No Nukecad I'll put an immediate stop to
that here and now it's just Rasy.
Can you kindly remove your comment?
I find that rather insulting.

Hi Deebee no worries.
I have the same issues - my phone kept saying "easy" now it seems to recognise Rasy but worse it came up saying Randy, now that's just embarrassing!

Sky thanks so much always love your humour and great replies!
Maybe I will just stare! Then they can stare back.

Thanks so much Phaedra. Same here you have to be over 55 and I was 28 when I first moved in.
In fact it probably wasn't my best idea to wear my hair in pigtails the day I came to visit. Oh the...

At Tesco today. I got a typical stare of disapproval from a young person who clearly thought I shouldn't be using a disabled parking space. Usual story judging before I was even out of the car. Glad...

That's funny!
Good way of looking at it!

Thanks yes that is an excellent way to deal with it. I do feel like I'm being picked on because I'm different. It's not ok to treat people this way. I go out a lot and know I'm being watched. I...

Mike maybe you are right. I think I worry too much..
I basically get really anxious just going out of my house as I hate being stared at by my neighbours.
I feel totally self conscious.

Oh I'm not like that at all with my neighbours. I hardly speak to them. I find striking a relationship really tricky as im ASD so socialising is a nightmare. They probably think I'm quite rude and...

I live in special housing on my own. It's made up of sheltered and amenity bungalows that are identical and it's very close knit in a sweet quiet little street with a cul-de-sac. Previously I was...

Thought this would be ideal for posting some of the funny and ridiculous comments that have been said to disabled people.

I have had so many I could write a book.

Patronising, funny, hilarious,...

Lighttouch my wet room is almost identical - except the shower and the whb are opposite.
You'd have more room for the shower if it was on the opposite wall as its further from your door.
I need...

Just read "Atos re pip"as a new thread title.

Having some difficulties with headlines, I read it as "Atos rip"

Maybe that's just wishful thinking!!!!

Anything not to hear Vivaldi four seasons ever again! A beautiful timeless piece of music destroyed by DWP.
Will they ever realise that this music only ever makes people more wound up?

Hi Tom
I've found that practically every time I quote someone it gets moderated.
The best way to avoid this is simply not to quote in the usual way but to cut and paste using inverted commas.
It...

Hi Spencer69
Great advice and food for thought yes you are correct in that wheels aren't in motion yet and I'm prepared to wait for the PIP "invite".
Will let you know when the brown envelope...

Why not though? Surely it would be the same as someone taking minutes?

Any thoughts on asking for an extra person in the room to do the typing while I speak to the assessor f2f?

I am more dependent on help and assistance from strangers when I don't have someone with me so although it sounds a bit bizarre with my high level of disability, I'm going ask THEM for any help I...

You are right there! They usually take one look and say "Right, ok then.." and look more terrified of me than I am of them!
I did think of applying voluntarily but I don't see the point as my...

I'm on indefinite DLA HRC & HRM
I haven't been invited yet to claim PIP just wondering if 100% of claimants have to have f2f for pip1?
I'm not bothered about it too much except that I have mild ASD...

Goodness Sky that must have been aweful. Grrrr would have made my blood boil!
Maybe we should start wearing cctv on ourselves or even just a cctv sticker so people think they are being filmed.
I...

Sky excellent thread - agree wholeheartedly with all that you've said here.

Hi Sky
No wonder you are fuming!!!!!!
I agree why in earth they can't just combine the two into a single assessment?
I'm on HRM & HRC of DLA so for me I'm going to wait until I'm "invited" /...

After seeing this I'd say "Nothing is impossible".
Quite a remarkable young lady!
Thanks Sky for posting.
