I applied for PIP in Nov 2013 had my medical 11 months later which I failed. I asked for a mandatory reconsideration and submitted new/supporting evidence, sent recorded. Just been told this evidence has been lost, so there is nothing new showing on their system, I am going to get a failed because of this. Is there anything I can do about this, I have asked my CPN if she can send it again, but this is beyond belief. It took me ages to get that letter, it's not easy for me asking for help, saying nothing for what it is doing to my MH. I cannot believe they can lose such valuable paperwork.

I've received an appointment letter from Ingeus which gives the usual date and time of appointment but underneath has the following:- "Your activities for your next appointment are: Please attend appointment to review your work related activity, alongside providing evidence of job application. During your appointment you will undertake job application activity providing documentary evidence of vacancies applied for during this time." I am aware I am under obligation to provide my job centre adviser with said documentary evidence of job applications each fortnight to be paid my JSA, which I do, but do Ingeus have a right to ask me for the same "documentary evidence" that I provide my job centre adviser each fortnight? Am I under any obligation to provide this "documentary evidence" to Ingeus? Also, at a previous appointment with Ingeus I had a face to face interview with an Ingeus adviser who spent their time typing up what I was saying on the computer, I could see her typing notes into boxes on screen under my name and I was wondering if I have a right to see what is being typed into these boxes?

Right, where to start. I work in a security department of 20 people. 10 in my department, 9 investigators above us and one director. In my 10 there are 8 at the lowest level, with a lead figure and a head of department making up the 10. There are 6 investigators that have 2 managers and a head of investigations making up the 9, and then of course the Director. It is a very large firm and the security department has a very good reputation nationwide. However i believe that i have a rock solid case against the company for discrimination and constructive dismissal and need advice. A colleague at the same level as me was invited down to the security office and shown to an interview room. In this room he saw a tape recorder. He immediately said he wasn't happy with this and the head of our department of 10 said don't worry its just a talk and i need to be seen to be managing. He then sat my colleague down with one of the investigators and then reeled out 7 allegations of which five were considered to be Gross Misconduct. As you can imagine, my colleague was distraught! He had been an employee for five years, was very good at his job and was terrified of losing his job. The next day he called in sick and was signed off by his doctor for 2.5 months with stress. He was even referred to a psychiatrist. He was living with me as a lodger at the time of this happening. He had told me what the allegations were and i knew that they were all very shaky and that they were trying to manage him out. When he came back to work he was put on shorter hours and everything seemed fine, then 3 days later the company then suspended him on 5 counts of the 7 original allegations. He decided to fight the allegations and spent weeks on his defence whilst on suspension with pay. He also decided to make a grievance of his own against his manager, the lead security guy in his department and some of the investigators. Some of the grievances could be seen as whistleblowing. The HR department started an investigation into these complaints from my colleague and nearly the whole directorate, including the director was called for interview as a witness, or in some cases part of the grievance. I was called as a witness to one of the alleged whistleblowing incidents. I gave my evidence and also answered their questions. The next day, my Head of department had to be interviewed. He had then heard the allegations against him and because two of the events involved me at the incident he has decided in his head that i was responsible for trying to take him out. I was more than a little worried about what was going to happen after he came out of the interview as he is not a small guy and 3 of the allegations against him were of a violent nature. So without thinking i decided to place my phone on record in out restroom, which is shared by the investigators, whilst it was charging, and then went back out on my duties. I finished my shift at 7pm. My manager had already left when i came down. I took my phone off charge, stopped in recording and went to get my train home. I put on my headphones and started to listen. The first twenty minutes was silent and then my boss came into the restroom after his interview. He was very angry. He started talking to two people in my team. He was calling me all the nasty names under the son. He told a colleague he could easily put knife in my f***ing heart. My colleagues then started to suggest ways he could get me back. One even suggested sexual harassment. He then told them what i had said and openly admitted to the allegations to them but told them he denied everything. He then said he would start getting me and maybe tell a few lies to get me kicked out. This was said over the cause of the next hour with 7 of my team and 3 of the investigators all involved. All of this thankfully was recorded. I then didn't go into work the next day and contacted the HR department that is not located at my place of work. I had not slept that night and spent 6 hours with my girlfriend transcribing the incident with her in tears whilst we did so. I took the transcript to the HR department and read it out to them under recorded conditions. I also gave them a copy of the audio. They took it and told me to get some rest and that they would contact me later. The next day they told me they had spoken to my boss and he was very remorseful, i told them i was going to contact the police because of the threat to kill and i did so. HR told me that my boss was spoken to and was currently not in the business. They also said they would be investigating the other people in my team. A week later i was told by HR that my boss had resigned so they were confident i could return to work. I told them that another 10 people were implicated and compromised in the recording and i did not feel safe at all. HR then said we are investigating these people and repeated that they were very confident that i could return to work. I told them i did not know where they got their confidence from and that i would not return to work until they had finished their investigation. I then got my doctor to sign me off work for 3 weeks with work related stress. During this 2 week process i have had little or no sleep. i have been on edge because i fear reprisal from my know jobless boss who had threatened me just for giving evidence against him. My whole team were conspiring with him to get me not just sacked but with the sexual harassment claim, a criminal record, and three investigators were keen to help him. So this is where i'm at now. They haven't spoken to me for over a week now despite me asking them what is going on via email. I would like some advice on what my next move is..... I did love my job. I have been there for 7.5 years. I know my promotion was blocked on a few occasions and the last 3 people to be employed at my level, i helped train and they all became my boss. I did put in a grievance about this to the head of investigations 6 months ago and the whole directorate knew the following day. I genuinely believed the way i was treated that it would've been myself that was suspended but they chose my friend. I defended him and told the truth when i was a witness. The boss had already admitted the allegations against him on my recording, but now i feel as i cannot return to work, i feel my company are largely ignoring me and if i was to leave i would be taking a £10,000 pay drop in the same job role as my current employer pays very well. I don't know what to do next....

