Just had my letter from PIP was refused the benifit and was scored 0 on every single question!!
How many people has actually won there case if they appeal against it?
Feel more and more forced and pressured to go back to work full time when I physically can't!
I would appeal it's a disgrace the way this Tory government treats people who are struggling and ask citizen advise if they can help or phone up health unlocked and speak to a advisor hope you get on ok
I know i cant believe it, didn't think it would actually be this hard to claim for benefits sick people are entitled too, they have there morals all completely wrong.
Appeal, appeal and appeal again. I had to go through 3 appeals and then still lost but went from zero points to 7 in daily living and 4 in mobility. Then when I reapplied with up to date evidence (lots of it!) I won. I will warn you, it takes time and lots of people give up.
PIP is a nightmare but you need to make sure you have representation (it's free) and get help to complete any forms etc.
On a side note: PIP can be claimed whether or not you are working as it's for all disabled people affected doing daily activities or with mobility issues. If you cannot work then ESA and other supports like housing benefit etc are what you -also need to claim. Please make sure to take legal advice and get a benefits check done.
All the best x
So sorry to hear that. I would appeal. Don't let them get away with it.
I'm waiting to hear from them and I am not hopeful. Even though I was awarded D lA for life. It's so stressful. I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you! Will be sending off my appeal form the weekend xx
Hi Leanne,
Get yourself over to the website benefitsandwork and they have guides online that take you through the process of appealing. You do have to pay £20 for membership but their advice is valuable for anyone on benefits.
They also help you complete the many forms that they send out as well as how to do the face to face assessments, and what they look for.
You need to copy all your hospital letters that back up your health story and send it with a letter explaining how your illness affects you day to day and what you are unable to do etc. That will then be a big chunk towards your appeal.
Good luck.
Xxx
Get help from your local Welfare Rights officer (from your local council) to help you with the appeal forms. All the best. xx🙏🏽💐
