PIP Nightmare

Hi All, just been listening to the Westminster Hour with Cheryl Gillan, the ex Conservative Minister among the guests.

My point is when the Autism Bill was fighting its way through Parliament there was seldom a news bulletin were Cheryl Gillan was not in the forefront of the pressure on the Government to treat people on the Autism Spectrum with some understanding.

Since the onset of the PIP debacle which has caused more worry and profound suicidal feelings to people on the Spectrum not a word in support or protest at the way the Government and associated companies ie ATOS and Capita have run roughshod over peoples feelings and emotions.

Where has she gone? What dialogue has she had with the Directors of our Society over the PIP disaster? If not why not and if not are we all waiting for the day when another ex Minister has stirred the pool in the hope of recognition.

  • I am certainly not a fan of the current government, Or how the government is treating those with disabilities in reference to going back to work...

    But i just wanted to say i was assesed for PIP. I was assesed and treated fairly, given PIP for 2-3 years after which time i will be re assesed. 

    I told them at my worst i didnt get out of bed and struggled to feed myself and they correctly judged i was nowhere near being ready to return to work following my breakdown. 

    I just wanted to say some people are treated fairly under the current system.