I was dismissed after a gross misconduct hearing with NHS, I appealed and lost the appeal. I applied under DPA for all information that they held about me. They sent me the same information that I had been given prior to and during the hearing. Due to my profession the disclosing and barring service are involved. A year after my dismissal the DBS sent me papers for me to respond to. The papers were from the NHS; the papers were a copy of the report made by a seniour NHS manager for the gross misconduct hearing. The problem I have is that the statement provided to the DBS by the NHS contains a different account that was provided to me; I have never been presented with this version from the NHS. The DBS version contains information that was taken from a meeting during 2011; however that information was initially recorded as a draft; that draft was recorded as a draft and the information was corrected during 2012 I have found a document (an email) within the DPA information that was written by a very senior NHS manager; that email talks about removing the 2011 comments as she does not want me to know about it. The NHS managers now have two versions of a statement one that was used during the gross misconduct hearing and another provided to the DBS. The one that was used against me during the hearing has no real negative issues, but they decided not to share with me some important elements; they used this against me during the hearing but didn't bother to share so I never had a chance to explain and provide any evidence to dispute. Now the DBS have this other statement I am going round in circles not knowing what to do. Thanks for reading I hope it makes sense

Under CPR 19.2 (4), can parties be substituted or added after default Judgement? Any case laws would be welcome. Thanks

I hope that this is the right place to ask for some advice. I receive DLA HRM and have done so for over 20 years. Just over 3 years ago I found out that I could have a Blue Badge because of my DLA award. I applied in June 2011 and it was given to me with no problems. However this time round when I asked for it to be renewed, the council refused to supply one. They told me that I had not sent in any up to date evidence to support my mobility problems. I understood that HRM made it automatic but it doesn't it seems. The council have told me that the award would have been based on old evidence when the award was made and for all they know I may have had a massive improvement and not told the DWP. They directed me to their website which clearly says what I should send them. Unless I can prove that my mobility problems are just the same today as they were a few years ago, then no Badge. This is what the council's website says which I must admit I never dreamed of looking at when I reapplied Send us: 1 recent passport size photograph a copy of a document confirming your address, dated within the last 12 months a copy of a document proving your identity proof of any benefit that means you qualify automatically recent medical evidence of your disability a cheque or postal order for £10 made payable to Kent County Council (if you haven’t paid online or by phone). Is this right?

