FINALLY THE 20 METRE RULE!

Jesus H. Christ?!

It's only been around for fucking years and years and I've blogged about it for years and years, six to be precise.

The Metro Newspaper, link below, asks ..

How far will twenty metres get you?
From your front door to your nearest bus stop? - Metro

In case you missed me harping on about it out you don't know .. according to the DWP and fit a very long time if you can get twenty metres your fit enough to work.

Yeah .. I got to a bus, got on a bus and bailed off the bus in three stops then thought I was having a heart attack after 100 metres.

The irony of that story is I was trying to get to a GP that was too far away and that was only to register!!

Now I was going there about this inability I have to do anything or go anywhere. The chest pain, heart palpitations, lack of energy, irritations with skin touching things, anxiety and bunch of other stuff down to the fact I'm having difficulty with magnesium uptake.

I need to do stuff.

I need to work!

When I first was told about this rule years ago I thought it was some kind of sick joke. I told them that they must be wrong. I did that there is no reality where getting twenty metres means you go do hundreds in the course of a five day working week. I also pointed out exactly what they said in the Metro, again looking like it was pulled from here, in that bus stops are more than twenty metres from most people's houses.

Fuck me if your high up in a tower block it might be more than twenty metres to the bloody ground?!

It, of course, made me realise that they could not be trusted with people with disabilities.

I tried to reason with the fact that maybe the rule existed for conditions that had not been diagnosed yet? Or obscure conditions? It was still an unfair rule though.

But this report states that the rule is unfair for sufferers of Multiple Sclerosis?! Jesus! This is a terrible condition and one that I would not want and a friend of an old friend died from this eventually. Irish woman called .. hmm what was her name?!

All this is like one big hate crime towards people with disabilities .. it really is .. if you think about it ..

Someone coming along and taking something from someone disabled and then kicking them while they are down? Getting others to label them freeloaders, others beating them to death .. I even saw a report about one guy who was prosecuted for urinating on a homeless man! Can we expect stories  that next? All because most of the country is really shit at basic maths and do not realise that a hundred times the money spent on disabled people is wasted by the government every year? People being paid for positions where they are then told to do nothing or as little as they can to save money? Salaries of hundreds of thousands every years, cars, perks and God knows what else?

Oh I guess Doctors are OK in case you need them to save your life? Does not matter if the lives before you died, eh? As long as they save yours when it comes around to you?

And when all other lures, traps and tricks fail you always have this 20 meter rule to fall back on and the HMCTS to sit their and say that is is OK for the government and DWP to treat disabled people in an inhumane manner because that is the law now? Lol.

They just be falling back on this very old rule to refuse disabled people help?

Funny as this is reported now, probably will get blamed on the Tories by the usual suspects but I'm afraid this existed while Tony Blair was Prime Minister.

In fact it might have existed since the seventies for all I know?

I would be willing to bet that Serco bought this in as a trick to save money from day one?

I also see Serco finally get mentioned in a video by Brian Gerrish which I posted in a recent blog post.

Good God I hate this country.

I do sometimes wonder if we have just become blind to it and that immigrants that come here think the UK is wonderful. Eventually realise that we have become blind to? Realising that this in power are evil lying bastards and that when they are being nice it is just a pandering tactic to fool people?

Then get angry and want to make to their own rules and blow shit up?!

Well maybe not all of them but they do get radicalised here as children.

When you have a lying and dishonest government behaving the way they do towards their own vulnerable people is it any wonder?!

You know I often put terms in my tagging like 'DWP failures' and I hate using the latter word because that suggests it is an honest mistake.

The problem is I have known all along that these are all deliberate intentions. The lies come and tricks come about because they fear a backlash from people with some compassion. They also do not want to look like the evil bastards that they all are .. not to the country or the rest of the world and so they start with a lie, then there is another and then another after that and so it goes on.

Yeah well I think now after a only two or three decades that the lying does not work .. does it now?!

Time to stop new before it is too late.

THE DAY OF THE TRIANGLES

Well that is weird.

For a long time now I have expected to come across others on my blog hat have been doing the exact same things that I have been doing, or at least something similar. They may have been recording, keeping documents and categorising everything and them publishing it?

They may have concentrated on one or two things or may have been as suspicious as me and suspected everyone and recorded absolutely everyone?

A little while ago I had one comment on one of my blogs and now I have had a second ... though I have wondered if it might turn out to be the same one but as it was on blogs of different hosts then I tend to think they are different people.

