Hello
I've been looking over the Equality Act for the purposes of a disability discrimination complaint, and cannot work out which type of discrimination my matter falls into. I wonder if you could advise please?
So many unbelievable events took place at my PIP assessment, and the nurse refused to discuss my mental health issues, and other crucial matters.
She would not look at any of my medical or psych reports taken with me either, which span over 8 years.
She also scoffed at me when I tried to discuss my incontinences, would not let me speak of anything freely, and refused to budge from her onscreen script, saying she had a time allowance to keep to.
She told many lies about my composure, even stating in her report that I "did not present as tearful", when I sobbed so hard that she tossed a box of tissues towards me.
Anyhow, as I knew it would be as I left the room, my award was then downgraded.
*Independent Assessment Services held a thorough investigation, and have admitted by letter that my assessment was 'not robust' and that the nurse failed to properly conduct the assessment. She wrote nothing in her report regarding my mental health to back this*
I have been offered another assessment and exhausted my complaint with them, and been told to go to I.C.E. - I have had an interim appeal court hearing, where the judge has agreed that I should be put through no more, and that she will assess me herself in the next month or so. I believe this is unheard of, but i was grateful to hear this.
Under the Equality Act, there are six kinds of unlawful discrimination:
direct discrimination.
harassment.
indirect discrimination.
failure to make a reasonable adjustment.
discrimination because of something arising in consequence of disability.
victimisation.
It's a heavy read, and my mind isn't up to it. I cannot work out which of the six types the discrimination falls under.
DWP also refuse to remove the 'non robust' assessment from my file, and this I believe is also discriminatory, as a future assessor always looks back at the findings of the last, and will be naturally swayed. This means I will be in a forever loop of what I feel will be perpetual victimisation throughout future claims.
Any thoughts please?
Thank you.
