PIP And ESA Assessments- Parliament Wants To Hear From You
October 18, 2017
With many thanks to Benefits And Work.
The Commons Select Committee on Work and Pensions would like to hear from you if you have had an assessment, or are waiting for an assessment, for PIP or ESA.
So far over 500 people have posted their comments on the parliament website about their experience of PIP and ESA assessments.
We’re sure that there are many more claimants who could help Frank Field and his committee understand just how bad the system is.
The committee wants to know:
- Did you feel that the right decision on your entitlement to ESA/PIP was reached as a result of your initial assessment?
- If not—what do you feel were the reasons for this?
- If you have experience of Mandatory Reconsideration, did you find this stage effective and useful? How might it be improved?
- Overall, how “claimant-friendly” did you find the assessment process?
- What steps would you recommend taking to improve it?

My pip assessment was a joke, got 0 points even though I had a mountain of evidence, it was
Ignored as the assessor knew more than the doctor. A complete farce, tory driven cruelty.

Call for submissions on draft General Comment No. 6 on equality and non-discrimination
***deadline: 15 November 2017***
http://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/CRPD/Pages/CallPersonsDisabilitiesEqualityResponsability.aspx

Call for submissions: Draft General Comment on the right of persons with disabilities to equality and non-discrimination (article 5)
During its 17th session (20 March- 12 April 2017) the Committee decided to start the drafting process of its General Comment No. 6 on the right of persons with disabilities to equality and non-discrimination. In this regard, the Committee held a Day of General Discussion on 25 August 2017 during its 18th session in Geneva, Switzerland, and issued a related call for submissions to all interested stakeholders.
Although equality and non-discrimination are international law principles, the Committee has identified implementation gaps with regard to article 5 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Throughout the more than 60 State party reviews it has carried out, the Committee has observed that disability-based differential treatment with detrimental consequences persists. It also notes that such treatment is wrongly justified and carried out in the guise of “protection”, “beneficial treatment” or being “in the best interests” of persons with disabilities and is not in line with the human rights model of disability.
Furthermore, the Committee notes the perpetuation of negative portrayals of disability affecting women and children with disabilities and persons with intellectual or psychosocial disabilities in particular. Examples include the enduring prejudice, stigma and misperceptions against persons with disabilities in society, including harmful and negative stereotypes of disability in the media, and the promotion of charity, welfare and medical approaches to disability, despite their incompatibility with the Convention.
With this General Comment, the Committee intends to clarify, among others:
Equality and non-discrimination on the basis of the human rights model of disability and defining elements of article 5, among others:
a. Formal equality, substantive equality, and transformative equality / inclusive equality model of the Convention;
b. Equality before and under the law;
c. Equal protection of the law; prohibition of all forms of discrimination (direct and indirect discrimination; intersectional discrimination, multiple discrimination, discrimination on the grounds of disability, including discrimination by association, denial of reasonable accommodation);
d. The limits, processes and duties relating to the provision of reasonable accommodation;
e. Specific measures;
General obligations of States: including accessibility, procedural accommodation and age-appropriate support;
Concrete guidance on the implementation of article 5 at the national level as a crosscutting provision of the Convention, including the disaggregation of data, the development of indicators, and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
In order to detail its position and jurisprudence, the Committee has endorsed a Draft General Comment on equality and non-discrimination during its 18th session. The Committee invites interested States parties, focal points, coordination mechanisms, independent monitoring frameworks, national human rights institutions, equality bodies, United Nations funds, programmes, and specialized agencies, entities in the private sector, civil society organizations, and particularly representative organizations of persons with disabilities, academia and any other interested party to provide written input on the issues highlighted above and to contribute to the development of the draft in the following format.
Format of the written submissions to the draft General Comment on art. 5:
Less than 5,300 words;
In English, Spanish, or French. Submissions will not be translated;
In Word format;
Please do not include comments in the text of the draft general comment but submit them in a separate document including:
a) Identification of the submitting entity;
b) The paragraph number(s) to which the submission refers;
c) Concise comments;
d) Proposed text for amendment, if relevant;
e) Additional topic(s) to be included/left out of the draft general comment, with a short explanation and, if relevant, proposed text.
Please send submissions electronically to:
Ms. Harumi Fuentes at
hfuentes@ohchr.org
, copying Mr. Jorge Araya, Secretary of the Committee, at
jaraya@ohchr.org
indicating in the subject line
“Draft general comment on art. 5”
by 15 November 2017.
