We hear on a daily basis from our service users that this is their experience of being assessed both for PIP & ESA. The assessment process is not fit for purpose.

Due to the large number of clients attending the morning 'drop in' sessions, we now feel they have become unsustainable. On a regular basis we have clients queuing anything up to an hour before opening,we regularly are having to turn clients away or they are having to wait up to 2 hours to be seen. To avoid this we have taken the decision to introduce an appointment only system. Please contact the DIRC on 0121 382 6660 for more information and to book an appointment. Thank you

There will be no 'Drop In' sessions held at Lisieux Trust Disability Information Resource Centre on the following days: Friday 30th June or Monday 3rd July thank you
