“Fighting to prove one’s disability status can take a significant toll on mental health, often leading to emotional distress and exacerbating existing challenges. The process of navigating bureaucratic systems, compiling extensive documentation, and attending assessments can be arduous and draining, compounding the already burdensome effects of living with a disability. It’s essential to recognize that the stress and strain imposed by these processes can have a profound impact on individuals’ well-being, contributing to anxiety, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. Moreover, instances, where individuals feel discriminated against or unfairly treated by entities like the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) or through the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments, can compound this distress. In such cases, it’s crucial to advocate for the rights of individuals with disabilities and ensure that they are compensated for any damages incurred as a result of discrimination, recognizing the importance of protecting both their financial security and their mental and emotional health”.
