Was waiting knew it was coming happens every time @michael57 starts a negative tone which quite often I've witnessed on here. I understand everyone has a opinion but his always seems not being in a friendly advice mode sometimes if a opinion is going to cause a reaction when the people on the forum are already highened with anxiety waiting for information and someone starts a conversation basically saying the people that is frauding the system you always hear them. What kind of statement is that to use? So will stick to my principles that michael57 was just trying to stir things up and absolutely no need for that. I've watched this pattern for him over weeks then someone writes in trying to depend him… there's no need to defend him he just needs to stop trying to wind people up because the end of the day we are all going through the same thing .

No, PIP (Personal Independence Payment) assessors are not all medically qualified doctors. They are, however, registered health professionals with specific training in disability assessment. This typically includes nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and paramedics. While they are not required to have specialist knowledge of every medical condition, they are trained in disability medicine and have a broad understanding of healthcare principles. .…if they have a understanding why do many feel the need to lie where's their understanding in that to the person they are assessing should be a medical professional with knowledge in the condition.

It seems all of the MP's from over here are for once singing from the same hymn sheet. They've all signed the reasoned amendment. Wonders will never cease to amaze me. I think Sammy Wilson would explode if you called him Irish.😂

While the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and assessment providers like Capita and Atos maintain that their assessors are not dishonest, there have been widespread allegations and evidence suggesting otherwise, according to Disability News Service. These allegations include claims that assessors have written dishonest and misleading reports, leading to incorrect PIP eligibility and award levels. Some reports indicate that assessors have faced pressure to meet targets, potentially contributing to the issue. In other words they lied 👍

This morning news…
- Downing Street has confirmed it is in talks with Labour MPs about possible changes to the government's welfare policies
- No 10 says they "want" to hold a vote on Tuesday, as currently planned, and admits getting the policy right is "not easy"
- It's a notable softening of tone, our political correspondent Henry Zeffman says
- More than 120 Labour backbenchers have signed an amendment calling for the proposals to be scrapped, making an embarrassing defeat for the government possible

Morning lincsgranny
My first assessor was so bad the dwp wrote they wanted my next assessor to record the assessment. 30 minutes before the assessment was to take place over the phone the centre called and said the assessor wasn’t equipped to record and blamed the dwp as according to them it’s the dwp who make the appointments. So even the phone staff lie . As I’ve said on here before and some didn’t agree , I know of someone medically trained who went to the training to become an assessor. They were so disgusted by the methods they were taught to down grade awards they didn’t even start the job . I believe this to be true .

Pip watered down we can only hope for some more compassion. It's not about forcing people back to work. I get pip I work 12 hours it helps me greatly.

LCWRA is my biggest fear, I’d be lost without it, hope if they want to abolish it or make it harder to get this gets a backlash as well

I think 3 point instead of 4 . Still no good as we mostly get 2s

I really don’t understand the lcwra and pip that’s coming in the future ( hopefully not). Right now you’re on lcwra and probably too stressed at the thought of another assessment to claim pip ( though could be your own personal reason obviously) . If it becomes one assessment and you pass you will then get pip and lcwra equivalent. Unless I’m missing something i don’t see how they’ll make savings
