Don't assume all the abuse of the system is from shirkers. I know of instances where PIP assessments have been contracted out and the agency has been given quotas of case refusals to meet. I have sat in as a witness to assessments where the final report bore very little semblance to the actual interview, including not only altered answers, but manufactured responses to questions that were not asked. Thankfully the appeals process works.

I have a similar experience. Sadly, not everyone who's shat on in the initial refusal has the wherewithal or support to challenge. I don't mix in the same kind of circles as Alex, so I don't know of any shirkers, but I know several people who have had to go through the ordeal of an assessment, then an appeal, before getting what they need. 

I think some people just assume that benefits are being stolen by the greedy, and that everyone who needs them, gets them.

Do you have any idea of the hoops you have to go through to get an ADHD diagnosis? At the moment in our area it takes 4 years and costs around £6k. So are you sure that happens, or are you making stuff up, again? 

Yes it does. I suspect there are regions where your experience is the norm and others where, perhaps through stress on the system, things are not as stringently controlled.

It's more you have to go through tests for over a year to diagnose, including psychological tests and the backlog is huge. People round us started testing in Year 1, and weren't diagnosed in time for secondary.

I knew they shouldn't have subcontracted it out to VAR!

Happy to give it a go - happy for you to IM me it if you're uncomfortable posting on here - although sounds like you don't really give a shit about her the way you talk about her.

You want to do it, you IM me your email address

😂 what sort of email address is that.

I will pass thanks. Not in the game of potentially breaching UK GDPR.

Alexlaw76isabullshitter was taken everywhere unfortunately.

GDPR does not apply to individuals, so don't worry about that.

Please send it through, you said you would above.

Are you going to send the name and info through or not? Or are, as we all suspect, making stuff up? @sadoldgit I think you'll be interested at the outcome of this little saga, as one of your biggest critics is being shown up for doing exactly the same thing that you're accused of.

Don't forget, you were the one criticising this person. You then threw your other half under the bus by making her look a scumbag by keeping this type of company. You then said you'd send through her details if I sent you my email address, which I did. And now it looks like big tough Navy boy is scared to send it through, and instead he's enabling this behaviour.

Some stellar behaviour there Alex. Or it's all bullshit and you've been found out.

This is something else. Creating a spam email account to goad me into sharing personal info of someone to a stranger on a football forum.

I will pass thanks. Good effort though.

do check out the inbox though (if this account is real and not shut down in 5 mins time), it may or may not be used to subscribe to some interesting sites.

Oof, time to change your Saintsweb profiles again I think. 

How embarrassing.

Creating a new email account to try to extract someone else’s personal information from a complete stranger, simply to prove a point you’re wrong about, is quite something.

You don’t know me, I don’t know you, and you don’t even know the person you’re asking about. Going to those lengths just to try to prove yourself right when you’re actually wrong says everything about how far you’re prepared to go to win an argument.

lets look at this again. Creating a new email account to try and win an argument on a football forum.
