PIP assessment

Hello @kells2019 Please can I first point out that you have made various insinuations and assumptions about those who have addiction histories.
As a community champion of the forum I will and would like to point out a lot of misinformation you have stated.
No one ever wishes to have an addiction whether alcohol or drugs or the social ones prevalent in our community. I know it is called respect and should be so any one with any condition , illness disability, undiagnosed conditions and how we as a community can help and be supportive.
Second I do understand what you are saying with regard to your assessment but it is important to stay focused and be strong every time this happens.
Having been doing assessments continuous and some time long time.
Since early eighties then the Incapacity benefit and a period of employment. Now from the early nineties.
I have experienced what you are going through.
The main issues and problems seems to me is to try to think the positive the negatives can effect mental wellbeing. Of course it hurts and I am one example of this.
Lost my car and yet continued to struggle and strive. Every assessment it how and what you learn from each one. Which is important.
I would evaluate every point what all the contributors have added to you post. Sort the important stuff out. Many of our members have extensive benefit knowledge and expertise. Write it down all the valid points.
Please speak to CAB that is often a good start. A lot easier to deal with all the complexities and confusion.
Please can I ask are you receiving support for your mental health you disclosed.? If not consider looking on line.
I used this one mental health charity might be useful.

Often contacting some organisations can be beneficial. I am reading that you have had a lot of help and support in the past if that is not working or being helpful. Then find some one who will be helpful and useful to be supportive. Have look on line always help. Be glad to help and support you finding organisations if that is what you want.
Remember you are in control of your condition, disability, illness.
You know you so please ask any one for any advice or information.
Please take care.

I agree with @cockneyrebel - @ilovecatscomments are very a valuable contribution to the forum
It's very unfortunate that some posters seem to think that, because he/she has knowledge & experience of the assessors job, they are a spokesperson for Capita, Atos etc.
Which they are not AFAIK

Morning everyone,
Please remember the importance of respecting other members, and commenting on the content not the contributor. We don’t have to agree on everything but respecting other members is important to keeping the community safe and friendly.
