Am I assuming they have turned you down? If so give yourself some breathing space and rest before you make a decision whether to fight it or not. Hope you can get a good nights rest and things might not seem so bleak in the morning. Hugs, soft ones of coursex

Hi Ros

I am so sorry to hear that you were turned down for your PIP. Hopefully when you are feeling a little stronger you can take them on and have another try?

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hi viv they said they'll try and contact me tomorrow

Oh Ros I am sorry, call them and ask for a copy of your medical assessment to see if there is anything on it that you disagree with . go through your letter with a fine tooth comb, is there any thing there that doesnt seem right . Think, is there any thing that you may have missed out, even something stupid like having to use an electric tin opener.

Then if you get no luck from the phone call go to the CAB and ask if they can help.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do, but dont forget if you want them to look at it again you only have 28 days, after that you have no choice but go to a tribunal.

Lots of gentle hugs sue xx Take care my friend.

it always worth looking at what they have said and very often they have missed things out that could of made a difference. I supplied consultants letters that they did not even mention and they could not use the excuse it was after the claim date!

Be Well

RA is flaring at the mo.

A little tip if you go to a consultant ask to be cc'd in the letter to the doctor that will give you all the info the doc would have and it costs nothing ;)

in reply to vixen49

Hi again Ros, The 23rd of sept was probably the date that you phoned them to ask for a form.That is the date that they take it from and not the date that you send the form back, Hope this helps to clear things up.

Hi Vixen,

I am not exooperience enough, but I am sure if you have local fibrogroup leader there in your area plus a letter from your gp stated your condition, that normally will help you to support your claim when you attach it to your claim.

Dont give up, wait another 1 or 2 days and retry.

GoodLuck
