So it would be easier for someone with walking difficulties to go and do a full shop around Asda rather than a home delivery.
DWP WCA PIP Assessors MP's are on another planet.

Hi everyone, we've started to go off the topic a bit here so just be aware! Let's try to bring it back to the original discussion if we can please, so everyone can follow along a little easier.
Of course, feel free to make a new discussion if you'd like to start up or carry on some conversations on other topics 😊

The comments in that article show that many are believing the lies.
We also have to remember the modern form of support from the DWP is sanctions and cuts (financial incentives). It isnt even accurate in terms of the dictionary definition but they have been allowed to lie for so long now.0 -

It’s just unbelievable. I was literally told to by a work coach via my partner aswell cause the work coach thought that I should be eligible for it because I need so much help with basically everything involving another person, communicating etc and the woman on the phone tricked me so it’s made everything 10x worse if I’m honest with you I’ll never be answering my phone again, not like I did really anyway. Then on the other hand I don’t want to be judgmental but I know people who get it who don’t seem to struggle nearly as much as me who have had it accepted without a fuss at all. It just depends if the assessor is a decent human being or not. It’s going to MR now so I’m expecting the next few months to be absolute hell. I don’t know why the government think it’s so easy to get PIP when they do things like this so they really need to shut up about making it more difficult cause it’s difficult enough.

This is been going on for over a year now, sunak started it. That everyday is a constant worry about what they are going to do. There was a political guest on talk, not mp but he's heard there maybe a reshuffle. Not sure how true that is

That is very impressive; far more than some spread sheet Charlie in "the city".
