Stressed with PIP Interview

Skybird

I had my PIP Interview and the guy doing it was a Physiotherapist who had no clue about mental health issues at all.

Although I can physically do a lot of the assessment criteria but I need support, encouragement and/or reminding to do some of those things and he just basically wrote those things off because I am physically capable of doing so.

I was reduced to tears halfway through the interview and the guy just carried on with his domineering and aggressive approach over me.

  • Unfortunately, as the Careless campaign has identified, this is the route the Government has decided to take. They wont count psychological barriers such as needing prompting as a PIP need.

    NAS, is there any way of providing other kinds of self support meantime, as it is clear a lot of people on the spectrum are going to suffer from this callous government (which may well not change next May).  This might be designing simple day to day tables that could be used to self-help, OK aren't there enough of these already, but ones that meet the current need.

    It is tragic too that the money being saved by these exclusions could have been recovered in other ways such as adequately pursuing repayment of MP's expenses scams, or making companies that evade tax pay up. The Government seems very good at bullying the weak and vulnerable, but predictably coy about standing up to anyone with clout.

    So in the face of hard line indifference from the Job Centre Plus gestapo, could NAS look at alternative ways of helping people.