What I also found of interest is that in their comments they also stated that it was funny that certain ... let us say 'organisations' are not actively or doing more than they are to go after the DWP, Capita, Maximus, Atos and their staff for crimes committed?

His blog address is here ...

http://www.phobosanddeimos.net/the-dwp-and-maximus-no-esa50-fraud/

As well as mentioning DPAC, who I am familiar with via Facebook, he also mentioned Black Triangle as yet another in a long list of organisations who are supposed to be looking out for disabled people, take donations and such and yet have done very little during all this crap for the past 7 years it has been going on.

Now you would have thought that all these organisations, DPAC, Black Triangle and even the Citizen's Advice Bureau would have realised there was some cheating going on when it started. As I stated that for me was 7 or 8 years ago.

You would have thought that when it started, which may have been further back than when I first noticed, that they would have gone to the media over all this? For me it is a full gone conclusion.

Now if they had done that then they must have surely kept going back to the media time after time after time?

I certainly have not heard very much other than the odd little report somewhere.

Now if they ha done this they must have also realised something else at some point .. that the mainstream news media is biased, paid off or at least avoiding these stories for one reason or another.

Only the fact is that all they talk about, and love to, in the news is how much debt the nation is in. But wait a minute ... included in the subject of what the DWP is doing is the fact that all these ombudsmen, governing, bodies, charities and watchdogs of which their are literally dozens and dozens ... are not doing anything?

These organisations do not run for free and nor do they run on fresh air!

What makes this worse by a factor of a hundred is that a large percentage of the British public probably think that the vulnerable sections of society are being cared for? Some might even think that these vulnerable sections of society actually have things quite good?

I certainly know that some thought that about me and since changed their minds, seeing what I have had to go through and having relatives being put through the same nightmare scenarios.

Here is the link to Black Triangle...

http://blacktrianglecampaign.org/

One wonders when this will all end and I have no doubts at all that many people have had horrendous lives for the past 7 years, I know I have.

I am also interested and worried now to see the figures for the number of suicides that have come about to save money. Everyone has always complained about money being more important that human lives, unless there is a chance labelled 'not politically correct' that is, and this seems like the absolutely best example there is.

One can only hope.

So now there are three of us with our own data and recordings?

Hmm the power of three.

Collectively we must have plenty of dynamite, especially as mine tipped over 100GB some time ago now and I just stopped counting.

A DIFFERENT BOW

In the past weeks I have experienced a lot. I have posted a lot. But not all...YET.

What started as a simple single salvo against me with the DWP going after an assessment of me that I cannot get to it got worse.

Let us not beat around the bush here and as I have now explained to several surprised Citizen's Advice advisors and several medical professionals that … well me and the DWP have a history and … well, they do not like me.

I told them I have absolutely no doubt that they have waited a long time to do this.

We have been through this together so often it is simply ludicrous and they have even admitted as much,, by trying to say that I failed to attend five assessments only recently. Three of those assessments were from about five years ago so … they fucking know only too well what the situation is. There were not five assessments recently and was only just one. One. That's it. But they are trying to twist it and it wont work, I am ahead of them on that.

So … they are making it damned obvious.

They also think that they will catch me out .. they wont.

I think they also made their minds up about my actions of the past couple years and I can tell you they convinced themselves of something that simply is not true. Bad call.

Then of course my rent payments got automatically cancelled and the council were vague and uninformative as well as 90% unresponsive to my attempts at correspondence. Three emails, five phone-calls within the buildings phone network cut off for being too busy, two phone-calls from my mobile and two visits into their offices. To say this was above and beyond the call of duty but four weeks into informing them I was not working they then tell me that they were missing my bank statements?!

I saw this as an attempt to miss a rent payment so that my landlord kicked me out. Even my landlord saw it as this, a few years back he would have said no, and blamed my blogging about them.

It gets better still when I get first a letter from the appeals court telling me about my appeal against my Incapacity Benefit being stopped and then another one telling me about my Personal Independent Payments being stopped … wait, what? No it's not. It was my Incapacity benefit and only that. Except I was very serious about this … faux pas. I told them I was suspicious too!

Four days later I get a letter from the DWP having not been content with my Incapacity Benefit and my Housing Benefit but asking me for an assessment for my Personal Independent Payments?!

Two problems with this … one is that they damn well know that I am already going to court against them for not travelling 7 miles and stopping my benefits.

Secondly … umm well how is it that the faux pas was made that looked like they were going after my remaining PIP benefit and then … they announced they were going after my PIP benefit?!

