    Assessors also twist & spin things, they can contradict themselves in the reports and they can outright lie.


    After sending in every scrap of evidence that you can & making sure that you thoroughly explain which part of the descriptor you meet, hope & pray you get a decent assessor that listens to what you actually say instead of what they think you should be saying.


    Sorry if I have offended anyone with my assessment of the assessors.


    The DWP should be making it compulsory for every assessment to be recorded and filmed.

    Although thinking further, the system can't be good for the assessors either. I imagine a physiotherapist hearing detailed descriptions of severe mental illness must find it very difficult, especially if the claimant comes across as threatening. And a mental health professional having to grapple with details about joints or severe bowel problems must struggle similarly.

    The system is messed up on all sides.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
