Oh, I see. Fair enough. I converted it because all caps can sometimes come across as "shouting". No big deal anyhow.

You been doing just fine in your posts

[Ros1609]

For what its worth...I think this interview and the stuff going on with your grandson is a coincidence. The DWP do random checks but it really is nothing to worry about. And even if your ex daughter in law has been spreading rumours they will soon be able to see its just malicious gossip as there will be no proof that what she is saying is true.

here is the link I read a few months ago regarding if youv been reported they might try get you off DLA and onto pips,,,,,,,,

 

 

Almost as dismaying is the news that, following three Freedom of Information requests, Benefits and Work can now confirm a story we originally published last October: claimants falsely accused of fraud face a strong probability of losing their DLA and being forced to claim PIP instead. In fact, the DWP have stated that even if they know that allegations are ‘false and malicious’ they will still transfer the claimant to PIP if ‘there remains a suggestion that the existing award is incorrect.’

 

this is why iv been panicking about the interview ??!!

There are some sites for which we do not allow links. This may be for one or more reasons.

 

The site for which the link is being attempted is one of those sites.

[/i] they will still transfer the claimant to PIP if ‘there remains a suggestion that the existing award is incorrect.’

 

 

 

The point is, people who are asked to be reassessed are in PIP areas and their DLA award has been deemed to be incorrect or needing reassessment - this is what this sentence means.

[maggieomx]

I was told this is a quick underhand way the for them to get people off d.l.a and to be reassesed for pips and then they dont amazeingly qaulify for pips,

Your paranoia is misplaced - DWP staff have no time for 'underhand tactics'. They have to look at all accusations for merit. Even if they think an accusation is malicious, it still might turn out that a person's award is incorrect for their current circumstances, in which case they will be reassessed to see if they still qualify - if in a PIP area then they'll be assessed for PIP, if in a DLA area, then they'll be reassessed for DLA. There is no conspiracy.

 

 

If being reassessed for PIP, yes some people won't qualify, because the criteria are different, but others will qualify for an increased award. Again, there is no conspiracy.

 

 

Unless you've done something wrong, like misrepresenting your disability or not reporting changes of circumstances for instance, then you have nothing to worry about. The DWP have too much on their plate with the PIP changeover to be staging a mass conspiracy going after genuine claimants in order 'get them off benefits'. They still will chase those they believe to be fraudulent, but other than that you've nothing to worry about.

so when I go on Monday they could tell me im being reassessed for my DLA ?-

 

 

( if in a PIP area then they'll be assessed for PIP, if in a DLA area, then they'll be reassessed for DLA. )

and this will happen on Monday????

now im getting worried again !

The reality is that we can't tell you what will happen. Only that if they currently suspected fraud, you'd be at an IUC. As has been pointed out, you can be reassessed at any time - we can't reassure you that you won't be reassessed because we don't know. And we can't tell you you'd get PIP, as we don't know your circumstances.

 

 

We're all (those on DLA) facing the natural worry that comes with reassessment, as we all will have to be reassessed for PIP whether sooner or later.

 

 

Firstly, if you were genuine in your DLA claim and have had no changes since, then even if you are reassessed for PIP at some point, your award should continue until you get your result. With regards to PIP, take a look a the criteria and count the points as to what you think you will qualify for.

I haven't any worries about the working bit as I haven't been working ,

 

 

so a COMPLIANCE OFFICER can reassess me on Monday ?? I was assessed by a DOCTOR who came to my home when I claimed my DLA 9 years ago ,

 

 

so some guy who dosent know anything about me who sits in an office can do this ???

The Compliance officer is not going to be looking at the medical side of your claim, only the admin aspects.

[maggieomx]

so I wont be assessed on Monday ?

[antone]

so I wont be assessed on Monday ?

 

It's not a medical assessment, no. That's not what Compliance Officers do.

[estellyn]

so I wont be assessed on Monday ?

 

 

No, as was said before, several times, they'll be looking at the administrative side. A compliance officer has no remit to assess at the rate of DLA you are receiving.

 

 

But you will sooner or later be transferred from DLA to PIP and will be reassessed at some point.

[maggieomx]

estellyn I don't mind being assessed for pips , its what I have been told about the way they do it iff you have been reported as working ,you don't get your DLA and because that's suspended you lose your car x

[maggieomx]

another thing im worrying about , im due to get my ESA tomorrow will I still get paid it ??

or will I have to wait till after the interview ??

 

 

I get my DLA next week

You should get your ESA tomorrow assuming nothing has changed in respect of that claim. Your interview is to do with your DLA, right?

[maggieomx]

i don't know ?? I didn't say it was regarding my DLA,

they just said a meeting with a compliance officer ? they didn't say what it was about ? or what they want to see me about ??

[maggieomx]

I got my ESA today as norm,

the guy iv to see Monday just rang me as I rang him last Friday to ask why I have to come in for the interview,

I asked him if id been reported and he said it was an interview to check my benefits,

but I told him about what is happening with my ex d/I/law and I said id bring in statement we have from court regarding the trouble wer having with her, and he said "we will see if its malicious " ??!!

so I think maybe there has been a report ??? but hes not telling me ????
