Just to update you... I am now on Universal credit as I had no option due to having no income, I got a fit note (sick Note) from the doctor for a month and in the meantime received a form from universal credit to fill in about my illness and to say they may refer me to a DWP fitness for work assesor. my mandatory reconsideration has now gone to the tribunal stage and I have received a pack in the post containing about 60 A4 pages but no date as yet. It would appear the tactic is to bog you down in as much paperwork as possible and apparently a Doctors opinion is no longer worth the paper it is written on. I'll be going to this tribunal on my own as I could not find anyone to represent me or come with me ( i got passed around from pillar to post with one organisarion saying the other may be able to help) it looks like organisations are now frightened of confronting the DWP they don't even want their name included on DWP forms to say they helped you fill it in. I am extremely disillusioned with the whole system
