I don't have a link to hand but I believe that assessors must have an active registration with their professional body .

The sad fact is that people are suffering at the hands of these so called "medical professionals". Living with a long term illness is hard enough to cope with on a daily basis and being judged by someone who is essentially a typist with bad ethics and no manners is "The Standard".

Whatever choice you make with your decision, maybe knowing you are not alone and there are others in the same situation as yourself might give you a bit of willpower.

The DWP advisor who told me to complain also told me to write to my MP, and they are looking into the matter. I hope.
But why should we have to keep proving ourselves and battling for our rights to get the support we need to live without difficulty of illness and pain?
So sorry to hear they have ground you down Claire. Keep strong.

Is there any public copy of what these alleged HP's are trained to which specific DWP standard, as in the standard itself and compared to that of in the community GP's / Consultants / Surgeon's etc?

Has this angle ever actually been tested legally I wonder?
