May/June 2018 With so many folks being pushed onto PIP from DLA remember to take your time in filling the form,
and don't try and make out you can do something when in reality you struggle to achieve the task listed or need help with
the task. Remember if you have to face a assessment to demand the assessors GMC number of a doctor, ENB reference
if a nurse and registration number for any other health service assessor, they cannot refuse you that information, if they
try to just tell them that you will contact their governing association that they have refused to give you what is legally
in the public domain and their organisations will deal with them. If you have no one to go with you record the conversation
you have with the assessor, a mini tape recorder or mobile phone can undertake that task.
September
2018 The complaints about PIP assessment continue to roll in to Disabilities Forum, we are now aware of 299
deaths of disabled people directly through assessors claiming genuine disabled people are not disabled, the corrupt
assessors hired by a corrupt ATOS health care, then over seen by a disgusting corrupt DWP whos sole purpose is to save the
government money using the most vulnerable group in society to achieve that target.A recently heard about disabled person
who was assessed 6 years ago by the DWP and placed on a higher rate than they had been in receipt of previously, this year
a so called occupational therapist claimed the person was not disabled despite highly restrictive vision "confirmed by NHS",
and very limited mobility which affected his daily life in almost every way. The corrupt Occupational Therapist made plenty
of statements 80% in accurate, but in this case she came up to a former double qualified senior nurse "RGN/RMN" and
was recorded with DWP permission to expose the totally untrue statement claimed by the assessor, counter claimed by the disabled
person. The client has formerly complained to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists and having spoken to them
discovered how disgusted they were with that assessor, the individual concerned is a Ms Sarah Price claiming to be an OT.
The client was a type 1 diabetic 51 years a diabetic, who directly though her lies cannot pay for a helper to draw up
his insulin, or pay for a helper to prepare his meals "sight", and cannot get out as he can no longer afford taxis to travel.
This assessor has been also reported to the police as a possibly deliberate manslaughter or even murder case.
Letter
to the minister October 2018
The Rt
Hon Esther McVey
c/o the house of commons
westminister
London
Madam
The change
over for Disabled People from Disability Living Allowance to Personal Independence
Payment is proving to be a highly dubious and corrupt exercise instructed by
the Government through the totally corrupt Department of Work and Pensions and
equally corrupt ATOS Health Care.
Disabilities
Forum have had clients who are totally blind being assessed as having normal
sight, clients with no legs in wheelchairs being assessed as walking 200 metres
unaided, assessed by so called medially qualified health professionals
ATOS Health
Care urge assessors to fail disabled people by pressuring assessors monies for
the assessments and promising more work if they fail disabled people, the DWP
assessors are civil servants who self admit to having no medical knowledge at
all, disabled people are treated with contempt, lies and no respect what so
ever. You as the
minister concerned need to end this corrupt practice I am aware it is a money
saving exercise using the most vulnerable members of society to save the
government monies but in doing so people are dying “299 to date, governments
own numbers obtained
directly related to assessment corruption”
The system
may catch the odd fraud but in the attempt to save monies thousands of disabled
people are seeing their quality of life reduced directly by the governments
policies “yours”, people are being hospitalised through your policies and 299
have died as a direct result of your policies.
It was said
to me that ATOS Health Care corrupt practices would and had lead to them
loosing the contract but I am rely-ably informed that no other health
assessment group would sacrifice proper assessment for government stipulations
to fail disabled peoples assessments so ATOS who will sacrifice disabled people
genuine disabilities for money were given back the role.
Sort this out
January 2019 The corrupt practices under the stewardship of new internee Amanda Rudd contuse with the change from DLA to PIP.
It has been confirmed by former assessors that the most corrupt health care company ATOS healthcare deliberately places assessors
to carry out assessments on clients that they are totally out of their depth to undertake assessments. Examples are maternity
nurses being given mental health clients to assess, under qualified occupational therapists given blind clients to assess.
Many assessments do not see the proper tests carried out so the assessors report the client did not fail the test, such areas
as rotational tests on wrists, and ankles mobility and include a below the leg amputee who it is claimed passed the ankle
rotation tests, a mental health client who the assessor claimed did not have any issues and spoke in concise detail with confidence
of their difficulties. Approaches to the Director General of the DWP have resulted in no response even when MPs approach the
director they feel that they are untouchable. WHAT YOU CAN DO Ask the assessor their qualification - if you feel they are unable to carry out an assessment
do not continue. If you have the assessment you are then asked to sign a completion form - do not do so - state that you will sign
it after receipt of the assessment report and if you feel it is inadequate refuse to sign any form, and always lodge a complaint
about the assessment when you request the DWP to look at the decision again, Remember the DWP assessors are not medically
qualified according to the DWP NOTE we won the case with a second reconsideration, proof
of the lies told by a recorded assessment tape, and support of a local MP. It did not go to an appeal.
