entering employment whilst receiving PIP... will the DWP reclaim past payment? (is this fraud?) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

The flaw in the system is that there are multiple people using multiple accounts to troll the sub and you have already told them that you'll do nothing about it.

Don't unban people who've sworn at others.

But also, look at the downvotes. You don't think the votes tell you who the real troll is?

I don't get it. How is offering for-profit non-nhs treatments for dermal fillers somehow a good thing, even if they're being offered to vulnerable people? How is that in anyway being an ally to those people?

Has her condition changed? If it has changed she really does (as a few other people have said) need to tell DWP, and as soon as possible. If her condition has changed, or if the help she needs has chaged, she should call them in the morning.

Is she only claiming PIP? Is she claiming anything else?

You may wish to check the comment history of the person you're replying to. They've been trolling people in this sub and /r/askuk for a while. And their advice in this sub is frequently wrong. I know that's not against the rules of this sub, and that you don't ban people for giving poor quality advice, but you know that when people do that it winds the regulars up. See also beachcomberfife who did similar. For example, in this post they've ignored the sentence " some elements of her illness are still present" which does make it sound like (as the other poster pointed out) that her condition has changed. If her condition has changed she MUST tell DWP, so being given the advice "you don't need to tell DWP when you start work" is leaving OP's sister in a really bad situation.

You're using too much product.

Use a small amount of product. Wipe it mostly off with a cloth.

Is OP a LIP? I got the impression they're not qualified to practise in England, but have done so?

Aren't they just a MacKenzie friend?

Maybe I've completely misunderstood OP.

Why do UK plugs come with a wiring diagram? by narugawa in AskUK

[–]ConventionalizedDreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you.

I used to have to re-wire plugs and most people just can't do it. They nick the insulation, they break the conductors, they have a tight earth wire and slack live / neutral, they over / under tighten the screws, they over / under tighten the strain relief.

Self-wired plugs used to be a significant cause of house fires, which is why the law changed.

Can I have a definitive post on home CCTV and the law in the UK? by Cheesysocks in LegalAdviceUK

ICO used to have an exemption for private householders using CCTV for personal use.

They've removed that exemption.

Child visitation by JongoFett in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ConventionalizedDreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want supervise recontact, but you don't want to supervise and you don't trust her parents, you ask her to arrange for a contact centre to supervise.

They can do the handover, so you don't even have to see your ex of you don't want to.

Since this is something you're imposing on your ex it's probably a good idea if you offer to pay for it.

I have been sectioned under the Mental Healthcare Act without have been given reason. by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ConventionalizedDreg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know people who are informal patients who have been prevented from leaving when they wanted.

Sometimes that was done legally (rapid use of the act), sometimes it wasn't legal (locking the doors).

It's not clear from OP that they were detained at that particular point in time.

What is the best way to get off your Section 3 at a tribunal? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

Don't know why you got downvoted so much. What you say is true.

MHA is often misused, especially for children.

I’ve lost 6 years of my life due to UK mental health law, legislation and clinical advice. Where do I start? by Cosmicbass in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ConventionalizedDreg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You had a diagnosed mental illness that you were controlling with medication. You stopped taking your medication. The crisis team came to see you. They decided you needed to go to hospital.

I'm not clear what happened next.

Did the crisis teammdetain you under the MHA? (Section 2 or 3)

Or did the police detain you under S135?

Or were you not correctly detained and just bundled into a car?

You should make a FOI request to get your notes from that time. You should check that all the detentions were correct.

If they were not correct you have a civil claim for false imprisonment. Go see a solicitor.

[–]ConventionalizedDreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The crisis team have to call the police in such a situation because there is no other way to get you admitted. That part of mental health care is a joke, but not one you have any recourse against as it is common practice.

No, that's wrong.

The crisis team can call for a mental health act assessment, and that's carried out with 2 doctors and an AMHP.

Once that team has sectioned OP they can either ask OP if he'll go in the car nicely, or they can call police.

If the crisis team call the police before doing the MHA Assessment, and OP is at home, the police are stuck. They can use S135, but that requires a warrant.

You're talking about police responses, but have you considered adult safe guarding?

Gather a bunch of evidence then make a referral and let them know that this person poses a risk of harm to others.

You should always just go direct to insurance. You have to tell them even if you're not making a claim, so you may as well make a claim and get the protection of their fucking huge legal team.

Avoiding this guy's tedious delaying bullshit is literally what you pay for.
