Hello,

I used this organisation when I successfully renewed by PIP last year.

benefitsandwork.co.uk/perso...

Citizens Advice can also help.

Good luck.

Well done for persevering. Use Benefits and work ( link below) in future- well worth joining. Did you tell them you were in hospital or did he hospital tell them? I never bother; the hassle just isn't worth it. I assume you won the tribunal; that usually happens. DWP are evil . I swear they do it just to either get people to give up or to kill them off.

Sadly this situation has come about because too many people try to get PIP when they do not really qualify. Wearing my other hat quite a few obese people with Type II diabetes try for PIP when that is all that is wrong with them. If they have other complications/conditions they may well be entitled. The problem is the process itself is seriously flawed. As a taxpayer I do not want my taxes going to the work shy, etc.

frankmcfadyen sorry you had to go through that - as I said the process is seriously flawed!
