I look on other forums because I am trying to learn a bit about the system and see if I can be of help and somebody has just posted that they asked for their report and stapled to the back of it was someone  else's report with all their details on it.

That is outrageous!!

    That is totally outrages, I have court next week with my daughter for the tribunel, I wonder if I have a case as they are very poor admin with a lot of typos, including writing my name as the one with the disability and not my daughter. x

      That is also outrageous Michelle, obviously not a lot of care is taken and writing the wrong name could have consequences.

      They have done wrong from the word go, they never requested info from the gps of hospitals, they expected me to get it all and I was going to be charged, at the end of the report it said the DWP said I oppose you dismiss this claim, obv the courts thought otherwise as we are there next week. but I will be pointing it all out in the courts. even though I am my daughter rep they shouldn't get that wrong.

      I think the whole system is wrong and it just shows the incompetence of some people in the DWP.

      Doesn't 'oppose to dismiss the claim' mean they didn't think the claim should be closed?

      but her actually report she only scored 2 points due to she can't stand at a cooker in case she has a seizure while boiling stuff. and the reconsideration still stayed at 2 points, they didn't take into consdieration supervision she needs in the bath and stuff like that.