Hello, I received a penalty charge for allegedly driving in a bus lane while in London. However the photographic evidence is highly unclear with no clear display of our licence plate. When I requested clearer evidence they sent us a picture of a darkened car with a licence plate in clear white with my plate on it. None of the pictures they have sent us have any clear discernible evidence that it was our car. Whilst i was in London on the date of the incident, i think i was, the evidence seems really concerning in that it could have been any car. Furthermore, the original pictures sent were during the daytime and yet the only picture where there is a clear licence plate is near pitch black and the quality seems highly contrastable to that picture and the others. Is there any way of defending this and can you offer any advice please? Thank you

Hello, I just wanted to get clarification over something relating to ANPR tickets from private car parks. Most parking signs state that you get xxx amount of time free parking then after that you are charged xxx amount. So if you overstay your parking your are alleged to be in breach of contract. Now if the only evidence that Parkingeye or whoever has of your time in the car park is 2 photographs 1) entering 2) exiting car park. How on earth does this represent evidence of a breach of contract? Sure the alleged breach of contract is about the time you overstayed your parking, and therefore they must provide evidence of your parked vehicle. Showing 2 pictures of you entering and exiting a car park 6 hours apart shows nothing. Surely you could claim that you just drove around in circles for 6 hours, or you left the car park by other means, and came back the same way. If you receive court papers based upon these 2 photos, isnt your defence a simply statement of - No evidence has been provided of a parked vehicle? job done? yes or no? would love to hear your thoughts on this

On more than one occasion I have been lied to, deceived, misled and threatened by advisers at Jobcentre. If only I could prove it!!!!! My questions are these; 1. Is it within the law for me to record interviews with advisers at Jobcentre on a pocket recording device without notifying the adviser? 2. Would evidence of any of the above misdemeanours, or maladministration of any kind, gathered by using such a device in such a way be admissible at a hearing or tribunal?

I have been doing a little bit of letter tennis with a Debt Collector over a PCN; I asked for copies of any photographic evidence taken at the time the PCN was issued.... Response: There is no such evidence available; however under the British Parking Association's code of practice, I am under no obligation to provide such evidence. Therefore whether I provide it or not will not effect the outcome of this matter. Correct or not.....??? I thought they had to take photos as part of their evidence or how else can they prove that the vehicle as actually there, committing an offence, and the PCN was fixed to it. Plus if I want to see their photos (evidence) I am fully entitled to.

My partner and I are in the process of applying for a rented property in Glasgow. This particular agency has asked us to "provide evidence of a credit check"... We both have a couple of defaults but no IVAs, Bankruptcy orders or CCJs. As I understand, since they are not a lender, letting agencies are not privy to defaults if they carry out their own credit checks. The wording on the letter specifically doesn't ask for a "credit report" but is there any other way to provide "evidence of..." without mailing them a credit report from Experian or similar? They also have a £200 holding fee which they will return if we are rejected but not if we withdraw application. At the end of the day, if they don't accept our credit score and return the fee then fair enough but I don't want to reveal all the skeletons in our closet if it's not legally required.

