    Lol @ellied2004 I am currently doing a PhD in ooh ow ah and can it get any worse (need more practice), failed the do I look like I am depressed and disabled part of the course, on the grounds I was actually still alive, so might need to retake that part sometime in the future.

    Seriously tho give your little man lots of cuddles and don't feel guilty for things you can't do but enjoy the things you can. 
    Don't let those all singing stinky come harassing skating on thin ice dwp judges drag you down.  (wouldn't that make a good show).

    Hugs

    @ellied2004 they did the same with me x-ray but no mri. X-ray won't show up disc damage. I plan on putting a long letter of complaint to my hospital because I wouldn't be in such a bad way now if the rheumatologist hadn't of been so dismissive 10 years ago x

    Thanks @Victoriad I made an appointment 2 weeks ago but it's not until mid April.

    I've got stacks of medical reports but basically they all say nothing is wrong (I later found out that Fibro doesn't have physical affects a test can show). 

    My rheumatologist said the wanted to see me in 6 months (last June). I still haven't heard anything. I'm asking GP to chase it.

    I suffer from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, BPD. My assessor said I showed no signs of pain, depression or anxiety, so I'm cured! Hallelujah. Waiting on Tribunal date.

    Hi Toffee

    When you do get the report, try not to get hung up on the lies if they have told any. You should concentrate on getting the award you deserve. If you do have issues with the report then you should make a complaint to the assessment provider
    separately

    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    This would almost get my mp involved locally. 
    Shocking doesn't really cover it. 
    Reckon even the papers would be interested!
    Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going.

    Hi am sorry to hear you have received a report which is far from accurate and honest. I got mine today and it also said i wasn't sweating, didn't look in pain, didnt seem anxious etc. He neglected to report i was in tears on a few occasions, that when severely depressed a friend holds my medication comes to my house to give me it. He also said received no support for my illness even though i have just been referred back into mental health services by my gp. He also repirted himself as carrying out a multitude of physical checks, most of them he didnt !!  Its so distressing reading such nonsense isn't it. IIhave received a total of four points. Up until this i had a lifetime award for dla due to the severity of my physical and mental health..Good luck with your appeal. I will be taking the same route ? x

    There's boxes with dots or ticks but they're not added up because it's just a recommendation. You need to look at the PIP descriptors and add them up yourself to see what's been recommended.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
