Had my PIP tribunal today. The judge correctly identified that the DWP had made contradictory decisions by awarding me zero points for everything in my PIP assessment and then, 2 months later, putting me in the highest support category for universal credit. The DWP did not address this decision in their package of evidence for the tribunal. So, presumably, this should mean that, as well as re-evaluating my application on its own merits, the statements from the DWP should be considered by the judge in light of their contradictory decision making. Right? Nope. The DWP "have to be given chance to submit new evidence" and my hearing that I've waited 16 months for gets adjourned after 3 minutes, putting me to the back of the queue for tribunal hearings and sentencing me to another year+ of poverty. Working absolutely as intended.

Fumble posted:I had a pip tribunal in December and it was worse than the original assessment, even though i won, It took me until at least march before i stopped bursting in to tears during the day, every day because i was stuck in the living hell of 4 cunts (judge, specialist, doctor and dwp) belittling me, laughing in my face and scoffing, scorning and talking over me going round and round in my mind. It still upsets me. i went from zero to 14 points in on one side. I still want to scream at the world but no one cares. That's awful, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for the words of support, friends

If you're a member of a housing association then they should be able to get you in touch with a team to help you. Sometimes the DWP will back off just at the sight of a welfare rights team getting near a case. I have a benefits adviser at the CAB handling my appeal for me. She did the evidence gathering and submission for the appeal.

The snakebite and black crew at that bar tipped me 5 quid every couple of rounds because I was the only person who'd serve it. e: I also recall a friend at sixth form who drank Stella + Scrumpy Jack snakebites.

While we're on the subject of PIP appeals, I had my tribunal last week and here's an example of the level of fuckery that can occur. I was refused PIP in August last year after a face to face assessment. In October, the DWP placed me in the "limited capacity for work and work related activities" group for universal credit, without an assessment and based purely on the form I filled in. A lot of the criteria for this are shared with PIP. At the tribunal (which I've waited 11 months for), the judge rightly pointed out that these two decisions seem contradictory. "Yay" I thought to myself, "the DWP have shot themselves in the foot". The result? Hearing adjourned for an unspecified amount of time (during which I do not receive the PIP money I should be getting) so that the DWP have chance to submit more evidence, despite them not caring to do so for the best part of a year. The game is entirely rigged.

josh04 posted:Reading twitter last night suggested this is an entirely normal thing to be happening during a trial that has snowballed into headline news because journalists are idiots. It is a normal thing to happen, but you have to take it a lot more seriously when you're potentially talking about vaccinating the entire world. The (possible) adverse reaction was transverse myelitis, swelling of the soft tissues in the spine, a condition that can apparently go from back pain to paralysis in under 24 hours. If the vaccine that you're making does that to one in 10,000 people then you're potentially talking about paralysing close to a million people if it's administered worldwide

Bobby Deluxe posted:Sorry for derailing the thread. My opinions of how to engage or not engage with politics are after all just my opinion, not an absolute truth. I have been out and given the dog an extra long walk for his birthday. Vote. Don't vote. Vote for minority parties in the hope they can swing a coalition. Vote for joke parties in protest. Do what you want. I can't be fighting people I'm supposed to be on the same side as. It wasn't a derail, and while the exchange got a little heated it's helpful for people struggling with this decision to see others state and support their positions. I'm glad you had a good walk, happy birthday to your doggo!

at the idea that the thread is a hotbed of violent sedition that is only kept under wraps by a consideration for appropriate OPSEC. Jose sleeps with a live grenade under his pillow. Twisto’s encyclopaedic knowledge of London’s streets is just a cover for his planning for machine gun nest locations. And I’m sure you’re spending every day running through a obstacle course of logs and tires to prepare for deployment.
