[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1057521, member: 56232"] I have a family member with autism who was diagnosed by a doctor very young. Usually not too many problems but as soon as PIP came in she was having to prove that she was autistic. Also there is a requirement to re-prove it each time as if it would magically ******* go away. The total allowance was drastically dropped, you had to burn through your savings before you were allowed it (because apparently people on very low incomes aren't allowed to have savings at all) and we had a member of the government trying to find every way they could to discredit the doctors diagnosis. Mogg was lying through his teeth, PIP was designed specifically to get people off the system and reduce payments to those who remained. If you have a mental disability and don't have someone competent to fill out the form, you were virtually guaranteed to lose it. They even tried to use the fact that the form for my sister was correctly filled in as evidence she didn't ******* have autism! (my dad basically filled it out for her). It took weeks to get sorted as they were determined to remove the benefits and my dad even had to go to the local MP and see him directly to argue the case. All of that just so the government would actually accept a doctors official diagnosis that had been made years earlier! It was one of the earlier cases of PIP being refused and eventually overturned, apparently the success rate is extremely low. This mans story is EXACTLY what PIP was designed to do, kick the disabled off the benefits. To say otherwise is a complete disgrace. Depends what you think good conduct is, he was telling bare faced lies to this man. As I've had a family member go through the PIP process and what proceeded it I can say without a shadow of a doubt that all his claims about what PIP was for and what it achieved were bare faced lies. Staying calm doesn't mean you are conducting yourself well as there are many people who will talk calmly whilst intentionally pressing all the buttons to wind their opponent up. That is not conducting yourself well. To be fair this isn't a Mogg exclusive issue, it's a Tory issue. They have never been open about the actual results of PIP. [/QUOTE]
