More Benefits Agency
I Deliberately Missed Appointments.
For roughly the last 9 months of receiving benefits i refused to go to their appointments or scheduled interviews or reply to any of their correspondence, they knew where i lived, they sent me letters, they had my number, they called me.I refused to interact with them in any way, i refused point blank to have any contact with them unless i hadnt been paid or my payment was late, then i would call them and enquire about it. But at no time did they stop my money, you got to ask why, this is the same benefits agency office that stopped my money on a whim, didnt give two shits about how hard they made it for me or irresponsible they could be in their attitude towards me, you know these guys stopped my money at the first chance they got.
Yes, the same people who for as long as i had signed on had taken every opportunity to make me struggle, give me a hard time, make it all too difficult, suddenly, i could miss appointments for months on end and they do nothing, absolutely nothing, months and months and nothing, no questions, no stoppages, the money just got paid, dosnt make sense does it?
It does if you think they have something to hide, if certain employees acted out of malice, were encouraged or pushed to behave in a manner that may cause embarrassment to them and their management, just like complaining to the police, who refused to help on how many occasions, how many times do you need to complain before you get any help.
Something fishy going on here.
BENEFITS AGENCY AGAIN
REMPLOY
First two lines from the About Us page on the Remploy website,
To transform society and the lives of disabled people, this is followed by - Remploy exists to improve the lives of disabled people and those with complex needs through the power of work.
Ok, so my take on that, if you are physically or mentally challenged (couldnt think of a better way of putting it, apologies if that offends you) then Remploy are there for you, and by all accounts do a good job with what they do.
So, a little about myself, fortunately i am physically fit, have no physical ailments or disablities of any shape or form, so i wouldnt say on that side of it i needed Remploy.
Mentally, yes, i felt like shit, was in a bad place, you know there is only so much you can take before cracks start to appear, the stress starts to show, the best place for me would of been the doctors being prescribed some happy pills to try and take the edge off my misery and not being forced to look for work or do something that really wasnt beneficial to my current state of mind, altho with that being said, it was a state of mind caused by events and situations created by people that couldnt help themselves when it came to intefering in my life.
So yes, i was depressed, felt like shit, but im not autistic, dont have any mental or motor deficiences or any other health issues that would stop me from working any normal job whether it be physically or mentally demanding, my thinking, thought processes, you know there is absolutely nothing wrong with me, nothing that would justify being sent to Remploy by the benefits agency, anyone that knows me, has spoken to or spent any time with me would seriously think what the fuck.
Yes they sent me to Remploy, couldnt give a fair reason when i asked why, infact completely skirted around it when i questioned it.
So, i went, sat in a room for half an hour with people that were obviously in need of the help that Remploy could provide, there were the obvious physical disabilities, there were the not so obvious too, the one thing that was obvious was that i was taking a place in a room from someone who really did need the help of Remploy, all the wasted monies, budget cuts, government cant afford this, cant pay that, ifs buts whys and wherefors, WE HAVE NO MONEY FOR YOUR.......... like remploy can afford to waste time dealing with someone that really dosnt need their help, but you know everyone else knows best.
Or so they think.
So i sat in a room for half an hour, got up walked out, gave good reason to the guy heading the room, and left.
We all know how serious the benefits agency is when it comes to their demands and you receiving your benefit, they say jump, you are supposed to say how high! Its that simple, they take no prisoners and certainly in my case wouldnt think twice about stopping my money if I didnt do as they insisted, i went, and i left.
No issue for me, back for my fortnightly appointment, said my piece, wasting my time, wasting your time, WASTING REMPLOYS TIME, the answer, I thought they might be able to help you, that is it, seriously, WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK? They thought they might be able to help me.
Do i look like i need their help?
Do i sound like i need their help?
Oh, yes, i may sound angry or bitter, frustrated, absolutely fucked off with it all but not without good cause, but there is absolutely no way on this earth that Mr Rose at the benefits agency or anyone else anywhere else could seriously justify sending me to Remploy, there is just no need.
So, my take on it, all things considered. Just another attempt to belittle, embarass and or humiliate, as a one off, idk, what can you say, one of them things, but when you add one or two other things to it, all the shit that went on with the benefits agency, all the trouble i had with them and their sanctions, the we are helping but we are not really attitude, you know the bad attitudes, or do we just put it down to someone with a little authority going out of their way to make my life as difficult and uncomfortable as possible.
Remploy is just another example, i could probably double up on what i have already written in this blog, all the different complaints in different places, many many more i could add, but seeing as i can get no-one to take my complaints seriously.
Reasons
You know, you would think a local paper would be interested wouldnt you, its a real story, these are real issues, there is a real, very fucking real reason for this shit, someone lied a fucking horrible lie, but no-one bothered to check or question whether that lie was true or false, turns out its false, if someone had cared to ask me years ago instead of just assuming that that lie was a truth and acting on that lie going out of their way to fuck my life up in every way possible.....................I could go on.
Im not going to let it go.
The police can ignore my complaints, they can take the piss, harrass, intimidate, which they quite blatantly have, paramedics at the door, self fulfilling prophecies and all that, the taxi and the cashpoint card, it goes on and on.
The truth always comes out, i have nothing to hide and the truth will come out, one way or another!
