I have been living on a meagre benefit since March 2020, but on 13th January 2021 my PIP benefit was stopped, [probably thought we can save a bit of money here everybody has covid?] they altered the 'goal posts' I at the time was ok, living inside doing nothing, spending practically nothing, but I will now have to spend until July 2021, before I can even appeal for PIP. I am a claustrophobic, my health is bad enough, my various health conditions fill a A4 page, [so will not bore the readers!] I was looking forward to getting out, my 2nd jab is 27th April [1st 9th February], so now I will have to wait for July before I can even apply for PIP let alone even get it, I cannot afford to go outside the house! My GP thought it was a disgrace I was taken off PIP in the first place. I cannot stand another six months in isolation, I have been unfit for work since 2013, I am 64 but if I can survive, will be 65 probably lying in a hospital ward permanently! It will isolation from March 2020 to at least July 2021 for a claustrophobic????
