I rang at 4pm to ask it was still going ahead and you won't believe this, they go that no one is going to come over, CANCELLED AGAIN !!! I was absolutely fuming, furiouss at the poor girl on the phone, who do they think they are ??? how can they do this, I rang the DWP and said I have no confidence in them, they liked to me twice now, so what faith do I have in them doing my assessment correctly ? NONE. My god I am not happy at all, I've written a 2 page complaint letter and want it put to the Director, people are are unwell and need help don't deserve to be treated like this
now I have to wait till next Friday but am not keeping my hopes up
How awful w,
I do not blame you at all for being irate !!!
So the saga continues !!

Hi w,
You could also complain to The DWP as they contract Capita to provide medical services for PIP :
www.gov.uk/government/publications/compe...-guide-for-dwp-staff
You could involve your M.P. as well :
Contacting your MP
You could go into detail of any stress, anxiety and inconvenience caused, and list any pecuniary loss caused by the two cancellations.
