    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi Libro, indeed I am still on the assessment rate (almost 4 years but who's counting?). My last (current) application was Nov 2011 and I've not seen an ESA50 yet. My next move is to write in to a DM and see what we can do, I've got all my supporting evidence including a full report from my GP. My DLA award was an indefinate HRM and MRC which will now go in with all my bumpf. As we all know, indefinate isn't as long as it used to be. But it has eased the financial pressure a bit. Hope you're doing ok and nice to see your posts ... :)

Just a point to mention related to ESA & DLA.

 

Well people just to verify they do use ESA for DLA see ny proof of my award......

 

img009 copy.jpg

 

 

You can see that as clear as day on my DLA form

:whoo:

 

does seem rare tho, is much more stories of people with negative results having evidence from other benefits been ignored or even worse been told they not admissable.

I'm so glad you mentioned that. Yes they will use any other evidence for a different benefit.

 

It is not unknown for the DWP to question a DLA award and eventually take it away from someone on the strength of a failed ESA assessment, even if the claimant manages to get it overturned at appeal.

 

My 3 year Support Group review will be coming up anythime now. I also get HRM & MRC. I am seriously considering giving up my ESA claim for that very reason. I don't want a DLA review.

 

I'm very surprised that they haven't re-visited your DLA award on the basis of the repeated failures to get ESA awarded. Mind you if you do send a copy of the DLA award notice to ESA, they will as likely contact the DLA people to put them in the picture of you being found nothing wrong with you!

This is not correct. DLA and ESA are awarded for totally different reasons. It's possible to receive DLA without asserting that one has limited capability for work, something that is not true for ESA.

Why then are DLA awards reviewed in the light of evidence that someone has failed their ESA claim?

 

It happens all of the time, and you only have to read the posts on this site to confirm that.

That may be true, but the fact remains - DLA has nothing to do with whether or not you can work.

 

ESA does. They are awarded for different reasons.

I am aware ot that.

 

I only made the comment as a warning that because the poster has failed 3 ESA assessments yet receives DLA, it is probable based on what has been mentioned on this site previously that the DLA award my be revisited in the light of those 3 failures.

  • 2 months later...

I have received an IBM270, asking the same. I responded to this and have received a response a week later, following the 17 days deadline, that my ESA assessment had scored 9 points. I needed at least 15 points to qualify for ESA. I am now going to appeal and ask them to continue paying me ESA or Incapacity Benefit until my appeal is decided. The decision letter has given me one month to appeal and also states that my current benefit (Incapacity) will terminate in 23 days time, so it looks like I will receive another two fortightly payments of Incapacity Benefit until it is stopped.

I have just phoned ESA and they are sending me a form GL24to appeal and I need to send in a medical certificate with my appeal. Not sure what a medical certificate is. They have said that I would then go on the basic rate of ESA until my appeal is decided. Does this sound correct? I thought that I would remain on the rate I am currently receiving, until my appeal is heard, rather than being moved onto a lower rate which would be about £35 less per week than I receive at present.