That not enough for you?! Alrighty then …

I am told to put in a claim for ESA in a new application and the local Jobcentre refuse to take it but Citizen's Advice assumed I had handed this in. When I explained to Cab what had happened they told me that the Jobcentre was WRONG and told me to post it, so I did. Via recorded delivery as I do not trust them. The scan of the receipt with their postcode on it is at the bottom.

I have a load of these recorded delivery receipts and even have one to MI5!

Today I attended my third meeting with a Citizen's Advice advisor and once again a different person and she looked up my file and asked what was happening with my ESA application. “I don't know” I said and she then looked confused. She then checked the dates on the screen before I told her that they initially refused to take it at the Jobcentre but I posted it when I had the second meeting.

“You should have heard something by now” she said and picked up the phone to ring them.

I had also told her about my short term memory condition and that all this is too much for me to keep on top of things. They know about my short term memory issues too, the DWP, and am sure they are playing towards that weakness of mine. They do love their deadlines.

She was shocked further when I told her I had experienced hundreds of blackouts and then a full on seizure just prior to the attempt on my Incapacity Benefit and that I had then been zoomed around in no time and had already had a Neurology appointment and was then rushed to a quick scan that I had had two days before, the results were being rushed and that I had a Royal free Hospital appointment the following Saturday and then another appointment in February that I … think … may be brought forwards?

I explained that epilepsy was ruled out as I had predicted and that left me with a brain tumour, narcolepsy or something else I had not managed to track down in my research.

I explained how the staff at Chase Farm Hospital know there is a picture of a new building being built but that they do not trust the NHS and keep looking over the fence at Chase Farm Hospital every now and then to see if they start looking like private flats they are going to sell off?!

I explained at how I had a meeting with a Doctor at North Middlesex Hospital who reacted with utter shock when I told him everything that the DWP had done in the space of just 6 weeks. I then explained that the Doctor was even more shocked when I told him about the MRI on my head and why I had, had it. I explained that the Doctor verbally said “What the hell are these public services doing?!” and that no Doctor in the land would refuse to back me up against the DWP, especially with my medical record.

I also explained the loss of my legs, a symptom I was not aware of that can be permanent and caused by the DWP which is supposed to be illegal. I also explained about the anxiety and the lengths that anxiety also very recently made me go to cope.

That is the loss of the use of my legs that can happen again and can become permanent putting me in a wheelchair for the rest of my life and that same anxiety causing fear so bad you cannot control that you want the strongest pills possible and start self harming to cope.

That is all in the space of about six weeks.

As the Doctor I spoke to said they are blanket bombing disabled people to see if something sticks and even if its only for a couple of months they are saving money.

This was a deliberate plan by George Osborne just ass I predicted and basically he just got called out on by Nick Clegg by stating that George Osborne sis not care about human life and saw the entire welfare state as a bottomless pit to pay they debts his fecking cronies made in the first instance.

I fecking called it on here and I am … almost ready to rest my case.

Except I have two court cases to work through first both involving the DWP.

That means I get not one but two chances to see if that one single industry is as corrupt as the rest of it and all paid off to ignore the law too, without a care for human suffering along with it?

Wow. Who would have thought? Two chances in quick succession?

I have waited a bloody long time and planned a bloody long time for this … I just did not expect a fecking return of the anxiety attacks, loss of feeling of legs with it, self harming and added to that an increase in blackouts and a full on seizure that would lead to some rushed appointments and scans?!

I do often feel like I was destined for this but if so they could have left out the effing anxiety!

I am almost like a crash test dummy and I bloody well hope that after all this it was actually all for something?!

For those that have been on here a long time and looked up the different public services I have posted about and got stuff on up until two years ago ...

... for the rest ... do you think this one little picture is all that I have?

Umm ... NO. LMAO!

Oh and if you think that it just so happens that all this stuff is just mistakes, even after Doctor and Nurses said what they did? Yeah, well really? All mistakes? Genuine mistakes?

Well then I suggest that you might want to ask as your paying for all these debacles with your taxes that where in the world do they employ all these people?

Idiots Agency Are Us?!

Hey, its your money. If you do not mind it all being wasted on idiots, mistakes, harassment of the disabled and two departments for every one benefit then who I am to explain anything to you?

THE COURT WILL BE IN SESSION

Oh .. my .. God!

I simply cannot believe how things go sometimes and how little disregard others can have, LOL.

In between days of doing a series of chores for someone else I should be doing that I want and need to be doing but no.

