PIP refusal as expected. Has anyone got over this first hurdle ( not literally )?

These assessments are not very scientific. The DWP have decided I can stand and walk 200 metres yet there is no evidence of this. I told the Capita assessor every step is agony for me, I'm not awaiting double TKR for no reason. The report is littered with inaccuracies and the tests are ridiculous. It was stated I do not have CTS as my grip was very good. This consisted of pinching the assessor's thumbs with my thumbs and index fingers. I plan on asking what the actual pounds per square inch force was. It's ludicrous. These tests have exacerbated my conditions, particularly my arthritic knees acid reflux condition. Would I have any redress under Cruel and Unusual Punishment as per The Human Rights Act?

If it's PIP I'd think very carefully before you go too much further as the fact that you seem to be saying that you are in pain when you walk but, at the same time, refusing a home visit. This might appear to be contradictory.
I don't know about ESA sorry...
Good luck...

They tried to say that I wanted someone to do my garden and shopping. I did say I love walking in the garden although my gardening was limited. It's a farce and they try to discredit every word
I've list my car now because I had to drop my hours if work due to my illness and couldn't keep up the payments.
I only drive automatic and I can say that you don't need much pressure in your foot to press the accelerator and the rest is done for you basically. I don't know why everyone doesn't drive automatic.

Have I read this right - your payment has been stopped and no-one has written to you to say why?
Unfortunately I suppose you'll just have to ring them again to sort things out...
Sorry you have to go through this - it's not nice...
