I had a very strange encounter with DWP yesterday. Brother is on PIP (separate thread) and ESA. Has had assessments for both in the last couple of months. Had a call yesterday from DWP as I'm listed as his representative along the lines of
'Hello, we're just calling to let you know that Stuart has only got 9 points so he's going to lose his disability premium.'
I replied 'oh no he's not, I'm not having that!'
Stunned silence 'beg pardon?' '
I said 'i'm not having that mate, if he hasn't got at least the same as his last assessment then the assessor has lied because we both know they're incentivised to lie don't we? we've had 3 assessments in this house in the last couple of months, pip assessment which i recorded, assessor lied, 2nd pip assessment which i recorded, assessor lied, this esa assessment, if he isn't on at least the same points as last time the assessor has lied. I have the recording, i just haven't had the chance to transcribe it yet. I was only talking to our MP yesterday, he's going to be sick of me but he's interested in the problems we've had with the assessments.' 'Don't phone him just yet, leave it with me and i'll get back to you.'
'ok, no problem, thanks'
8 minutes later
'Hi DWP again, really sorry but i've made a mistake. He's going to be staying on exactly the same. sorry for the confusion, it was my fault.'
'no, that's fine. Thanks for sorting it out so quickly, have a good day.'
'thanks for being so understanding.'

You couldn't make it up could you? :angry:
