MY CASE IS A CASE AGAINST THE SECRETARY OF STATE:

I have used my self and the system as it has been applied to me since 1998 and probably before when I first became registered as disabled.

In those days the WCA and the assessment process was completed by ATOS who when I managed to get them to court for the number of Re-works of the Assessments completed by them far out weighed the number getting it right first time.

If you also remember there was a program on like under cover Boss, but this was a "new" guy wanting to get into the assessment of "people" and was hired by the DWP to help with the back log. "Or so they thought"

They paired him up with the "best" and who was at that time getting £850 for a simple assessment and then getting £250+ for extra work if they did ask for a rework or MR.

His words " you can make your self some serious money if you want, no questions asked." all I do is look at the paperwork sent in at home do the assessment at home which takes about 10 or 15 minutes make them an offer of a reduced rate or a possibality that what you offer if looked at to closley may go down if viewed by another assessor that is harder than me. Most accept, but I still put in another request for re-work, so I make about £1200 a claim and complete about 10 a day.

The day before ATOS were to appear they jacked in the contract to assess, you also have to remember who hired them.

They had to buy out of the contract to give the contract back for AN UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT? BUT STILL HELD ONTO THE LIMA SYSTEM and just in my eyes rebranded.

LIMA for those that do not know is Logic Intergrated Medical Access. Its a series of questions with a series of answers given by QUALIFIED DOCTORS AND SURGEONS, where there could be 3 to 5 answers to the question depending on the severity of the condition.

Where it comes unstuck is the people that use the system may have been qualified in something medical. But the Charter and the Law states that the people completing the assessment MUST BE ON THE BRITISH MEDICAL REGISTER AT THE TIME OF THE ASSESSMENT and MUST SHOW AN I D WITH THEIR PICTURE AND REGISTRATION NUMBER ON IT BEFORE THE ASSESSMENT BEGINS.

This is covered in the Bond Solon Rules Part 35 Section 2 where there are 10 sections just to this part that would not allow an assessor or any government department to use this.

This was why when being assessed in the early stages I asked for th Medical Report to be sent to my GP so that their assessment can be placed onto my Medical History along side my assessments completed by the NHS.

Fast forward 8 years and about another 6 assessments, Ian dunken Smith, in getting him to court he resigned the day before, saying his heart was telling him one thing and he was being told to do something else?

appearances in the upper Tribunal caused the 2008 Social Security Act to be written, and again in 2009, 2010 and 2011 where the upper Tribunal forced the DWP to relook at Thousands of assessments and there was a scramble to rewrite Acts and Laws that governed the Social Security Act, Human Rights Act, Data Protection Act, all around that time, since in refusing to accept an assessment completed by Capita, Concentrix, ATOS or Maximus who were now on the scene with the Universal Credit Program to save money in Admin by combining 6 different benefits into one where a CENTRAL COMPUTER WILL HAVE YOUR INFORMATION ON IT and any government benefit department that required information about you could get that from this computer.

RIGHT? WRONG, every assessment or requirement from a government department that needs to know about you to access this computer MUST ASK PERMISSION BEFORE ACCESSING THIS INFORMATION. THIS IS THE DATA PROTECTION ACT.

So in plain english they reworked the paperwork so that when you give permission in one form they worded it so that you gave permission to others to also access it by saying, We will only use this information if when applying for benefits another department may require this same information. For Instance Housing Benefit when applying for a bridging loan. If you history of payments are rubbish then your not going to get one.

Or applying for housing reduction or council tax reduction. ON EACH OCCASSION THEY HAVE TO ASK YOUR PERMISSION, including access to your medical files.

My case next week is to claim compensation for the repeated errors to me and my family, and the people I represent, and to make sure that Tribunal Results and judges directions are upheld and that amendments made to the Benefit are legally logged, so that conversations later after a year or two don't alter the original agreement.

Oh we always do this when you are comming to the end of your certificate (a 3 year certificate issued, and then reassessed after 1 year and 2 month?) the charter is spacific, it states that if any changes to you or your medication that can affect the original out come must be reported, but it also states that we may contact you 3 MONTHS before the end date, just to ask some preliminary questions prior to sending out another claim form or appointment review.

Once you answer with more or less information it gives them a chance to review your case and start a fresh claim.

There are lots more, but needless to say I am expecting the DWP to try again the 11th Hour call to settle out of court, but I have covered this like last time where they contacted the court not me to say they WILL BE MAKING ME AN OFFER. THIS GOES AGAINST THE JUDGES DIRECTION TO APPEAR, THE TIME RESTRAINTS SET IN LAW AND BY THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, i DID NOT RECEIVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE FILES where they committed fraud, forged my signature on a document, and rewrote some of my medical history, (I was in hospital having Bi-lateral Knee replacements) and an assessor came to the hospital to see if I was their just before going into the operating theatre, that all the assessors I saw never showed me a name tag, and when asking one from Capita who came to my home, he assaulted me, because I would not let him in my home but was persuaded by my wife to let him in, after 10 minutes he asked me to look on the medical register which I was already doing and I showed him the result of him not being allowed to assess until he finished his formal training which was started 3 years before and NEVER COMPLETED OR SIGNED TO SAY HE COULD ASSESS, he slammed the computer down on m,y fingers and almost took the front door off the hinges including the front gate.

But other wise its a pretty straight forward case. More open and shut if you will excuse the pun.
