Hi guys,this is my first post and please don't judge me.Just can't get rid of my rage towards lying Capita and their assessors.Why they are allowed to get away with the crime they keep commiting.Is there anyone above them and really can sort the lying b.. trds ? They befriend you,you being so open to them and then you get a paper full of lies in your report not even a single word you told them in it.
There should be someone ,who is there for US,people who with our health issues kept being abused by the system even more,that brings more and more extra health problems,severe depressions,anxieties,suicides...
I was so angry when i received the report with lies,that i cursed the assessor and assessor's family,and that's not in my nature.Now i sleep all day long as my condition is worsening, have difficulty to pick myself up and fight.Taking unprescribed Bromazepam to keep myself "alive" and to write this post.
Why Capita allowed to walk all over US?
Something needs to be done.
P.S once again,sorry for the post filled with anger

@V4Vendetta I know how you feel but hopefully as time goes on you will be able to turn your anger into positive action to end up with an award of benefit that is fair and based on truth. There are 2 things you can be doing. One is to prepare for a Mandatory Reconsideration based on your report but you will have to wait for your final decision before submitting it. The other is to write to Capita to start an official complaint.
Myself and thousands of others are being lied and treated like criminals during assessments ,when they who assess US are the ones that commit the crime by lying through their teeth.
Reason is I can't stand being treated like a criminal and tell my private things to an assessor who has no qualification in mental health.
Also my condition is not getting better,they keep me on the same medicine,don't want to change it,and what's important ,i only get 2 or 3 appointments with my psychiatrist a year,who is as useful as pope's ......
I never been like that,but bursting with anger not only for myself but fellow claimants who being played by these scammers.
My assessment was done very badly but I’ve never felt any animosity towards the assessor. Remember there may be a number of reasons why errors are made - incompetence, poor training, having a bad day, making a simple mistake, and of course they may be right and you’re wrong! Take into account also that most assessments are carried out professionally and competently.
In my limited experience - I’ve had one assessment - I have more of a problem with the service providers themselves. A variety of people dealt with my request to rectify the mistakes in my assessment, and I was met with a total reluctance to do so.
All that was ever required was “We’re sorry, we’ve made mistakes and we’ll put them right”
First of all,where did I say i anykind of special than anyone.My heart hurts and i cry reading others people with similar stories either it' physical or mental disability.And yes it may haunt me ,but that's how I feel and don't think will feel any worse than i go through most of the days.
Can't call them humans ,when they lie through their teeth on someone's fragile and vulnerable state?
How many deaths they have on their hands?
Im genuinely glad you came across some people eager to help and rectify,but so far and it's my second time I experienced such horrible approach to such delicate job.
And regarding animosity;once again it's not in my nature,but thats what been brought up within so far and also we all have different state of mental health.
Let's not forget about hose who able to beat the system and trust me i'm aware of quite few.
please don’t blame DWP they too have to follow rules which are not set by them but by the government. They are only doing their jobs following rules and guidance. I have friends some of whom previous worked for DWP and they get abused by customers on phone just because they followed the guidelines.
One life is too many,because of their mistakes,and its its more than one suicide ,because of their so called mistakes whilst assessing the person.
As I've mentioned here before, I know a couple of HCP that worked for Capita and IAS (Atos) most of this this is about money and statistics, the training is very basic to say the least. Thankfully they have left those cowboy outfits and could see why many claimants get turned down.
Paralysed claimant refused PIP on transfer from DLA
A claimant who was getting the higher rates of DLA has been refused any award of PIP, in spite of being partially paralysed after contracting swine flu eight years ago.
Anna Yellop, 48, has scarring of the brain, takes up to 200mg of morphine a day and is almost completely unable to stand or walk. Her husband is her full-time carer.
She has an adapted Motability vehicle which her husband has to use to drive her to accident and emergency whenever she has a neurological attack, which happens frequently.
Yellop was on the higher rates of DLA care and mobility, but was assessed as not being eligible for any award of PIP.
Not only will Yellop have to return her Motability car if her appeal is unsuccessful, but her husband will also lose his carers allowance.
Yellop had thought the move from DLA to PIP would be straightforward and had not expected to lose out:
“When I read the letter, I burst into tears straight away. I felt completely as if my head had been bashed in.”
“I felt as if someone had just come and totally robbed me of everything – it isn’t just your money, it’s your life.
“It’s your life. It’s everything I’ve gone and lost.
“The assessor came into my home and robbed me of my life.”
Yellop has now requested a mandatory reconsideration.

The DWP, and government are in complete denial and corrupt as ever they break rules, tells total lies and we are paying price for their mistakes while they get away with Tax avoidance.

Again I will say it isn't helpful to posters who've experienced a bad assessor to be continually told how they assess you when that's not the way it was done. Or that it's your fault for not understanding how the descriptors work. Many disabled people are not able to understand by virtue of their disability and shouldn't be expected to. Defense of all assessors is wrong while ever there is even one dishonest member working amongst them. This forum has changed a lot from 2017 when there were knowledgeable Benefit Advisers who were kind and sympathetic even if they couldn't answer the question. The rest of the posters did their best to help. This element of "it's your fault" when a stranger arrives asking for help and defense of this corrupt process was non evident in posts from that time. Have you noticed how newcomers arrive and disappear just as quickly as soon as they realize no help is forthcoming? It's very sad that the written word is used to make people feel even worse than when they arrived here instead of trying to help them sort out the mess many of them find themselves in through no fault of their own.
From what i read and heard for years and out of my own experiences ,they DO lie on reports without even thinking of circumstances,how it may affect the ill person.
All two reports i've got ,seemed were from different people as so e things wouldn't even apply.
Hence and I hope not ,if i ever will need another face to face assessment,i will be installing personal security cameras with audio recording.Then I can take it court,or even media, to expose once again and show what they really are.
I really do hope that I start getting better and won't have to go through this again,but if I will have to,like I said,they will be filmed and recorded.
As for recording and video evidence;personal security cameras are still a loophole.Assessors allowed to carry their phones,getting hour reminders and call backs in case they are in danger.So technically person who is being assessed can and should be allowed to have their own sort of personal security, let's say ,equipment.
Says the man who probably knows everything about the system. The fact is, most people have not got a clue how the system works or should work. Ordinary people who are barely literate should not be expected to present their cases like experts who are legally trained solicitors.
The system is abusing peoples rights because they are not allowed access to expert legal advice needed to make correct claims.
This means the entire benefits system is designed to defraud people who have legitimate claims.
