Why the DWP Feels Like a Courtroom Not a Lifeline

Why the DWP Feels Like a Courtroom, Not a Lifeline

🧠 AI Processing Reality...

You walk in hoping for help — but the moment you sit down, it feels like a trial.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) should be a **lifeline for the vulnerable**. Instead, it operates like a legal inquisition — where the **default assumption is doubt**, not compassion. It's not welfare — it’s warfare.

⚖️ Innocent Until Proven Disabled

When your truth becomes a statistic, your pain is put on trial. And the burden of proof? Placed squarely on those too exhausted to fight.

For many, **PIP assessments, sanctions, and letters** cause panic attacks, not peace of mind. What should be support becomes **psychological punishment** — slow, silent, and state-sanctioned.

🩺 Systems Built for Delay, Not Relief

Most don’t want handouts — they want dignity. But the system tests your resilience instead of validating your need. A single mistake on a form can cost you months. A forgotten word in a phone call can lead to review.

💥 Made2Master Insight:

If a system designed to protect you makes you sicker — it’s not broken. It’s working **against you** by design. We must challenge narratives that label survival as laziness and silence as evidence.
