Victim of violent crime at work. Now in LCW!

Hi!

Are there any other victims of crime at work who have had their CICA pay-out years ago, (which take your IB out before they pay it), and are being forced into the LCW group, even though their PTSD is going to be made vastly worse by all this, and they were attacked at work?

And why, because I won't share my suicide plans, is the DWP maintaining I need to go to the LCW WRAG?

I'm now at the tribunal stage. I don't kno what to do. My menatl health is deteriorating so fast.

I got zero points, despite having a broken leg and still being on crutches when I arrived, (application went in in December, I interviewed end of August).

Looking at my ESA56, I have had the section 29 applied, but nothing else.

The decision was a terrible verbatim copy of the ESA85 assessor's statement. "Although she has stated that she has a suicidal plan, and she has not acted on it and has a coping strategy. She deals wiht corresondence, arranged and attends appointments, and interects with other people".

Complete with grammatical error. Is this a usual rationale? You haven't done it, so you won't do it? and what's more the ability to open letters and go to your orthopedic out-patient appointments, and chat to other mothers while your kids play in the park, (not that I've done any of that since I broke my leg), means you won't get depressed and more suicidal?

I'm so sad I can't see straight. Last time I left my place of permanent employment, it was in an ambulance. After the trial and conviction of the attacker, I never went back to work. (Although I was forced to go back to the place, for some CBT - that was awful).

You say that you are at the tribunal stage, how far through this are you? Have you had your appeal accepted? Do you have a date?

You will only be awarded the Support Group of ESA by showing exactly how and why you meet the specific descriptors. Have you had a look at our ESA guides so that you understand the requirements of these?

Not yet. I'm trying to digest the one about tribunal. Got my Mandatory Consideration back today. DWP helpline said I shouldn't waste more time asking them to review it, but gobstraight to the tribunal. Exactly 2 weeks after someone at the DWP took my distressed phone call and logged it as an MR. I just couldn't get the additional paperwork in on time, as I was being retriggered by the writing of it . I'm trying to read the docs. I wish I'd read them before I went fir my face to face.

It's just Maximus keep telling me I'm not that rare a case. So I was wondering if I'm not that rare, are they making other PTSD from violence at work sufferers go into these WRAGs. How are they coping? What do the activities look like. I have had my fill of courts. And by the time I'm there I'm going to be back on tons of meds and won't be able to do myself justice.

How do you find someone yo help you with this stuff?