4 weeks ago, back in March, I parked in a parking bay designated only by a single solid white line. This was in a busy but small street in a nightlife area of central London. Before I left home I had checked for on street parking in the vicinity on the internet, including the local council's own website as I wanted to avoid any restrictions, etc. There was onstreet parking provided further down the same street (which was all taken), but I wasn't sure if the two empty bays were restricted or not. So before I left my car I walked up the street in both directions looking for any parking restriction signs or 'time plates'. 2-3 metres away from my car there was a fenced off area of road works along the edge of the road extending for about 10 metres and scaffolding on the pavement. There were two temporary parking signs right by these roadworks: one tied to a lamppost and another tied to the scaffolding. They appeared to be suspending or restricting parking where 2 residents' parking bays had used to be, where the road works were taking place. They referred to this parking being opposite a junction, i.e. where the road works were. The two empty parking spaces started at least 2 metres further down the street, away from the junction. There was no sign or time plate on the street right opposite the parking bay(s) where I parked. While looking for a space I had noticed quite a number of suspended parking signs in the surrounding streets. But these had been sited right next to bays which had been suspended or referred to a specific address, such as between 12-22 xxxxx Road. Anyhow, this is what the signs said. The yellow Loading/Stopping one tied to the scaffolding read: 24 February 2014 19 April 2014, 24hrs including weekends. 12 Metres (2 spaces) Bedford Street 2 Residents Bays Outside Entrance to Bedford Court (Opposite Junction of Henrietta Street) STREET WORKS S5Z08593 The yellow one tied to the lamp post read: City of Westminster WARNING PARKING SUSENDED If this suspension is unclear or is not being used call 0207 823 4567 Again, just to reiterate, these notices were right next to the roadworks and opposite the junction mentioned. The fenced off area of road works extended for about 12 metres, i.e. 2 parking spaces, so it seemed obvious, if totally unnecessary, that they were referring to residents parking being suspended where the road works were taking place. I assumed that if the authority had wanted to designate the parking bays that I and another car had parked in as substitute residents's bays then the notices would have clearly said so and specified the address right opposite these bays. I was bemused by the wording of the 'Parking Suspended' sign as it seemed to suggest or at least lack the confidence that its wording wasn't clear. Surely a parking suspension should be worded clearly. Anyhow, for all the trouble I took researching the area and the parking bay I finally parked in I received a PCN with code 12R. i.e. for parking in a residents' or shared use parking place or zone without clearly displaying a valid permit, etc., etc. I took some pictures of my car and of the signs. The Civil Harrassment Officer (CHO) had taken 3 photos: two of my car and a third of something else. The third was totally blurred so you couldn't make out anything at all, although by knowing the context you could guess it was of a parking sign half way up a lamp post. I challenged the PCN on the basis that there was so restricted parking sign or time plate in the area of my car. My challenge was rejected with an outright contradiction of what I had said in my challenge. Their wording is: “Your challenge against this PCN has been rejected (surprise, surprise), because the evidence supplied by the CHO confirms that the time plate was in place and was 2 metres from where your vehicle was parked. There is a time plate in place for every bay”. They rejected my photos taken with a mobile phone because of a lack of a date/time stamp. They seemed to know that their “evidence” wasn't satisfactory due to the totally blurred picture, because they are relying on the fact that all three pictures were taken in the same minute. i.e. the blurred photo of the sign must have been taken not far from my car. But, even if the photo wasn't totally blurred, it would simply mean it was taken within a 55 second walk of where my car was. From reading other forum posts I understand that photos are not required as evidence to support issuance of a PCN, but that they are used just to persuade the driver that they're at fault. Fair enough, but if that's the case, don't use photos as purported evidence or invite drivers to challenge PCNs on the same basis. Ideally the photo(s) would show both the car and the sign/time plate in the same photo. The rejection letter further states: “As you can see from the above photographs they are time stamped and the time indicated on all 3 photographs is 19:45. This indicated that the signage was in close proximity to your vehicle and in light of this I am satisfied that the PCN was issued correctly.” Again, from reading other posts such as a similar case in Plymouth, a sign can only be relevant for parking on the same side of the street as the sign. Thus, their reference to the sign being in close proximity because a blurred picture of something was taken in the same minute doesn't seem to be sound evidence at all. So I accept it is possible there was a sign some distance away that I didn't spot, (because the other signs were far more prominent and at eye level), but surely the Council or CHO must provide positive and clear evidence that there was a sign as well as of its location. Questions: Is their evidence strong enough to support their assertion that a time plate was in place? As far as I'm concerned they still haven't shown me the signage or time plate that they refer to. If so, if it was 2 metres away half way up a lamp post above these road works is that close enough or clear enough? I have 14 days (now 7 days) to pay the half-fee of £65 or appeal and risk paying the £130. My main concern is losing and paying any other fees or costs which aren't specified. If I lost my appeal would there be any such extra costs? Most importantly, do I have a strong case for making a Formal Representation? A friend also took photos with his digital camera. Could I also submit these as part of an appeal? I haven't seen the photos yet but they could have a date/time stamp on them. But we didn't take any pictures of a time plate that they refer to, so maybe it wouldn't make any difference anyway. If the time plate that the council refers to happens to be attached to the same lamp post where I saw the Suspend Parking sign, would I have a strong case to say that the view of it was obstructed or impeded by the road works immediately below? i.e. you would have to walk in to the middle of the rod or cross the road to notice it. Any comment or advice welcome, supportive or not!

Hi I have to produce a statement of evidence and do not know what this is I have tried to search for a example/templet on the web and also tried to see if there is guidance in the CPR surprisingly I cannot find any info anywhere. I'd be grateful if someone can direct me in the right direction or to a template/example. I have tried to search for one on this site and there are references to one but I have not found it yet. Thanks.

