WCA statement from assessor 'disappeared'.

I was told (in a letter) that the young male nurse who interviewed me had given me zero points. He had told me that everything would be fine. When I made an appeal the DWP sent me over 100 pages of documents. That included the statement of  first WCA interview some years before but the second one (from the nurse) was missing !!

So, they appear to have deliberately lied to me. I am relating the story because it happened to someone else in this forum and it may help someone else.

I didn't attend the appeal because I discovered I had a pension meantime. I also didn't fancy dealing with a judge and a doctor. A judge, really ?

    Thanks for asking. It was more than a year ago. I quit benefits but I was too sick of the system to complain. Might help others in a similar situation.
