I know a few people who have said exactly the same thing too...they also appealed, and were found by the tribunal to be unfit for work. The tribunal panel DOES actually have a qualified doctor on it. This makes a hell of a difference IMO.

well mental issues are always difficult to assess. You're mostly having to go by what the patient tells you. Which could be lies.

So just as its easy to not read a persons illness its also easy for a claimant to lie and exaggerate how bad they are. Even with people who have issues being around lots of people they could still do many other jobs that are solitary or not around lots of people. They should train towards doing these jobs instead of just labelling them selves totally incapable of working. Which they are not. Many people even work online.