Hi there, I was parked on a single yellow line on a sunday not realising it was a CPZ. The car was in my full view and I saw an officer approaching. I ran out and by the time I got to the car I said to him "I don't see any signs?" and he ignored me and started punching in on his machine. I quickly got in the car and proceeded to drive away. He took a picture as I was doing this. I received the PCN in the post and it states that the officer was prevented from giving me the PCN. When I clicked to view the evidence online, there is only one photo of the front of the car (no side angle pictures). The picture could have been taken anywhere - there is no evidence from the picture that this was a CPZ and furthermore you can see me sitting in the drivers seat!! Would I be successful in appealing this? If not, will I still be able to benefit from the reduced rate? Thanks

Small Claims Court - No address for the defendant Hello, I have recently moved into a property. In the past 3 months the cellar hasflooded 7 times (each time 200+L water are removed), we have sufficientevidence that the vendor did not disclose any historic flooding, records ofeach flood, quotes to repair the issue and an independent flood reportoutlining it as an historic issue. Unfortunately the firm that carried out thehomebuyers report did not report flood issues, rather covering their back byindicating that it was dry and dark in cellar so a judgement could not be made. We have been advised that we have a very strong case against the vendor andshould begin proceeding for a small claims (for the adjustment in value of theproperty if we had been informed prior to purchase i.e. the cost of fixing theissue). The only problem is we do not have any address for the vendors. We haveasked for it via email and their solicitors but they have blocked both avenues.We have tried the electoral role but no joy. Can anyone recommend any alternative methods for finding someone's newaddress? I would be eternally grateful! Thanks Keith

Hi, don't know if I'm in the right forum but I could do with some advice on exactly debt collectors can ask you for. I defaulted on a store card (I think) a few years back and have been paying an agreed amount monthly to Mackenzie Hall. A week ago I received a letter from 1st Credit stating that they had recalled the debt and ordered Mackenzie Hall not to collect it anymore. They asked me to ring them to arrange repayment. Due to mental health problems and other health problems I emailed them telling them that I don't talk to collection agencies over the phone due to my health and that I would continue to pay the monthly agreed amount as I had done with Mackenzie Hall. I received a email back today asking if I would send medical evidence to back up my claims and that they'll deal with it from there. Sorry if this is long winded, but I just wanted to know what my rights are, do I have to send medical evidence, as this is not going to change how much I can pay each month. Thanks for reading any help would be much appreciated.

I’m a carer to a wheelchair user with whom I attended court with as a witness two weeks ago. Whilst at court, I witnessed the claimant’s barrister and solicitor withhold new evidence before and during a high court hearing and The evidence was then handed to the court after judgment was given. I have no doubt this led to an unsafe judgment against the Defendant. I believe that the claimant’s representatives misled the court and interfered with the administration of justice. How do I go about reporting this and to whom?

Hello, I hope someone can help me with this pcn. I received a pcn for parking in a restricted area. I have attached the photo evidence I found on the pcn payment website, and as you can see the photos were taken in complete darkness. While you can see my car's plate numbers, you cannot see the street at all. Is there a basis to appeal this pcn given that you cannot see a contravention in the photos. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.

I have kept putting off filling in my ESA 50 form, I had a month to do it and now it's near the time I need to send it. But over the past few days I've been looking up things and a lot of people are saying you need to send medical evidence with the ESA50 form, even though they say it isn't mandatory. It has to be there by the 5th December, so I need to send it soon. I phoned my doctor and the secretary said that ATOS / DWP would get in touch with them if they needed evidence, but I said that sometimes they don't seem to do this. She said she would see my gp about writing me a letter, and that she would phone back today...which she hasn't done yet so seems unlikely. I'm not sure if I should send the form off now to make sure it gets there, or wait to try and get a letter. Or would it be possible to arrange with ATOS to send the medical evidence after I have sent the ESA50? And would I need to state that on the form? Getting a bit stressed over this and really would like to avoid having to go to an assessment.

Hello, For the past few years I have been repaying a small unsecured loan to Northern Rock, with a token gesture payment of varying amounts owing to being in receipt of Employment Support Allowance as I am suffering from multiple health problems. As you're probably aware N Rock have passed several of their debts over to a company called Marlin Financial Services, mine included. While Marlin have agreed that I may continue to pay the same rate per month that I was paying N Rock, they have requested that I produce medical evidence to support my claim that I'm actually unwell. I do have written proof but I don't see why I should send it to them, they aren't after all in the medical or legal profession. My question therefore is would I be within my rights to deny their request for medical evidence? Many thanks for reading.

