Don't worry my lovely. If they have stopped a previous claim then just make sure they think you have deteriorated. PIP is paid to help you pay for assistance with things you cannot manage. An idea that I got from my sister when she fought for PIP for me, she emphasised how much she was struggling to look after me, how she desperately needed help and she emphasised that she needed help to pay somebody to stay with me so she could have a break. I did have two broken legs at the time and my Bipolar was out of control. Don't forget to say all the bits I told you, even if it makes you feel silly, remember you will probably never see that person again so it really doesn't matter. Make sure you look, at Roper, Logan and Tierny's 12 activities of living because these are the basic functions that as a human being we must be able to do to survive. As I said to you before, I have accompanied many patients to these assessments and coached people on what to say. Go in there with the belief that you are entitled to this benefit and you need it to improve your quality of life. Keep mentioning how poor your quality of life is, because that is really important. I wish you so much luck, everybody who has experienced what we have deserves this benefit. I have full faith in you and you will be in my thoughts. Make sure you let me know how you get on x

Good luck my friend,

Vikki

Don’t worry please.

You can’t expect a dentist to perform an MOT and you WILL get everything owed to you

The appeals board are NOT the DWP and therefore it’s not in their interest to make sure you lose

It took two appeals and 18 myths but finally in my favour
