Sorry to waffle, but what the .....…
