Hi this is totally wrong isn't it? PIP was only set up to try and save money by introducing a difficult criteria, and wasn't actually changed to help the sick. So we all suffer. x

So so true our lives already hard enough 😠

Well they think most people are scamming! But the amount of PIP money they are having to pay out shows they aren't. Many give up which to the powers that be is proof that it has successfully weeded out those who are 'cheating' the system. x

Please persevere OK? I have had constant barriers placed in front of me, there is a worldwide philosophy by all government personnel at all levels, especially the career academics and the paper shufflers, that is to 'stone wall' you long enough to make you give up and go away! I just keep ringing, until they get annoyed with me, and put resources into getting me fixed up and gone. REMEMBER it's your life you are fighting for, not just your job.

Sadly both PIP and ESA are a lottery in regard to results. To be fair both my wife's and my own reports were accurate and we both were successful. I have helped a number of local people and sadly their results were not so straight forward. In my opinion their medical reports were fairly accurate. However the DWP decision makers scoring was very poor.

in reply toBadbessie

Thought mine was but assessors inaccurate in their points scoring dismissing what they could of awarded me points for just so I wouldn't get it surly if we all got awarded dla indefinitely pip should be illegal !!!!!!

It's a disgrace how they treat people.

I hope things work out for you.

Don’t give up Kc, my mandatory reconsider was also turned down but I’ve just posted my appeal. I also thought about giving up and that’s the first time I’ve ever thought about throwing the towel in BUT I don’t like being called a liar and having my integrity questioned so decided to appeal. I got some help from CAB and disability first had said they’d help when I phoned them re reconsider but they didn’t have a spare advisor available in the three week lead time so I did the appeal myself.

I put down in writing what I think I should’ve scored and why and I’m hoping to get a doctors letter next week to back up my case. I’m not just doing it for me but for all the people who’ve been unfairly rejected, it’ll get recorded and not just filed as ‘failed claimant’ = scammer!!! Humph!
