Hi Phrank
Also been following your thread. I can only echo what Alison has posted. I had an assessor contradicting himself and claiming he had "evidence" to prove I don't have issues when dealing f2f with people. I started losing my temper with him when he refused to allow me to record the assessment, despite organising this with Capita weeks beforehand. I get nervous of strangers but I tried to deal with the assessment as best as I could, yet because of this he said this was "evidence" I never had issues dealing with people. He also claimed I speak to my neighbours and friends, daily either over the fence or on the telephone. He asked me if I play games on my computer and when I said no, he put down I have a good use of the internet and play games.
My OH deals with PTSD and mental health and games on phones and tablets are actually used as part of the therapy, yet this seems like a negative to PIP.
I had to MR an ESA claim because, well long story about lies told by Atos about an assessment being missed. I didn't get anywhere at MR - but I won it back at tribunal.
Anyhow, we are all behind you and I know it's frustrating, infuriating and makes me, at least bloomin' angry reading utter lies from someone who isn't even aware of what your condition is, (my "healthcare professional" had no idea what my autoimmune disease was and said it gives me gritty eyes. As this guy was a paramedic, I wouldn't be so sure he would know how to save my life!)
I fear I may get zero points because I have questioned his report before the DM has made a decision, but I will MR and tribunal if I have to.
As they say....keep taking the tablets!
