A “DISTURBING” benefits assessment with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) left an MSP feeling “sick” after a staff member repeatedly asked “judgemental” questions about her family member’s disability, she has told The National.
SNP MSP Karen Adam was speaking to the DWP as part of a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment for a family member who is unable to look after themselves.
Her relative had been receiving the benefit – which helps with living costs if you have a long-term health condition – for seven years after being diagnosed as neurodivergent.
