    @maid08 Thanks for the ideas about stopping the lies. You've given me and hopefully others a good idea about the solicitors letter. OK you have to pay for the letter but if it get's you the right benefit it will be paid back many times over and the saving in stress will be huge. I would hand the letter over at the beginning as all the online tick boxes have been done by the end and the truth will have to be what the assessor then remembers rather than recording it as it's given to them.  
    thanks, wildlife you just give me the idea  yes prob better to hand it over first and se the reaction an honest assessor will cary on with acesmant a lier will pack up and leave and a solicitors letter is from 25to 50quid so is worth every penny  as long as we remember these people are not gov employees but working for private company

    i doubt the use of a sollicitors letter would be of benefit
    it is not evidence
    if given at the start the HCP may decide that you are being uncooperative and stop the assessment
    they do not have to accept it at the end

    and im sure if the intention to lose you benifits that will put a burdon on hp even if told to alter by capita or atos  after all sueing hp  will be easy a judge will make them attend court and want answers to how they can diagnose someone by sight  and when they have no qualification in problem given  ???what can they say apart from admit defeat  and face paying my 6000 loss to date plus reminder of award im due ??i have in the past taken cars and household goods from peaple puling a fast one so wont feel sory for hp at all

    @CockneyRebel I do understand what you are saying but firstly can I mention that as you have not had a bad decision made by the DWP which came about because of the dishonesty of an assessor it may be difficult to understand why those of us who have feel so desperate to not want this to happen to us again. I have had a life time of problems to sort out after bringing up two disabled boys in the days when their disabilities weren't recognized. I have also looked after all the affairs for elderly relatives and worked as and been a carer myself. Sticking to the rules which requires a certain amount of backing down on the part of the claimant is not always the best way to deal with the benefit system. If I'd done that I would have now been on standard PIP for both components and would be feeling doubly hard done by as I managed to increase my mobility to what it should have been had the assessor not lied. I'm not sure what is the best way to let an assessor know that I am not going to put up with lies written about me last year. However by the time I am reviewed, when I will be saying certain new conditions have appeared and other things have got worse, I will be doing just that!

    @maid08 I know how you feel but please be careful and think through what you are going to do. A woman has just won a court case against an assessor for the lies told about her but CockneyRebel is probably right about how the assessor will react to a letter being given and does not have to accept it. So I take back what I said but it's up to you. Maybe less obvious ways of safeguarding against having incorrect things written about you would be better than being openly confrontational.

    Not true that covert recordings are routinely accepted by tribunals. One media story about an appeal where such evidence was accepted but no evidence it even influenced the final outcome.

    A solicitors letter to a HCP is a potentially dangerous strategy. Firstly it’s just a letter before action and you don’t need a solicitor to do that. Secondly, there’s no action. You have no decision; no assessment; no evidence of wrongdoing; no financial loss. Thirdly the HCP will not walk away. They will decline to accept you dictating terms and unless you agree to go ahead they’ll treat you as a failure to attend and DWP will likely sanction you. Challenging that sanction could take 18 months or more (if you have to go to UT) and if you fail then your PIP claim is dead and you’ve not even had the assessment. 

    Far better to be clear which points you ought to score and why; what you’re supporting evidence is and then, if you’re not happy with the outcome you have the options of 

    - MR and appeal for the decision.
    - complaint to assessment provider if guidance breached.
    - complaint to the relevant professional body for the HCP if misconduct etc. can be demonstrated.
    today i have sat and listened to  a judge  that judge states a transcripted page done by a soliciter can and should be used   because if  from previous dealings with a private company you have suffered loss and that company seems intent on creating further loss and you can prove so ??i can on previous dealings  then a court or tribunal  will acept it as its evidance in youer case appeal or claim  im sory but giveing the things you say should be done was done with same result nothing??this time i will fight so its not  and why should we be honest when the other side will not be  complaining to relivant controling body is useles thats been proven and being delt with by  gov department or mp  as to last comment pip acessmant will be dead no its not  as you can put in again for same benifit with new illness starting the wj hole farce over again BUT knowing by then just how stacked it is against you so can be just as clever and under hand as capita atos or dwp

    prob with us is being honest and thinking we are dealing with honest peaple we are not we are dealing with cash hungry fake peaple intent on that new car or house or luxuary life on a wage we could not dream about  payed by gov  we are told over and over any false  claims will result in prosecution for fraud  yet peaple working for latrge lump of cash per day are falsey ing claims to harm us for being honest without fear of prosecution ??? thats acessers AND mike you cannot tell acessers what points or anything else you can only give how you are day to day but that bit is ignored confirmation from dwp  no docters consultandts paperwork no use we use an opinion to make our decision that comes from a medical profeshinol  and if need be i can demand copys of calls  as each i rung noted time date and person on line calls in are recorded calls out from dwp are not althogh most staff think nothing is recorded  but it is

    Oh and at no point am I telling anyone not to fight. I’m using my experience as a WRO to explain what the correct battles are. The ones you can win.
    just a note on what you said 1 i know what i should have goten a know how much lies cost me  i know my pip will stop straight after acessmant and how much it will cost me i also know three consultants were gobsmacked at last acessmants results and i aldso know why i had last one looked at dispite mr failing  purely as the  daft dm sighned my papers   her mistake  meant i was able to point out i could and would take her to court    she then relooked at my case rung on a sat morning exsplaing she had awaerded enought points for both lower is that satisfactory to me ??now after all the hassel lies from them till that time i had a sress related stroke so   i think i know its fight or stop  instead of  listening to peaple on here who prob had it easy   refering to youer comment half won't know what points or a mount they lost should have sorry if this affends but a walefare rights person told me that yes you need medical documants and consultants  and any evidance  that helps dm make his decision ??all wrong i have it in writeing from dwp they use only acessers report as a fully qualified medical profesinol and there is no point in this advice it is a complete waste of time
