THE FOLLOW ON

Well there is a report with a figure but it does not look right to me.

After the Disability Rights UK article in the last post suggesting that people were mostly happy with disability assessments a report was published with some number. That number is 4,000 or just so you do not think there is a typo, four thousand.

I had totally forgotten bout the Work & Pensions Select Committee of which I became involved letting them know of everything that went before and everything that was, or indeed was not, going on currently. After a cut down report they asked for more and stated they wanted to publish it. The late Michael Meacher MP also wanted to use my data in January 2013 and asked for permission to do so in the House of Commons to attack Iain Duncan-Smith. How long since IDS quit his job? This started long before I was asked by Michael Meacher if he could use my story. How long has this been going on then? How many times has the dishonesty of the DWP and their hetnchmen, like Atos and Capita, been reported? But they seem to be just catching them and reporting on them being dishonest now?! Do the court involved get there moment in the spotlight? After all you have to be incompetent to miss this for so long and if you did see it should have dished out some court orders to these people?

So .. most people were happy with PIP and ESA assessments were they? Four thousand complaints just in the weeks or two months at most after the Work & Pension Select Committee asked for them? This is not taking into account that most people would not have noticed the call for people to contact them, I nearly missed it myself. Nor does it take into account that these assessments have been complained about for several years beforehand.

Also and as someone pointed out on DPAC's Facebook page .. "Did anyone ask us?!" The answer is no .. they did not. Well done, Disability Rights UK for missing out that other disability chairities were not asked to ask their members. Where was the pinned request on DPAC's Facebook page, or Black Triangle's or Disability Rights UK for that matter?! I did not see one. In fact I cannot recall how I discovered it .. might have been messaged, notified or tagged by someone on Facebook? Might have stumbed across it on a webpage myself? Might have been emailed with the link from one disability group or another? I simply cannot recall.

So .. still being fecked over or not provided service and support by all the above. Just some little mention in some little article, all of which avoided like the plague by the TV News groups, that never gets followed up. Almost as if we were intentionally being mislead by those publishing some of these articles? You do have to ask yourself this question.

Oh and .. when your a disability assessor one question you can ask and get away with is this ..

"So when did you catch Down's Syndrome?"?!

Umm .. recall me banging on about how they are not qualified to assess disabilities and how they are not even general medical professionals not even to GP standard, let alone specialists?!

Well there you go .. another point I have been proven correct on.
