Weird Nonsense Silly and Even Stupid Questions PIP or WCA Assessors have asked
I am completely confused about the assessors. Are they incompetent or just pretending to be? Is the DWP just hiring anyone to do these jobs? Are they making up their own questions during the assessment? Are they asking nonsense questions so that don't have anything relevant to write down in the report? Or are they asking…
