On hold to make dr's appointment at 8:30 on a Monday morning.

An iconic pairing.

@DJDarren I get Phil to ring on my behalf (My doctors surgery is really crap with deaf accessibility) and they will give me an appointment wayyyyyyyy down the line......or, I can walk to the surgery, ask for an appointment directly and can generally see a doctor the same day.

Make it make sense?!

ChrisMayLA6, to disability
@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us avatar

Across the political Right, the narrative is that disability benefits (primarily Personal Independence Payments; PIPs) are too easy to get & are often paid to the 'undeserving'... however, in reality nearly half of applicants are rejected, rising to over two thirds for endometriosis (a gendered dimension I'll leave you to ponder), but with high rates of rejections over-turned on appeal (often with the same evidence).

More Tory lies, callousness & inhumanity

@ChrisMayLA6 it's a deliberately nasty and dehumanising procedure, a lot of applicants, myself included, are asked if we have tried to take our own lives or why we have not tried to take our own lives!

That's only a tiny part of the whole horrible process.

@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party avatar

@sufferforme @ChrisMayLA6 also by outsourcing the government are shielding themselves from direct blame.... "Oh, it was ATOS/Capita doing that and not us"....

ItsThatDeafGuy,
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party avatar

@ChrisMayLA6 @sufferforme thank you for the link. The application is also written in a certain way as to mislead, the applicant needs evidence to back up every single issue which the government/ATOS/Capita (or whatever the latter refer themselves as today) know is hard to do. My own background is within law so I know how to put cases together accumulating all specific case law and evidence in the right sequence, cross referencing etc. A person-on-the-street does not have this skill, and the government are counting in that.

Applicants are able to record the assessment as long as it's on tapes, yes, tapes and that two identical recordings are made. Again making it difficult for people to do this as cassettes and recording equipment is hard to come by. I recommend doing this though as it gives the DWP a lot less wiggle room.

Applicants need to ask for the assessor's notes in writing from the DWP immediately after the assessment is over. Also make a note of the assessor's name as well then the applicant can check whether the assessor has the correct medical background/training to correctly makes decisions (Clue: 9 out of 10 don't).

Once the assessor's report is in your hands scrutise it, raise every discrepancy with the DWP and make sure to cross reference them or provide additional evidence and/or case law.

Oh yes, don't make phone calls to the DWP, put everything in writing, send it by Recorded Delivery to ensure a signature, when sending the application in with all the evidence it'd be best going by Special Delivery. Keep a copy of that as well plus all postage receipts and file it all to one side. No phone calls, ever.

All of this, and more, goes into the appeal application.

@ianturton @Thebratdragon @purplepadma @ChrisMayLA6 @Research_FTW that's another thing, they get the applicants to go to centres way out of the area instead of to local ones. Then they ask "How did you get here?" and try as best as they can to mark the applicant down.

Not an ad! Switched my facial wash to Neutogena 'Clear & Defend with 2% salicylic acid', now I don't have acne or blackheads, I just wanted to give it a go.

Well, the outcome has been that my eye bags look better and my skin is very smooth and soft, so I'd say that's a good result!

I don't believe Johnson is that stupid. I think a lot if not all of the blunders he makes are calculated and positively Machiavellian. Plots within plots. Constant media attention. Or maybe that's just what he wants me to think.......

Dammit

I'm arguing with myself

ItsThatDeafGuy,
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party avatar

@TheBreadmonkey He's not, he's surrounded by personnel so there's no way he could forget, it's yet another "Me, me, me" moment to keep his name in the press.

When Sunak inevitably goes it looks like there's going to be some fisticuffs between at least Johnson, Mordaunt and Badenoch for the Conservative leader role.

@TheBreadmonkey thankfully they're still getting less votes than the former UKIP party, I guess it's the ex-Tory vote going to them.

I’m trying to find information on the people we’re supposed to be voting for in the council elections today, and it ain’t easy.

They’ve all spent a fortune on shit to throw through our door, all of which has been funneled into the recycling, but basically none of them have a website with any information.

How hard is it in this day and age to throw up a quick, single page site that simply lists your plans, with a link to your socials?
