    A number of posts have been reported by several people. My delusion will be staying around. 

    It’s actually really easy to argue with stupidity. You just pick it apart with facts. Abuse is what you do when you don’t have facts. No-one is saying they’re helping. However, the idea that when they don’t help they’re doing so on purpose and aimed just at you is just exaggerated abject nonsense. 
    I’ve got better things to do than argue about the C U N T that worked for the government. I’m not gonna repeat myself in response to you Nancy’s defending this C U N T. Report away guys cos I’d rather be blocked than be amongst people who thing I’m wrong.

    This forum is about supporting people and not for throwing accusations and remarks like that. There's no need to use hurtful comments like that, that's specifically aimed at one member. The comments have been reported.
    So?! He’s put it in plain English. It’s people like him that are the reason people like me have to go thru this appeal system! I stand by what I said, he and every other person working in the government sector are vile humans! Why else would they see so many of us suffer needlessly? Wake up and smell the coffee!
    Every person?  My kids have had 6 assessments between them.  All assessors were kind, considerate and gave the award that I thought was deserved.  Including the paper assessment where the nurse phoned me up to let me know she had completed it.  On top of that, almost all DWP call centre staff I have spoken to over the years have been great.  Very helpful and understanding.  There are massive problems with the system.  Mainly down to government policy.  Not down to ordinary working folk who are doing their best within the system.  And no, I have never worked for the government.

    I'll also add to that @Tardis. I've had 3 successful ESA decisions, 1 of those was paper based and all decisions were Support Group. This includes my most recent ESA face to face just over 2 weeks ago.

    I've also had 2 successful PIP assessments. At review my award was increased. My daughter has also had a successful PIP award. All assessment reports were completely honest and truthful, including every single HCP being very friendly and extremely helpful during all my face to face assessment.

    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.

    Update on my tribunal outcome

    i have just got back from Court and I won the tribunal! 

    Ive waited nearly 2 years for this and I was in Court for less than an hour - the DWP didn’t even turn up and the judge, Dr and Disability expert were all lovely. They made the decision after a 5 minute recess, emailed it to the DWP immediately and also advised its backdated to the beginning of the claim....it’s been a nightmare journey but it’s been awarded for 3 years and I’ll focus now on getting better

    Latest update.   It's just over three weeks since our Tribunal result and we have received a letter from DWP acknowledging it and saying the money will be paid next week.