I have been out on my bike twice. The first time to get my rent, get a large envelope and some tobacco and return home to package some stuff up into the large envelope and mete my landlord to pay him.

I was supposed to be visited by my mother this afternoon too and then my brother, or one of them, texts me and asks if we can go over to try on some black suits we are having made for an upcoming wedding. Of course as is usual for me I forgot when we were having the measurements taken that this wedding is in August. Good chance of it being very warm and very humid, which I do not do well in. I am always in a vest and shorts in the warmer months.

Of course there are the blackouts, the recent seizure and the shutting down of my thigh muscles as well as the anxiety attacks. Oh did I mention about looking after animals every other day for five weeks?

Oh and the neurology appointment.

I forgot to get some other shopping while out. Was not sure I had enough money as I ended up with two packages to be sent via recorded delivery … to a court … in Bradford!

Out I go again on my bike after having the landlord get his rent, to an ATM before zooming back to a Post Office to send off my packages. Text asking me if picking me up is still OK and I say that I think it is but do not know where our mother has got to, typical.

Cycling down to the ATM I am checking the cars going towards my house, get to the ATM no calls to phone asking where I am, back to Post Office and then back home. No mother here waiting.

So then?

While I am waiting.

This is the post I would not type out until I had sent off the packages. The packages contained copies of evidence, Doctor's letters, hospital letters along with a run down about what has happened to me recently health wise. A report about the blatant disregard of the public services about how miserable and painful they make peoples lives. All the reports including the NHS lying and to cap it all off a DVD.

I also explain what has happened with my help.

You see this is about the Citizen's Advice Bureau and what happened when I attended my meting with them. To cut a meeting over an hour long to a brief minimum they filled in the form for me and compiled an appeals letter to the court, HMCTS (Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Service) SSCS, do not know what the latter acronym stands for.

While there a guy who was Lithuanian helped me and I said “Privet” to him and he looked surprised and said “Oh so you speak Russian?” to which I told him no but that I had a friend years ago from St Petersburg, his name was Edvard and I attended university with him.

We touched on a couple of things and he showed he was not naïve by saying “yes-yes-yes” a couple of times in the hour when I corrected him and said that the DWP lie.

He was surprised at how I had been treated, that I was receiving Incapacity Benefit and that they had just cancelled it like that. I also showed him something … on the latest letter I received from the DWP they stated that I had been asked four previous times to attend an assessment. I told him this was a lie and that they were supposed to come to my home for a Home Visit four times but failed to show up each time. I told him I had the letters and he was shocked.

It turned out some things about me I never thought about were relevant with the argument and which I did not think about when the DWP called me, a person with serious memory problems.

Well they will find out now.

The court service will also find out a few more things from me and that is a breakdown of the fact I have been lied to by the NHS for a decade. Not all the time and most of them probably did not realise the extent to which they were being used and why. One did. When she did with my help she walked in one morning announced to five stunned staff she had, had enough of the NHS, was retiring effective immediately, turned around and walked back out the door. The NHS were forced to put stand ins in place until they could unload the patients registered to other clinics.

I did not rust them and decided to pick my own. I chose … unwisely.

But then I do not think it would make much difference as the lies and cheating go on everywhere and they wont accept they are being used because after all they are Doctors. The most intelligent beings on Earth. No one could possibly manipulate and fool them? They certainly cannot take it when a lowly put of work patient manages to put all the pieces together and the hows and whys. Oh no-no-no.

Sorry but being unemployed does not mean your brain-dead or in any way unintelligent and nor does it mean that your life is worth less than others. That is the lesson I have been slowly teaching and telling everyone.

That is when I have the time, manage to get something to tell, manage to remember and all hell is not breaking loose while the wolves growl with bared teeth at my door.

Oh I got a call from my mother who was clearly at home and after 4pm when I am being picked up to try a suit on at 6pm. That ain't happening, lol.

Could have been a bit tricky there as she had come across an old post of mine posting about when I was homeless back when I was fifteen. Ooh. Lol. That was a bloody old post.

I had fallen out with my father .. well had a fight in reality and for some time wanted to live with my mother but that the guy she was involved with was none too keen. Not sure he would have been any keener if it were has own actual children. Probably why they have never spoken to him most of their lives. I was a teenager the last time I saw any of them and I am 47 now.

So I get to continue on umm typing? Well I can do something .. if I can think of it.

