    Hi @g7iqj, Sorry no one has been able to offer any advice so far. I found this page that you might find useful to have a read through.

    It talks about the ICE complaints process and what happens after you have submitted your complaint. Point number 4 onwards talks about what happens when it gets to the Independent Case Examiner.

    It says that they will attempt to complete action within 20 weeks of the complaint being passed to an investigator. I hope that's helpful, but if you have any questions let me know and I will do some more research :)

    Hello g7iqj 

    You've taken the first step by emailing ICE about a flawed or corrupt assessment by a WCA or CHDA assessor. ICE will now review your complaint, investigate if necessary, and issue a final report with any recommendations. 

    The DWP will respond to this report, and further actions may be taken to address the issues raised. The process can take time, and it's essential to maintain open communication with ICE during the investigation. While the outcome isn't guaranteed, ICE provides an avenue for an impartial review of government department actions. 

    I wish you the best of luck with your complaint to ICE. May your efforts in seeking a fair and just resolution be successful.

    Hi MW, 

    I'm pretty sure that the first step is to lodge a complaint with DWP and that every effort must be made to resolve the problem before ICE will investigate.

    Hello WhatThe 

    The standard recommendation is to follow the regular procedure by initiating the DWP's internal complaint process. However, there are circumstances where exceptions apply. 

    In situations marked by significant safety concerns, immediate harm, or extraordinary conditions, it may be justifiable to directly reach out to ICE. It's worth noting g7iqj has not provided information about whether they have already gone through the DWP's complaint procedures.

    Hello g7iqj 

    I often find myself questioning the humanity of these assessors especially after reading your posts. Wishing you strength and a positive resolution in your case.

    SAD it feels the whole  WCA is set up for u to fail .  BEcause  dwp desstion makers  seem to go on  40% ur & medical  eveidence reports  . & 60 % on what the asseor reports .  IIN my case asseor young nurse early 20s  registered  nurse 18 mouths  has little hands on exp  tick box phone assetnment .  REEL  world  if you can only mobilise  20 meteres  with aid stick  you dont go far do much . NOT  just work it effects but life in genural & 59 you dont want all mental  stress  of appeals MR/S complaints  just to get fairness justice .&  Daily physical pain discomfort . AS FOR  DWP  disability  white paper , dwp forcing bullying targetting  55- 64 yr olds with disabiltys back to work .  I want go there .

    The UC WCA stats say different, believe it or not. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/universal-credit-work-capability-assessment-april-2019-to-march-2023/universal-credit-work-capability-assessments-april-2019-to-march-2023

    Since April 2019, DWP have made 1.9 million decisions.

    Of these decisions, 16% of people were found to have no limited capability for work and hence no longer on UC health, 19% limited capability for work (LCW), and 65% limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCWRA).

    YET you do wonder  as unite untion member . Unite has seen   big increase  in people  its members  having the up evil . OF going througth  MR , REVEIEW  with as little less 20 %   after mr getting LCWRA .  MOST  had to go on to appeal  tribunral  just to get fairness & justice  were 60 % CASES go infavour off claimiant  40% in favour  DWP  .  MOST off problem is down to flawed corourpt reporting by  CHDA /ASSEORS.  &   NOW  disability white paper  say no more . & 59 now good work record you  should not have to up with daily pain discomfort , mobilise issues . &  mental stress of MR/ TRIBUNALS  just to get fairness & justice. Still theres election next year things may change  we hope .  DISABILITY  white paper may never become law in its present form .   AS say in my case can only mobilise 20 meteres aide with stick cant  use manual  wheel chair as brings on pain discomfort exhaustion .  SO  you cant go far do much that involves  mobility / walking , shuffle  over 20 meteres  . ITS not just work , but everday life in general  painfull . & DWP  are targetting 55- 64 yr olds  with disabilitys  . NOT surprised  as we get older  our mechanics  were out 55+ . & Govertnment just go on make policys purely on figures on paper , tick boxes .  STAY safe  try keep well .

    I think that stats speak for theirself. For reviews, the majority of them have been suspended since 2020.
