Incapacity Assessment

Miroslav

I have one of these assessments on 23rd January, and I recall a site which gives you an idea of how many points you may score.

I've looked everywhere and can't find it. Can anyone please point me into the direction of the site.

Thanks

I think this is the one you're after:

Bear in mind that the current thinking is that they want to deny you this benefit, and they will try anything to catch you out. They are currently working towards targets and will stitch you up if they can. It is time this scandalous corruption was exposed.

when i went for mine they kept me waiting for 45mins first so i was a wreck and the man i think finished at 5 and it was 4:50 so he kept looking at his watch and he only asked me one question "how does this affect you?" so i tried to get him to be more specific but he just kept repeting himself so i tried to expain taht after 45mons in the waiting room i really neede dmore closed questions and i was really on the verge of tears coz he strted shouting the question at me and i burst out crying and then a week later i got a letter saying i was still suitable for ib. what a horrid experience!

my advice, take a book and dont get an appoiuntment in the afternoon!

good luck

I'm only on Income Support, so I don't know if that makes any difference to their stats.

But I still need the assessment apparently

My appointment is 9:40 in the morning, so hopefully not too long a wait.

Plus i'm very very tall (Dennis Rodman is a midget compared to me :j ) people don't shout at me often :j

Sounds like you had a nasty experience though

By that test, I should easily pass. Guess it depends on the person I see.

Make sure you have a companion with you,AND one trick is to try not to get any sleep the night before and dont eat so much, so you look rough and tired when you get there,And also mention you would like his diagnosis in full and in writing for your legal advisor or the CAB
ALL this is so sad , it is just a game to them. they have to prove you are fit for work,and you have to prove you are not fit for work and the rules of the game now state your own GP'S opinion counts for little

Some people just have no people skills.

Well, I won't have anyone to go with me.

I will ask for a full report. I have a CPN and attend psychotherapy, so it's not like I won't have anyone to help me appeal. Plus i'm on job centre programmes to help me back into work slowly.

I barely sleep anyway, so i'm always tired, not a problem there.
