Hi

Please don't take any tablets. Can you argue your case about pip? (Sorry can't remember what the next stage is called)

Please take care. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[Lozzy64 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Lynn i love my daughter she needs me, just tired of being knocked back,it makes you feel like doing it, i think its called mandatory consideration xx

[FRreedman in reply to Lozzy64]

First thing in the morning, phone your GO and ask for an urgent appointment. Second thing phone DEL and ask for mandatory reconsideration, and follow that phone call with a letter. (Don't forget to ask the name of the person you spoke to on the phone). In the letter just say Dear Sir, Re: (your name, date of birth and N.I. number). I am confirming my telephone conversation, today with ( name of person) requesting a MR of my award for PIP.

[Lozzy64 in reply to FRreedman]

I fave to wait for letter to do a Mr, i was planning on doing a letter to go with it, definitely seeing doctor

[FRreedman in reply to Lozzy64]

Yes, that's fine but remember there is a time limit for requesting a MR ( GO=GP DEL=DWP) in first response. Flipping predictive text.

[Lozzy64 in reply to FRreedman]

I found that out this morning nice man already put it through for me n they haven't even sent letter out to tell me so he asked asked for one also asked for assessment report

[Lozzy64 in reply to Hidden]

I don’t know how it works as I have not applied for pip. But please don’t take any tablets. Go to the cab and talk to someone about this. Nothing is worth taking tablets and going to sleep. Sending you a big hug 🤗 xx

[Lozzy64 in reply to Jeep2000]

Thank you Jeep i wont my daughter needs me, i don't like going out n to many people do you think cab could come out to me xx

So sorry to hear about your pip decision.... The benefits system as we know is a total nightmare, and there is just no rhyme or reason to how decisions are made.

Some cab offices can arrange a home visit (depends on whether they have funds to cover it). Also, if you contact Janet on our benefits helpline she can send you information on appealing the decision. (0300 999 0055 Mon & Fri 10.00-12.00)

Hugs, and know that you are not alone in dealing with this. I know its difficult when you are feeling so low, but try not to let it drag your mood any lower and talk to someone if you need to. Xxx

[YASMINTINA FMA UK Volunteer]

Morning differently take the advice from hazel Angelstar and ring the helpline, sorry to read of this but keep trying , yes your daughter does need you , mums are a very important part of our life’s and our best friends sending you some hugs let us know how you get on xxxx

Times are changing! We are all suffering in different ways, you are not alone. Please don’t take any tablets. Try to not stress it will only make your symptoms worse and when you have the energy appeal your pip decision. It will pass and you will feel better. Take care xxx

[aud01]

That’s bad ... I got asked at my pip if I knew what my tablets are for .... I said kind of . I take this for this and that but I’ve got 3 new ones since my mini strokes and have no clue what they do for me .... so hopefully she can see that my depression causes me not to know what I take ... she said what happens if I forget what tablets to take I said I dunno to be fair .. I know I take 9 tablets in the morning so if my daughter doesn’t make up my box I am left to count out 9 and hope it the right ones ...

Make sure you appeal ... xx

Hi im on 8 tranadol 30mg of amitriptyline and citalopram tablets for stomach an something else i take 9 tablets every night 6 tramadol in day plus paracetamol, iv just text n emailed my mp, see if he can help hoping for a response, i have attempted suicide in past even had to go to hospital for overdose, they don't care about people with mental health im constantly in pain body and mind

[Louinpain]

Please dont do that, your life is far to special to those who know and love you. Ask for a reconsideration and speak to cab for advice and support. Remember everyone on here is here to support you and each other. Hang on in there. Sending you my love xxx

[Lozzy64 in reply to Louinpain]

thank you, im waiting for a call of doctor just rang them in tears not coping, im in such a mess without my pip i lose my premium to , i have a iva which now i cant pay for, which means debts will go to bailiffs, iv been on low rate DLA since 94 i had reassessment 4 yes ago for arthritis and back, i was diagnosed this ye with fibro depression n anxiety and lost my pip but passed my ESA with no medical, i cant see no way out , can see why people kill themselves cause of DWP they are cruel , it angers me cause i know people fiddle system i was honest n failed, the assessment woman asked me nothing about my fibro or mental health got me to stand on one leg which i had to hold on to door

[Louinpain in reply to Lozzy64]

I do understand how frustrating and unfair the whole system is. When i applied for pip i had to wait 8 months for a home assessment of which they failed to turn up twice!! Then when i finally had assessment i was denied and scored 0. Had mandatory reconsideration and got awarded low rate mobilty... what an absolute joke. I went to tribunal and won!! The judge was really nice and fair. The whole ordeal made me really ill but i kept up the fight as i didnt want them to beat me. I honestly believe they deliberately make the whole ordeal so horrific in the hope we just give up. So please get all the help and support you need but keep fighting them. Good luck xxx

[Lozzy64 in reply to Louinpain]

Its making me feel very ill n i get enough pain as it is my mental state isn't good, just had enough of knock backs

[Lozzy64]

[WF2k]

Fight them! Don't let them win!

I'm going through something myself with these silly people, I was awarded PIP in 2014 pretty much based on my MH with 8 of the points being in moving around, I had 18 points in mobility and 18 in daily living.. I had an assessment in April 2019, my son asked for the report, the assessor has done nothing but contradict himself and tell porkies, he's more or less claiming I don't have MH problems, even says it doesn't sate anything in the HOC (history of conditions) but when my Son checked the HOC it stated both my anxiety and depression and that I'd been diagnosed by a psychiatrist etc. The assessment was recorded with permission as well.

The 18 points I had in each are now 8 points in each.. if the DM doesn't notice these discrepancies then he/she is just as bad as the assessor.

Please don't give up, try and get some help from an advice centre in your area if you have one, but don't like these people win. Don't let the b words grind you down.

[Lozzy64]

Surprise surprise today i got my pip assessment report no mention at all of depression and anxiety, and they haven't requested notes from doctor, ESA did , assessment woman even got medication wrong , said i was dressed appropriately I was in Panama's
