DLA to PIP confusion

I am still waiting for PIP to acquire the DLA information available to them, even though there is statement from the PIP team, they have, and there are none. And I therefore need to attend a medical. I have refused this, due to DLA information to the contrary about the request for my previous record and reason for entitlement.

One other interesting fact given to me by PIP. Does indeed beg more investigation by those more capable than myself.

When I enquired as to the legality of the lifetime or indefinitely awarded claims. I was assured that this relates to the DLA claim being redundant by the PIP process being pursued? There reasoning, and I did question this. Was purely the fact that DLA being a previous entitlement. Regardless of whether the PIP are under the DWP banner. That the lifetime or indefinitely awarded claims are irrelevant as PIP WILL NOT be recognising them from past awards.

Additionally claiming as my previously mentioned claimed, requiring no medical to be entitled support group in ESA, my blue badge, my disabled rail discount, and free bus pass. Were all things considered untenable as evidence.

Since I refused to attend a medical on the basis I was incapable of guaranteed adherence or attendance. Again due to the accepted parts within my DLA. All being of a mental illness area of investigation. My physical disabilities could not be used in the refusal to attend. With it being accepted, but under a war pension.

The fact that no one from PIP has contacted me. My partner /carer leaving me has temporarily meant that I have to reapply for my severe disabled title until the local councils carer Dept acknowledges and confirms that the carers allowances were suspended at my requests in June of this year. But my ex not advising she left me and stopped caring in April. Only leaving after I demanding she left after nearly 6 months waiting for her to find somewhere else. To be presently (and without care) potentially looking down the barrell of a very large gun. And I am not talking handheld firearms.

Another reason why I am penning this. As I found a letter from the carers Dept asking my partner for confirmation?! As it does beg the question at how easy is it to defraud. And that the cared for, dont appear to be heard?

I, have had to investigate this alone. Obviously due to my conditions. It has been a tortured path. Of both misunderstanding and delay, which I really am struggling with. My meds combined ensure a certain amount of extra time for dealing with the important issues I now face. With limited mobility and flexibility, and certainly due to the councils social care opinion. That my son, taking a very intensive computer networks course, combined with being diagnosed with ADHD, it seems he hasn't grown out of. Should now be caring for me, for free.

The people who can help, do not seem to be trained in the areas of psychological understanding pertaining to Aspergers ADHD and autistic spectrum conditions. And what I thought I had been diagnosed with, now appears to be just severe ADHD from birth.

Dealing with all of this has been hell. I have due to my conditions and capacity to travel after dvla medical team decided it was legal to revoke my licence during a re newed medical exemption. To a date just before the first exemption certificate was received after my in confidence and private initial consultation review was sent by mistake. And not checking the first exemption certificate was backdated to nearly a year before Feb 14. By default denying me appeal. And due to the fact I was accused of abusing cannibis. Guilt without trial. Due to refusal to attend an illicit drug's test which incidentally was not testing for cannibis anyway?

Yet due to the insistence and wording. I am guilty for refusing to attend a test for everything else other than? 2 years without a licence. My then car Impounded. The letter from dvla on revocation dated the 31st of July. The day before operation crossbow finished, and the day I was advised that I was being charged with driving while revoked. Without valid insurance tax etc, even though technically I was. Not being given the correct notice to avoid this.

I have still not been asked to attend court or had advice of any ruling in my absence. Yet I am forced to accept the label of cannibis abuse. Just because the medical team were not satisfied with my clinical consultant exemption. And ignoring the very basic. Gov guidelines. Decided to hound me for more information about my conditions, that I never even had to advise them of.

In the end. Just doing illegally, what they couldn't through a legally binding process. And put the word cannibis in the title for reason revocation took place. Without any evidence to corroborate the accusations. And still refusing a SAR providing evidence they were not testing for cannibis anyway!

I hate asking for help. But after nearly 5 years I am in serious need of advice. My back injury now being raised from chronic to severe. And essentially a prisoner in my own home a majority of the time.

Not having a carer has meant that my physical disabilities are gradually adding to the complexity of my mental health problems.

My short term memory issues, gauranteed to ensure prolonged and possibly even denied benefits to which I am entitled and rely upon heavily.

Sorry for the war and peace. I do tend to write as I speak. So all information related is available. But not necessarily reflecting any evidence of normal order.

Well Gordon, as explained in the original text. I had contacted DLA who are waiting for the pip team to request it. Presently, no attempt whatsoever has been made in an effort from pip to gain the evidence available, and awaiting transfer to them.

And if I travel to the medical centre by the medium of public transport. Especially bus. I have been told categorically (in the past) the fact I attended. Even if I could not carry out any other test they may require. Walking up a steep hill (remember my physical disabilities are not being taken into account) I would have caused myself excruciating pain and discomfort, possibly being in a position whereby I am unsafe and too unstable to return home without assistance. And even if I was to have a taxi take me there and back. A medical to ascertain my ability would then be redundant.

Why do people naturally assume that I am being unreasonable? I would have thought that explaining as I did, the obstacles I face. Should have gained a slightly different form of reply.
