they are reviewing everyone hence probably why they fucked you without telling you.

they will probably get some doctor on commission to find you fit saying with your prosthetic you are no more disabled than the average person.

theyve refused DLA for soldiers with 1 leg in the past!!!!

problem is the doctors are not paid to make a fair and accurate assessment but to reject people for benefits/find them fit to work hence they will always be biased.

the scummers and cheats are just lucky enough to know the rules well enough to know which conditions to fake or what to do to fulfill the criteria to abuse the system.

I cannot see the problem people often have with DLA. I have had conversations before when someone says 'oh how is it fair if someone on Ł70,000 a year gets DLA'. Any reply describing how it is used to pay for the extra costs of being disabled falls on deaf ears.

I see no issue with it and it is good it is not means tested. If someone earns a lot of money they are paying more in tax anyway so good for them.

What I find odd though is that people with obvious diabilities (e.g. parts missing or clearly not working as they should) struggle to get DLA despite the plain and obvious issues that the ineffective body part provides. I cannot see where the rationale for removing DLA from someone who plainly does not have a part of their leg that they were missing when they last qualified. It absolutely stinks. Appeal that mate. DLA is surely designed for people who end up in such a predicament. If you cannot walk far without pain you should have access to the disability benefit/mobility transport/parking badge. I can't think of many more conditions which just 'look' like you would benefit from the above more.

because the system doesnt have common sense built into it. the current assessment system is about saving money and thats it. there is no one checking decisions to make sure its "morally" right and that a genuine vulnerable person isnt being fucked over because they cant stand up for themselves or dont know how to describe things the way they want to hear it.

the onus is all on YOU the claimant. Even the appeal system is flawed. Anything thats not so obvious as missing legs etc it is well easy to get totally overlooked by the system. Most people dont know the rules and dont know the way it works. Hell, you would expect if you went for a medical assessment with a doctor that the doctor would write an accurate assessment of your disability wouldnt you?? but thats not how it happens at present. In fact id be surprised if half the doctors doing the assessments arent working within GMC guidlines or the hypocratical oath as their decisions are often not in the best interests of the patients health......

it really needs a doctor working in one of these centres to whistleblow, but then why would they when they get well paid for it???
