You could write to the DWP, PIP section, that you are not going to attend any of their benefit assessments, as it re-traumatises you, and say why assessment trigger what distresses. And the DWP has a clear duty of care not to cause harm to persons/ to promote good health, and you have a Right to Life, Article 2 of the ECHR.
However:
please copy the letter to your MP, then its an official complaint, Google ''Find your MP, UK'';
go to an advice agency such as a Citizens Advice Bureau, or a disability, or mental health project, giving benefits advice, to help you write your letter.
Good for you for being assertive, making a stand, the more claimants of benefit who do this the better.
There is no point living in fear; sometimes it is right to stand up and be counted.
We all have a Right to Privacy and Family Life, which is Article 6, I think, of the ECHR (I have a damaged, traumatised memory from being hit with an iron bar years ago). So the DWP cannot invade your mobile fone or interfere with your post, for example or call, round to see you unless they have a good reason for an appointment. Also when you fill in forms for benefits such as ESA and PIP, please do not give your telephone number or email, as they could then see where you are going, what you are doing etc. Save yourself a lot of bother, as you do not have to give government all of your contact details (Right to private, and family life, ECHR).
I strongly advise people to Google ''the right to privacy, U.K., and benefits laws and regulations'', as different rules apply to some groups of people.
However please ensure you Google ''the Human Rights Act 2000, U.K'' as it came out of Britain's membership of the European Court of Human Rights
And the ''UN Charter on the Rights of Disabled People''
It is too early for me to take the government to court over their oppression of vulnerable, disabled people like myself. I shall wait for a copy of the proposed law 'Getting Britain Working'' coming soon, c/o my MP Richard Burgon. Everyone is entitled to an easy read or Plain English summary of any government information.
But if you also are feeling encouraged and assertive, and want to join me in a class/group legal action - the more the merrier.
Look after yourselves.

When my mum died in 2017, my late sister had to go to the jobcentre, She told them she was grieving. They said you had 2 weeks , you should of got over it. My sister lived in London, this shows how heartless jobcentre people can be. Not all maybe.
Glad you are taking them court.

Thank you, AKR, for some common sense 🙄
The above investigation is only from January 2021. The UN raised the alarm in 2016.
UNCRDP Report 2024
UN Committee slams government failure to address disability rights violations
Posted: 25 April 2024
- Yet again the UK government has been found in breach of Disabled people’s human rights.
Yesterday the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities published a report, after looking at the UK government’s progress since 2016. This was when the same committee found that austerity and welfare policies were leading to grave and systematic violations of Disabled People’s Human Rights. The UN Committee did not see any progress in addressing those violations, moreover, it documented evidence of retrogression.

The UN actually raised the alarm in 2015, referring to a "human catastrophe" if the proposed cuts went ahead. The cuts went ahead. Our attention was elsewhere in 2016 by some coincidence 🤔
Those on Employment and Support Allowance placed in the Work Related Activity Group and who are not fit for work have had one-third of their meagre weekly incomes removed by a legislative change since 2016. DPAC
Even on this forum, we haven't grasped the fact that WRAG claimants are also unfit for work (or so-called work-related activity) and have been robbed of their disability component.

Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilitiesreport might be basis for legal action against the UK Government; I will consult lawyers, and any other experts in the field, please advise me of the latter if you happen to know. Thank you

The pure cold heartedness of starmer and reeves makes me think they can do what they want without a care.