Yes so I have been helped by the Citizen's Advice and am going back to the court tribunal I loathed the last time around. Did not ask me the right questions and asked a very odd one. Like everyone else missed that I had Fibromyalgia and asked me if I could get to the Morrisons across the road?! I said “Well I got here didn't I? Considerably further than across the road, but in pain.

You see before you start it is set up as a cheat.

Something that idiot for that organisation that emailed recently clearly misses altogether by suggesting that the DWP can be sympathetic? LOLOLOLOLOL! Bloody .. hilarious! I simply could not believe my eyes when I read that email from that 'Peter' fellow. I thought he was joking and it was not done very well? Lol. The DWP? Sympathetic?

Ooh I never thought, maybe he is not British and like the Lithuanian came here from a country where the welfare system actually gives a crap about human lives? Possible I s'pose?

I shall have to try and remember to phone up and ask for a barrister on the day of the tribunal! Must do that immediately when the letter arrives with the court date.

Hmm in my complaining about the waste of taxpayers money and the way that the new welfare system was not being improved but instead royally fucked up I repeatedly said that they stated in the beginning that there would only be two benefits. I explained this to a friend recently who knew someone who was only getting one and thought that you could only get one. Uh-uh.

Suddenly this new one I never heard of, now attacking me, pops up out of nowhere. They spoke recently … sorry, stated a lie recently that they had asked me five times for an assessment but that I refused and yet I have asked them a dozen times or more over five years why they keep writing to me.

Answering why I cannot travel as I suffer from a disability is a damn site easier than asking why they keep contacting me. Yet I have told them about my disabilities very, very literally dozens of times, so that means they are deaf, dumb and blind and clearly proved over and over again they know nothing at all about file management. Or even computer systems or the way they store files … hey? I could teach them for a fee? Their doomed souls! Lol.

So then their seems to be some respite? The guy at the Citizen's Advice told me that the local council will continue to pay my rent so no homelessness for at least a couple more months.

Hmm I just thought of a new question … what happens in the case where people appeal and they get nothing at all? Surely they cannot refuse all money? He said that there are two rates of Employments Support Allowance, one is the work relayed one I had read about which is around £70 per week. One is the … umm incapacitated one which is around £100 per week.

Funny that as exactly a decade apart and forgetting the seven years they unfairly took disability away from me with the NHS' quite deliberate help …

I have gone from getting £130 per week to about £80 per week on disability.

I will go from £120 per week on IB to either £100 or £70 per week on ESA.

Forget any stupid, nonsensical and biased unworkable amoral feelings a visitor might have for a moment and think about it? What are the percentages in each case? £50 from £130 is a bloody massive percentage. £120 to £100 might well be smaller but that is still added on to that already lost on the other. So you would have lost £70 per week. £100 per week if you are put on the lower rate. Off the top of my head 30 to 40 percent?

Then remember how this is breadline money we are talking about here, not disposable income per se and then remember what we were all told. 'We are all in it together' even though the poorer, more vulnerable and disabled were not responsible for the risks being taken with other people's money. Christ almighty none of us really even knew it was going on. But where they did it and his it now it is a bunch of people on the breadline that is being forced to pay it.

Life is good at the top and in Politics and Banking is it not?

Ooh unless your one of those bank staff that has ended up being laid off, fired or made redundant because of the risks being taken.

Even my local bank is like a ghost town and the statement of a 'skeleton crew' does not even do it proper justice. A branch that could house over a dozen staff has about three or four most days. Large empty spaces in the branch every time I go in there.

There must be a hell of a lot of very, very bitter ex-banking staff out there in the wilds? I wonder if they have been feeling the cold touch of the DWP during that time and found out what it is like?

Hmmm I never though of that before. There must have been a lot of people lost their jobs and even more again changed their jobs after a brief period on being jobless? That must have continued on over the last 5 years and must continue on for at least another 5 years?

There is going to be a hell of a lot of people see the dark underbelly of the political spectrum after being shown how worthless your made to feel when unlucky enough to be without work?

Anyhoo I thought it would be a good idea to get the paperowrk from the Citizen's Advice up here and I have sent a lot to the Court regarding exactly what I have been up to for many years .. and that if anyone thinks I have been lax the last few years … they will be proved very, very .. wrong.

Hmm if they are a genuine court I wonder if they will do a reverse of what they did last time and make the DWP pay me the £40,000 I have been missing and the loss of £4,400 I got from being defrauded and beaten by bailiffs because of it? They made me pay back £750 when they ruled me as being wrong!

I have, of course, pointed this out to them, lol.
