Assessor, mistakes

feeling much better today, so decided to look through the assessor notes. I have taken on board if I go to Tribunal, not to '****' of the assessor. Also it's no good saying, I said this and she said that.. Although there is a comment where she said I didn't need any prompting, that is naughty as she did prompt me into saying I might be able to walk 1 to 2 minutes and rest, and in her report the 1 to 2 minutes is now 2 mins. Am I correct o say, I have the right to reply to that and a tribunal would not judge my response in the negative.
I have picked up on a number of wrong judgements, made by the assessor, such I am on a low dose of pain killers when in fact I am on a high dose. She also reported I am not suffering from a cognitive limiting condition, when I do , fibromyalgia. She has lied in saying I spelt the word world backwards, I never! Also she has omitted some of my conditions. I don't want to complicate matters lol, for my sake rather than a tribunal. So please any advice on how I should handle the above, would be much appreciated, although At present I don' t have the results of my assessment. I need to have an idea of what I will do, for my own sanity. Once my mind takes over negatively, I am a dog with a bone, and would make myself very unwell.

When I put me letter in to the tribunal, not sure the correct name for it. I went through the assessment letter and pointed out the errors and wrote the facts.
That letter only actually went on 1 and a half A4 pages, sounds a lot but typed it on the computer.
When my tribunal was heard the f2f assessment was NOT even mentioned by the tribunal and I did not mention it, I already highlighted the errors in the letter.
Hope this helps

I suppose they will have already read your letter Susan?0

Charlene,
i hope they did!! they had my letter, prescriptions list etc at the tribunal hearing.
The hearing was one of the most difthings Iv ever had to do but thankfully I won.
we shouldn’t have to do this at all, the assessments should be done impartiality and honestly.
clearly that’s not the case as ****% of tribunal hearing side with the claimant
They assessment companies should be fined for wasting time and lots of money because of Atos and capitas failings
Just my opinion

Sorry for my spelling, typos1

I am in total agreement with you Susan. I would go further and charge them for all the extra cost of tribunals etc.2

Definitely Charlene, it’s totally unnecessary waste of money .
surly someone out there should be asking the questions why are so many people awards being overturned at tribunal.
the system isn’t working1 -
It's broken, not fit for purpose. I am so proud of all those 'mature' people who are not rolling over dead, but are fighting back against such blatant injustice.3
