I have been re-called to the DWP Department for Works and Pensions for an assessment to prove I am still disabled..
I have been disabled for over 20 years but since The Conservatives took over at number 10 Downing Street. They have changed how disabled people are looked after. We now have to prove we are disabled by going through these assessments every year just in case we get better.
My appointment was for 3.45 today, Glen had to take half a day off to take me there as its a 30 minute drive away plus I have no one else to go with me. When we got there the receptionist said:
Sorry we are running behind, you can wait until 4,15 when we will know if you will get seen today, or you can make another appointment for another day
So they wanted me to sit around for an hour with the chance I might not get seen. We decided to come home and wait for a new appointment. They could have phoned me
Thanks Google
These appointments are terrible, my hubby hates them too, he calls it a cattle market. They ask inappropriate questions. Last year I was asked:
You have depression, why haven't you killed yourself?
My hubby nearly jumped out of his chair at the assessor.
I was dreading today, Now I have to go through it all again at a later date.
Thank you @son-of-satire
