Since When is a physio a doctor? When he's an ESA Assessor

Morning KillerQueen I hope you are feeling a bit more settled today. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you have had this experience. 

I too had a rough time going through the assessment and appeal process. I didn't get through it the first time round and couldn't face any of it for quite a long time after that. 

But I was encouraged and persuaded to have another go about a year later and have been on ESA and Pip since for which I am very grateful.

yep, not much I can do about it. The friend who went with me to both assessments is older, just above retirement age, 69 next birthday. It turns out she knew the nurse assessor Sally her name is, apparently they both went to the same church at one point. Cindy was trying to reassure me that Sally is a good Christian lady, I know my friend Cindy  is, even tho I'm fiercely Pagan. So if this Sally is a good Christian why did she lie about me seeing a doctor, Cindy is perhaps a little naiive , not having had a WCA herself. When you read the Bible , is it any wonder some Christians seem confused all the rape, beating, slavery contained within it, and yet us Pagans are supposedly "savage" . iF OTHERS WANT TO BE cHRISTIANS i'VE NO QUALMS  with that, but if there was only Christianity and athiesm , I think many Christians I've met are more likely to turn me athiest!! Sorry I didn't mean this to turn into a rant about religion.
How can a WCA assessor be a Christian , what I thought were "Christian values" seem to conflict with her job. I'm sure most Christians are decent enough people. 

Sorry just I've Aspergers , also anxiety and depression, and can have panic attacks . I had an American friend ask if I was OK last night as she's said I've posted more than usual newspaper website pieces about rape and the grooming gangs than I usually do. I've not been diagnosed as such, and I'm not sure how to get a diagnosis, but I did an online PTSD questionnaire and scored 18/22, it could be that medical has made me feel a crock of ***, but that's not the only thing. I'm managing financially atm, it's just if I have to go onto assessment rate even if it's temporary, I'm going to get behind with bills. I've only got a car as I've got my mum's old one, and I think the worry is leading me to drink more, but I don't want to be like this, and sometimes maybe I worry about events in advance. I worked for a time last year under ESA permitted work rules, tho my manager was a bully, bad for an organisation that looks after learning disabled people, including people with varying degrees of autism/AS.     I know last appeal I submitted in 2012 the DWP  by their own admission lost the paperwork, and it wasn't until 2014/15, and the court wasn't going to allow it as my appeal was late, tho they accepted it when I proved I lodged my appeal request in the allowed time. I could really do without the possible stress of having to go to appeal. I know I don't generally answer my door unless Im expecting visitors or a delivery, times I've missed the post(wo)man as thjey've something I need to sign for, sometimes I end up chasing them in the street when I realised I've missed an item, usually it;s a frind sending me something for my birthday or Yule/Christmas. I did read if you can use a computer and do online shopping. I usually get an Asda order every so often, tho if I forget something I have to go to local Tesco store, or maybe further afield to Morrisons , if I do have to go to a supermarket in person I try and go at quieter times I can't always take a friend with me, and online shopping DWP must think you're good with computers and so are able to work in an office, the very environment that would drive me nuts. HOusework I did get a little behind as had a cold come on nearly 2 weeks ago, could never quite grasp housework as a kid, I do try and do it little and often I think there's a certain level of messiness I'll allow, before I think I must clean up , tho there are places far worse than mine. OH yes I was also asked about qualifications maybe I should've said "No I'm fick" (deliberately spelled wrong), maybe this physio thought I can't be that disabled if I can pass 3 O levels and CSEs, tho maybe he doesn't seem to realise a learning difficulty is not the same as a learning disability, tho I've met some with L Dis who are quite intelligent. I wonder would I have done better with education if I didn't have a L diff. Perhaps he thinks anyone witn Aspergers must be fick, tho it just means we're not stupid, but maybe take in and process information differently to the way it was taught in schools.
