I will post the whole story later but the reason for creating this was I received the second decision makers decision on Saturday.
So now I have read it!
This is how I have ended up creating my own blogg, admitting that "I am a Benefit Faker!"
According to the DWP I Am -
"Although the claimant has indicated problems with a significant amount of the activities they have not provided any evidence either from a specialist or a consultant to corroborate this and therefore it it is inherently improbable and unlikely that his conditions cause him the significant functional impairment as indicated by him on the ESA 50 (that they lost) and at the assessment!"
So A Medico Legal Expert and Consultant Spinal Surgeon is not a specialist or a consultant, funny that, when my Solicitors paid for the report they sent me to the best expert in the UK, who stated that I was 60% disabled for life and that it was highly doubtful that I would ever return to any meaningful employment. In the best case I may, at some point in the future be able to return to some sort of work but it would have to be sedentary at best.
Oh and I have the Medico Legal Report from the other side (my employers) which is from a Consultant Neurosurgeon which says exactly the same thing! I Guess he doesn't fit ATOS and the DWP's description of a Consultant either.
I now have to wait up to another six or more months to go to appeal as I have been found fit for work, Again!
They lost my ESA 50 form so faked one up and then said they did. HUH!
I Manage my pain and have managed to smile, joke and laugh my way through the very slow recovery from Major spinal surgery, that went wrong.
I Have two failed pieces of titanium at c5-c6 and c6-c7, my head turns right but not left.
I have severe damage to the Ulna nerve and a Brachial Complex.
My left shoulder does not rotate at all, my left arm bends at the elbow but not at the wrist.
I have limited use of all but my index finger and thumb on my left hand.
My shoulder and neck pain is chronic and jumps on my scale from a brilliant 2 (only had 1 day so far, but if we have had 1 we can have another) to a totally debilitating 10.
The daily average is between 3 and 5, all day, every day!
As I write this my pain is at around 6.5, it has climbed there while I type this.
I take enough codeine to sink a battle ship and I don't sleep, I take some pills and comatose for awhile.
I am having trouble smiling today, because I am to angry that a crazy system, designed for you to fail their questions, has been created and continues to be used.
I didn't ask to be in this position, it just happened, I loved my Job (lucky me).
What I do ask for is to be treated with Respect and asked questions that relate to my disability, not you all fit in this box mentality. I do ask that the opinions and diagnoses by my consultants and specialists be listened to, not some person ticking boxes and making observations over 40 minutes.
Most of all I expect to be treated fairly, that what I am telling you is the truth, because in the vast majority of cases it is the truth. The Governments own report said so.
I am NOT a Benefit Faker, I am just a person with a disability and chronic pain, trying to live my life with dignity, self respect and the ability to pay my bills on time.
