Frankley I'm disgusted by the NAS (wait for the Censorship)

Stuffed

I contacted the NAS wanting help as an adult who has been diagnosed with aspergers and now 34.

After a shambles of an advice line that to be totally honest was a waste of time after over a week of trying to get in contact with 2 people doing one persons job.

City Road Address and yet there is no call queue system and two part time people doing one persons job- shows how little they really want non residential people.

I receive direct payments and with the NAS allegedly championing Aspergers

(it seems to get donations) I expected that I would get some support and advice, not fobbed off to Citizens Advice.

Unhappy with what frankly I think comes close to fraud collecting donations from people believing they are donating to Autism/Aspergers Charity and yet when I have a dire situation-they couldn't care less.

I contacted a certain professor and he kindly offered to pass my experiences onto Mark Lever for me and has been a most pleasant person to chat via email to.

I'd hoped that there was some misunderstanding and a professor contacting the chief exec would result in some further contact and assistance.

But no, I had my carer's assistance to visit citizens advice and now have a dreadfully slow solicitor involved- but at least they listened and provided help.

I have also asked my MP to help and been told that they would intervene on my behalf.

So the net result as a documented Adult with written Diagnosis of Asperger hoping for help from the NAS- Nothing and for me the most shocking part of this is the fact that those less able than myself will have nowhere to turn to.

So I've reported the NAS to the charities commission- doubt much will happen

I fully expect the thread to get deleted- but then again it will only confirm that the NAS want people's money and Adults in Care in the community are left with no Support.

Thank You for NOTHING

  • Personally I think it would be a complete waste of time as Professor Simon Baron cohen passed my comments to mark lever. The lady that contacted me never bothered to reply or follow up.

    If you think I'm cheesed off then your right and quite fairly as I begged for help and was fobbed off I think the NAS is a fraud.

    Collecting money on the back of aspergers and then no help at all, the NAS only cares for revenue streams from child services funded by councils or residential clients.

    I have verifiably been stitched up by ATOS and DWP who closed all support down without any letters or contact.

    It seems after 5 hours the fact I expected atos to stitch me so i recorded it and have key worker and social worker can't get it fixed it has been locked so job centre can't access it.

    So to recap I'm ill and both hospital consultant and gp will verify it has made me housebound and as yet no conclusive answers and further hospital tests.

    Benefits stopped and professionals who called on my behalf told it will stay that way- my crime was to record atos trying to stitch me up and them canceling appointment as further information had been received which was they read supporting consultants, carer and nhs notes.

    So when my landlord can take me to court for rent arrears, notice to quit and I could soon be homeless and hungry.

    Forgive me if I'm cheesed right off but i do not see the NAS saying here is an injustice that a person diagnosed with aspergers and medically verified as ill,Who phoned atos to say housebound and was told it was a refusal until they found I was recording call and suddenly bother to read supplied information and write to cancel appointment.

    Said to dwp they can home visit but i will video it (because otherwise it would be a fictional assessment as people i know have found out)

    Result they were never going to return my entitlement.

    So social worker/keyworker spent 5 hours trying to get it sorted or a crisis loan and got nowhere.

    Moral of the story, don't record call and get stitched and appeal, record it and dwp will do upmost to make you homeless.

    So there you have the situation is real, my keyworker etc can be verified as genuine nhs staff.

    I'm not looking for kind words or thinking anyone will help me with money-I'm looking for

    1) how to avoid being homeless as £300 rent not being paid and landlord has obligations.

    2)food

    3) how I can appeal Dwp who have made it clear standing up and genuinely expecting fair treatment account locked and refusing recording any assessment as they are required! Parliament have stated are not fit for purpose and as a foi request states it is your right to a recorded assessment.

    The call centre rely on unrecorded calls to manipulate vulnerable,dwp don't want recorded assessments as is a right- as it exposes the sham cuts.

    DWP have made it clear that they will be as difficult as possible and tribunal not immediate.

    There is an independant adjudicator that can look at it, but that does not solve immediate problems.  

    That just about covers it