January 11th 2019 ATOS Healthcare and DWP deliberate corruption continues, we today received a message from a client that they had been
turned down for PIP, based on the corrupt evidence of an ill qualified assessor who was and admits to being totally unable
to correctly assess our client. The client went for assessment to switch from DLA to PIP the assessment lasted just under
an hour, the assessor within her notes claimed our client walked normally unaided, his ankle rotation on left and right was
within normal levels. The client was turned down for PIP, the reconsideration included a transcript of the assessment which
had been recorded with DWP permission and the fact that the rotation tests had not been carried out, as well as a medical
impossibility that he had walked 12 yards into the room unaided - our client is a below the knee amputee left side, always
has to use crutches or a wheelchair "crutches on the assessment," yet the DWP assessor refused to accept the live copy/recording
of the assessment was true, and claimed our client could walk 200 yards unaided , and that the rotation tests on both ankles
was completed- this is total utter corruption and the Government using ATOS a corrupt organisation to save money rather than
properly funding disabled people it is total contempt for disabled people a tissue of lies supported and encouraged by the
equally corrupt CONSERVATIVE government.
April
2019 Disabilities Forum strongly support "Extinction Rebellion" and have attended the London
based protest with some of our clients. We urge you to support this non violent directive in your and go on line to add your
support at http://rebellion.earth
October 2019 The
PRS Performance Rights Society have attempted to gain monies from a number of disabled folk including us, the call goes as
follows. The caller will ask "do you listen to music on your property ?" if say yes they
respond "what do you listen on radio or anything else" if you then say yes to radio or CD, DVD ,record player, TV they
will claim that you need a licence, if you say you don't they will still try and claim that you pay for a licence and will
try and extract monies from you DO NOT CONTINUE THE CALL PUT THE PHONE DOWN. They will follow up, with us 38 times despite
the property they tell us we need a licence for we tell them is a home not a commercial property. We have now started a court
case against these monsters to compensate for harassment, stress and a deliberate attempt to obtain monies by false pretences.
November 2019 Today
November 1st another paper/report has been published severely criticising the institutional care or lack of care of people
with Learning Disabilities and Autism it makes recommendations and accuses the carers of actions that contravene the rights
of every human. Lets be honest the government has been well aware of the inhumane methods of care for this group of people
for years and has not acted it has deliberately just paid lip service and continued to encourage inhumane treatment of the
group of people, it has allowed people to be placed in cells for 24/7 has allowed and encouraged no people contact, and drives
Learning Disabled and Autistic people to suffer unacceptable torture at the hands of authorities "NHS and Local Councils".
The latest comments from the authorities has stated they will look at the recommendations and will act, no no no, the authorities
must act now, today not tomorrow, or next week or next month it must act now. Disabilities Forum urges anyone who is aware
of people facing daily imprisonment in so called places of care to contact the NHS, their MP and the Minister for Health &
Social Care demanding the cruelty ends immediately. We must demand proper care in the community support and demand a stop
to this action against humanity. Don't think about it do it now lets make this exposure a major issue.
March 27th 2010 I have been pressing the government to end/abandon council tax for 3 months as so many people have run out of
money especially self employed and 0 hours contracts and this is an instant way of helping people. "councils will loose 3
months monies but they have reduced their services anyway" I have also demanded that alongside this cut of Council tax the
Social Care module which is 2% could be lifted to 5% to help social care/intervention. I am also pushing for an American style grant be issued
to all under £25,000 annual income as the benefits application system will and now has broken down leaving so many unable
to claim any benefits.
April 30th Disabilities Forum have been in contact with supermarket
chains demanding that disabled people are allowed to be accompanied, example a wheelchair customer who cannot reach above
a certain level, and blind or partially sighted people who cannot see clearly what they want to purchase, intellectual
deficient cannot always read the packaging, in all cases help is essential. Sainsbury have clearly stated they will
not alter their one person only admission, our suggestion shop elsewhere we have tried with no problems at Iceland, Morrisons,
Waitrose or Tesco.
