If I knew that I'd be on it.
Being a mod on another couple of fora it sort of bounces off me.
I'm used to seeing crap that regular members can't see.

One thing I will say is that the amount of...

It's the site lack of moderation.

If I had mod access here I could take down all of todays crap in about 15 seconds.
(I'd probably have caught it and banned the spambot before the majority of it...

Good news (as long as the SDP backpay does hit the bank).

It shouldn't take so long to get these things sorted out, but it's what we are stuck with and you have to play their game.
(And it looks...

The 'lying bitch' has now accepted £5,000 compensation,

They are simply wrong in law / trying to use the wrong law.

Simplifying that timeline:

Previous WCA 23/07/2018 ffw from 15/08/2018.
MR 04/10/2018 still ffw.

05/12/2018 provided fit note in...

Piece of string I'm afraid.

And I'm also afraid that this incorrect backpay for LCWRA issue seems to be becoming a new way of them trying to pennypinch and save money.
There is another member...

It looks like time to get your (newly elected so probably keen) MP on the case to give the DWP a poke.

A communication from a MP's office usually does wonders to make the DWP get their finger out,...

I think that they are trying to baffle you with bullshit.

Read again the line that starts "UC regulations state that a relevant period...".

There is nothing it that regulation about 'evidence'...

Hard to tell, but if what you have sent is good enough then when it gets to the assessment company they may say the same and not need to see you f2f.

I's entirely possible that his supervisor has...

He shouldn't really have told you that he was going to extend the award.
He may have been minded to, but he was jumping the gun by saying so before the process was complete.

I'm guessing that...

We can only try to work out what went wrong, and why it went wrong.

Once you can work those two out then you can think about how to put it right again, if that is still possible.
Unfortunately,...

You may have noticed this week that various newspapers have run a story about 'some' Universal Credit claimants getting a Christmas Bonus.

It's Conservative party election propaganda (Lies) - the...

So presumably the DWP have now bollocked CHDA and told them to stop messing you about?

TBH I don't realy see why they still need CHDA involved, unless they are going to do a home assessment then...

Who is it that has told you this? (I hope it was the DWP themselves).

They don't publish figures for UC, but they do for ESA which is exactly the same assessment.

The latest statistics published show that in March of this year decisions on WCAs were heading towards...

You were already aware that this might happen again.

You should do it in this order:

Ring CHDA first, tell them again that

You physically cannot attend due to medical conditions.
That you...

I read it that the correct advice to claim JSA was given over the phone, but the incorrect advice to claim UC instead was given at an appointment.

So there will be no record of what was said at...

Please try to keep your replies simpler.

I understand that you want to get everything out at once, but doing things in little steps will make it clearer and less confusing.

So what I can take...

Just to say it again - these are not 10 year awards.

They are 'ongoing' awards with no end date at all.

The 10 years is just when they might take another look.
Nobody is sure just how that...

We already have members here who are better off after moving house and having to claim UC.

That's why you can't 'volunteer' to migrate and have to have a change of circumstances that means you...

MR waiting times have long been a bone of contention, and in UC they have become a total joke.

The major welfare organisations are on the case, but getting things changed takes time.
In fact they...

Payment on the 19th would indicate that his monthly period is running from the 13th to the 12th of each month.
Regular UC payments are made 7 days after the period end.
(The advance payment doesn't...

That seems a strange objection, how would a smartwatch on your wrist, (or a phone not fixed to the chair), be easier to see while you are pushing?

Smart watches can track/record your arm movements...

No it wouldn't and you should not try to do it.

This conversation here about UC is all academic as things stand.

From your initial post you are going to be awarded ESA Support Group so UC...

Whilst at first glance it seems complicated we should be able to unravel things if we take it step by step.

Please bear with me, doing it this way, one step at a time, will give you a better...
