HI,Lots of people complain but they rarely do anything.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.

As anyone taken them to court? Also can you force them to show a nurse who did the assessment as training in neurological diseases?
-
I'm assuming you're talking about lies/contradictions told in your report? Do you have proof that they told lies because it's your word against theirs. If you've been refused or received an award you're not happy with then i'd advise you to concentrate on the MR then Tribunal.The HCP doesn't need to be qualified in certain conditions.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

She also stated i have no specialist imput which i can prove is untrue

If it's a PIP decision you're talking about then in my opinion unless you have money to sue, when it's your work against theirs then you're better off forgetting about the report because that's not going to get you an award.Concentrate on where any why you think you should have scored those points, adding a couple of real life examples of what happened the last time you attempted that activity for each descriptor that applies to you and prepare for the MR/Tribunal.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

@jack13 - you can't take the DWP/assessor to court if you've been refused benefit because there's an appeals process in place i.e.MR, followed by tribunal.

Hi
Update on my complaint. I received a letter stating my complaint is now being delt with the serious complaints department. 2 men are coming to my house on Thursday to take full statements -
Hi
The lies where not said to me they are wrote in her own report. She says i have no specialist input but as all letters from them. She says i have no cognitive difficulties or sensory problems. You can not be diagnosed with my condition with out them. She misgendered me twice. -
@jack13 - You asked earlier if anyone had been successful with their complaint...
What outcome are you expecting? -
I don't know. Probably just to mark her card so if another complaint comes in about her someone somewhere can use the complaints on some larger scale
-
Im fed up of disabled people fighting to just live but now fighting to be believed. Something as got to change
-
Very curious to know who is coming to your house to take statements of the lies/contradictions that were told in a report. I've never heard of this happening before.

@jack13 - I hope your complaint is successfully resolved...
The assessment company did a bit of a fob-off job on mine - very little interest, a begrudging apology, and some quite serious stuff such as lack of consent to examination etc conveniently overlooked.
I was really disappointed. Not because I wanted someone sacked - I said from the start that wasn't what I was looking for - but I have a lot of interviewing experience and my offer to help them improve things was just ignored as well...
On a positive note my subsequent MR was successful - although you would imagine that was coincidental...
Good luck ... -

Independent assessment sevices. There SCIT serious complaints investigation team. Got my letter Thursday called me Friday to book to come see me for statement. Im really hoping they can see how obvious what she wrote in the report proves she as no knowledge at all about my condition

@overlyanxious - just to add a bit of balance...
I'm not saying that it doesn't happen - it happened to me - but If you check through a lot of the 'assessor lied' posts you'll find that quite a lot of them are along the lines of 'assessor didn't agree with me' or 'the assessor said that i wasn't anxious and I was'
Which is a different thing entirely...

If its there word against yours they will win but to write in a report and you can prove it is not correct any specialist will tell you. I think hopefully this could be different eg. Imagine someone as had a heart attack then the nurse wrote this patient as had no diagnose anything is wrong with his heart.
-
@jack13 - I recorded my assessment so I know who said what....
The assessment was a dog's dinner from start to finish.
However one thing that struck me though was how easy it was to think that you've said something when you didn't - and that the assessor said something when they hadn't...
My assessor said that I drive an automatic car.
I don't - but I said I did, and I've never been able to fathom out why! -
