Hi, my name is Mutleyhehe!

Hi All,
What annoys me about all of this attack on disability is the following.
NHS writes you off at a certain stage as nothing further can be done?
NHS won't even change medications due to the prescribing laws on opiates so your stuck in the spiral of what you are on.
If you work and can't do the job you get let go or retired. In my case retired and advised that I am not fit for any job.
PIP assessors appear take no notice of the medical evidence. Therefore you have to convince them.
You qualify as have numerous conditions but they in my case don't award the 4 points anywhere.
Now they want to get you of the benefit despite the NHS writing you off and your employers doctors ( in my case govt. dept.) saying you cant work but an assessor not a specialist in your illness can say your fit to work.
Do any of these politicians actually understand the reality. Plus why can't PIP have direct access to your medical records instead of you having to supply medical evidence and them having to write to GPs / Consultants etc.

Hi @Mutleyhehe and a warm welcome to the community!
It is a very worrying and unknown time disabled people and put together it does feel like a massively deeply flawed system.You may be interested in the Green Paper Discussion and Spring Statement Discussion as members are chatting about the recent news there.
It's lovely to have you on the community and I hope you enjoy your time here0
