pip

[rpb20003]

I have ankylosing spondylitis I had to put in a new claim because I had 3 changes one was I have to inject my self with humira every two weeks and have blood test every month and because I need to use a walking aid they said I cant have my pip because they say I can walk 200 meters witch I cant I'm in pain every day the health person that came out to see me took 15mins to right my report he said I take heart pills for blood pressure which I don't it is so annoying the way they treat disable people

Hi there the first thing to do is appeal and keep doing it until they overturn their decision , it's a disgrace the way they treat people and they are told to fail people at the first attempt so people don't bother and saves them money to waste on other things

In any situation these days pester like mad until they give in and tell them you have paid your dues and want a return

It is all about points I got pip for all the things I have to help with having psoriatic arthritis and OA . I also have COPD I was awarded standard for both. It's all about filling the form in right using the right words. I got help from the CAB with my form . And I don't have a walking stick at the moment . But I am waiting for one .
