STOP HAVING TO FILL IN DLA/PIP FORMS
Once a claim has been put in place for DLA/PIP why don't the DWP get in touch with GP, Consultants and just ask for a report. There will be no false claims and patients do not have to go through the trauma of a 39 page questionnaire that is both confusing and distressing.
Why is this important?
I am disabled and it caused me a great deal of unnecessary stress and physical discomfort to have to go though a very complex form answering the same questions again and again when the DWP have already had the reasons for my claim. All they need to do is ask a patients GP or consultant to do a simple patient report that can be printed out from their computer to answer all the questions that are required.
I am one of millions of people who have to do this and I am sure there are worse people than myself who will find this both distressing and painful. The reason l say distressing is because you realize what you are living and trying to cope with everyday. I was in so much physical pain after filling in this form again l was sobbing with the pain.
Doctors don't put patients on morphine with a cocktail of painkillers for nothing. It is just common sense and it is about time someone said enough is enough. We are claiming DLA/PIP because we need to not because we want to.