I am a courier on my own and I'm writing because my situation with the fines are clearly damaging my work. The last fine that was received in the category Parking Ticket issued by Civil Enforcement Officer AND SENT BY POST . In Camden Town Council I was sitting inside my van stopped in a bay of "Resident Permit Parking Only" waiting for a customer to deliver some beds when in a while a traffic warden approached and started to pass me a ticket. I wasn't doing anything (loading/unloading) at the moment I thought the officer would never pass me a ticket in this circumstances as I was inside the van and I could move it straight in any moment. Well I thought wrong because after a few minutes she had the ticket in hand ready to give me but when she confronted me with this situation I moved my van out of the place not even giving her chance to take the evidence pictures or giving me in hand the sheet. After one month of this event happened I get the PCN to pay 130 pounds and 4 evidences photos which is not clear that my van appears. Contravention description - Parked in a residents` or shared use parking place or zone without either clearly displaying a valid permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place, or without payment of the parking charge - shared use bay What can I do in this situation ? Thanks in advance

Sorry this is my first post but I guess that is the nature of this site, anyhoo I need some advise regarding the SOGA and small claims after rejecting a vehicle - to cut a long story short... Question 1 - under the small claims court it appears I need to seek the judges permission to present expert evidence? I have spoken to VW Van center in Exeter and due to the nature of the camshaft fault needing some of the engine to be removed to be properly diagnosed this will cost £390 in labour and parts (gaskets need to be replaced when engine is taken apart, hence parts cost). I am worried if I pay for this to be done in advance of the claim the judge might say it was an unreasonable cost and whilst make a judgement in my favour he could choose to not assign this cost to the defendant because I hadn't asked his permission before having the work done? Obviously on the other hand I've had this van on my drive since the end of June and it was meant to be my daily car so I don't want to delay things any further Question 2 - The road tax runs out in August but the dealer hasn't sent me the V5, second key or warranty paperwork as promised so I'm not sure what to do if this is ongoing after the road tax runs out? Edit: Attached the letters and evidence I have started to document for my claim for anyone interested in reading them... [ATTACH=CONFIG]45348[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]45349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]45350[/ATTACH]

Hi all, first post so please bear with me. I have had a letter from HRMC "Notice Requiring Information or Evidence" for the Tax Credits award 2012-2013 as a single person. They have said they have credit checked and found that "there MAY be Mr *********" living at your address. asking me to send bills etc.... Has anyone else had a letter of this type? Quite worried having had a quick read, I think I have not informed them of a change, he was a boyfriend I had for 7 months although financially he gave me nothing. He paid for Sky/phoneand internet combination (because I never had it) but everything else is in my name. Can anyone advise please thanks in advance.

I have filled in an ESA50 as I was unable to get to ATOS in Feb. They waited 6 moths to call me to assessment, by which time my support worker had left (benefit now reduced). My last ESA50 was filled in not very well by that support worker a year ago. I have answered honestly. Stated I can't walk as it causes me severe pain due to migraines, hydrandentis suppuravita & morbid obesity. But I'm not sure what evidence I need to support this. I have mentioned these things to my previous GP, but the fact I could get in to tell them last year & wouldn't let them see me crawl- I think they have interpreted as lack of severity. I refused to show private areas & so only have hydradetis suppurativa as 'possible' on my medical summary. My migraines have been recorded as 'headache'. I can send letter from clinic that diagnosed asperger's syndrome last year. Though I really forced myself to go to it & experienced much fear/panic. I was driven to assessment last year by support worker who attended. But the fact I could get to this might be used against me? I haven't been out in 6 months now though. I also have a letter from GP confirming that due to phobias I have not been out in 5 months & can't get to examination center. I think GP did this to stop me keep requesting medical certificates. As now GP has not sent back my latest SAE requesting one. My problem is that because I spend all day in bed & am housebound, I cancelled 2 neurology appointments a few years ago due to fear/anxiety of going out/people. So have not had any diagnosis or assessment for cause of blackouts & absences. So I have no evidence of these- just in my medical notes a few bits GP has noted incorrectly from few appointments. I have written to my GP a few times asking for help & treatment, the GP does not reply. I have difficulty using the phone & have no one to help- so am not getting anywhere. My statement for fitness for work has been listing depression. Though not sure how they get that as I informed past/present GP I feel suicidal on daily basis- not all depressed people are suicidal! It just feels like there's nothing I can do to actually prove my disabilities affect me severely. My support worker passed me over to an advocate who abandoned me. This is not helped by the fact I only see 2 people ever- my mother & 6 year old child. My mother is the sort who sees my asperger's syndrome as something I choose to have & what lazy people are called! And she labels me lazy & filthy (bed sheets covered in blood etc). Though oddly she's happy to take my carers allowance £60 from my ESA/child tax credit & child benefit from my bank account- despite calling me a scrounger! I have no one supportive in my life & so when it comes to providing evidence or showing true extent of my problems it becomes impossible.
