Who didn’t he tell?

Oh I didn’t realise that was the survey you posted! I don’t necessarily agree that completing a survey gives ammo for nefarious purposes. Let’s face it, if nefarious intentions are at work, they will work in any case and the results of surveys (including “no results”) can be spun in any way. I...

The Government is sending out surveys on how you spend your PIP. The Canary is urging people not to fill out any such survey, whether from Government or the There For ME survey https://www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/2025/04/17/dwp-pip-survey/

It’s the same FOI they’ve quoted

I have just seen this FOI on social media via “crips not cuts” activist group The numbers of people on PIP at standard and enhanced daily living, and % who score lower than 4 in all activities 87% of standard daily living claimants, of whom there are 1.2mil

The right kind of contacts can do a lot. Look at when Andy Burnham championed Hillsborough justice.The editor of the Daily Mail, who happened to have hired the father of Stephen Lawrence just before he was murdered. There have been great strides made by Sajid Javid, Sean O’Neill, Sarah Boothby...

Quite honestly it’s hard to get an appointment with a private practitioner, the demand is so high

On forums, it’s really useful to use the “ignore” button if there’s a poster who particularly upsets you

I’ve done this. I was disappointed that they didn’t ask about potentially losing LCWRA as that’s a massive issue for me and others who can’t work and got super ill from 2020. I think ESA is an older benefit.

It seems like you’re trying to apply logic to BPS? They don’t like logic.

Hopefully not whilst being an undergrad, but yeah, cant rule it out.

Yeah it’s a mystery why women with monthly hormone fluctuations and associated energy expenditure not to mention additional financial costs and reduced safety and near guaranteed sexual assault, should by their 20s be more fatigued. Fatigue, as we know, is caused by repeated negative thoughts...

I can’t imagine why men and women would be different /s

Would it be worth sticking with the English word “pacing” purely because it’s used in literature a lot?

This is really good, I wish I’d seen it before my tribunal. I have never had an assessment though.

Yes, I bet the BPS would think themselves superior yet they’re basically the same. Believe you are better and you are better.

Don’t certain religions cure you, if you pay, sorry pray hard enough? Is that the same as what the nice neurologist is proposing?

They told me the same thing. However they apparently have a legal duty to carry out the assessment. You would need to push for it, it seems their first line of defence is to put you off. edit I see others have said this!

As rightly pointed out, any stimulant will erm, stimulate you. Interested to see if they repeat the study but with amphetamines:p

I did 3 years without caffeine. It didn’t help. I now take 100mg when I wake up and it’s really helped me. Just my experience but I don’t think it needs to be vilified if it doesn’t cause you harm.
