    Hi Mike.   Sadly I have to disagree.  this is a topic which I could go into in vivid detail however I do not want to debate the failed system. 

    However I found this which may make you rethink.    Published on the 1st of May 2019, with the headline.   "... Complaints about disability benefit assessments up 6,000% in three years, figures show ..."
    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/disability-benefit-assessment-complain-uk-government-a8894341.html

    You may also wish to review the UN reports from 2017, 2018 and 2019. 
     
    I wish we lived in a world where the disabled, poor and vulnerable are not targeted.   I do understand that benefit crime had been a major issue in our country but to pick on the disabled who obviously needs the assistance but to deny them is CRUEL by anyone`s standard.

    I requested my assessors report and I just received it yesterday and it’s a load of ****. From the report I have scored 2 but the assessor has contradicted herself as what she has wrote down doesn’t add up to what the descriptors are.. for instance she has wrote down that I struggle with engaging and meeting new people but then scored me 0 on that. It is madness
