CICA Nightmare
Comments

If i have to complain again it will be my 4th complaint i think but it does get them moving 😂. my case should have been left with the senior decision maker after tribunal but somehow managed to be given back to
the case builder team and then forgotten about . Honestly you have nothing to worry about with the psychological assessment,they are independent and so lovely and understanding. They also know how the cica works so will ask all the right questions. It wont just be about the incident though they ask about your childhood and upbringing , they ask lots of personal questions. but your right it is all about them diagnosing you as unless you already have a diagnosis from a psychologist ( doctors or councellors diagnosis aren’t valid) they will use this diagnosis from this assessment to determine if its ptsd or something else. I had slready got a PTSD diagnosis previously as i was under the mental health team and saw psychologist regularly. But i still had to have this assessment done too .but actually seeing the assessment written and seeing it in writing that i had PTSD really made me cry . Its like everything just hits home Xx
