Capita's PIP Assesor Challenges Claimant's Son to a Fight

UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT - A PIP assessor working for Capita allegedly challenged a claimant’s son to a fight, damaged her home and laughed at her account of wanting to end her life.

Cheryl Matthews from Cardiff told the assessor that she had been in so much pain she had begged her GP for pills to allow her to take her own life.

But, Cheryl says, the assessor just laughed and said “Irrelevant, irrelevant, irrelevant”.

Cheryl’s 22 year old son heard the alleged increasingly disrespectful exchanges with his mother and asked the assessor to leave.

It is claimed the assessor then pushed Cheryl’s son and said: “You want a fight do you mate? I can give you a fight."

As he left the house Cheryl says the assessor kicked a safety gate at the front door across the garden and threatened: “"I'll be back for you mate - clearly you want a fight."

The police are currently investigating the allegations.

Capita immediately suspended the assessor and offered Cheryl compensation.
