they really don't respect the time of disabled people. your application can take up to 12 weeks. the specialist waitlist is 3 years. your assessment will be any time within the next 6 months. let us know if you cannot attend this appointment you waited 7 weeks for and we'll reschedule next year. we've decided to assess you at this time and day and you have to be available or any support you dared to apply for is not going to happen. and in between these long bouts of waiting you have to survive the everyday
Closely related is "Well you CAN do (thing), so what if it takes you three hours and requires another four hours of recovery, when for an abled person it would be a 15-minute task at most? Why do you think you deserve to be treated differently??", or "Well you just have to understand and wait another 3 days for your prescription to be filled... Yes I know that means cancelling your plans and skipping work, and being in pain for the whole time, but You Just Have To Cope" (whilst holding the form in their hand and refusing to just make the two-second phone call to authorise).
