hi im new to this site looking for some help. I have been diagnosed 3 year ago with complete heart block cardio myopathy andcronic heart failure and also had pacemaker fitted. last September my condition deteriated quite badly which resulted in me being fitted with new crt pacemaker. I was on PIP from last july so I informed them of my change of circumstances.AFTER waiting almost 14 weeks from informing them I phoned yesterday to be told that I was being taken off it completely as I no longer qualify with my symtoms and a letter will be sent out which I can appeal .CAN anyone tell me if they have any similar experiences WITH PIP and appeal outcome im stunned by their decision.
