I will have a look for that petition and will sign it. I hate the way this country treats people with mental health problems, it’s just not on at all. Good luck with it !

[Angel533 in reply to hopeful_7]

Thankyou 😊 ,Hopefully it will get a lot of signatures and they will start treating us fairly x

I don’t know how they sleep at night really. It would be good if you could put a link on here if it’s allowed or just give the full title of the petition.

Good luck !

[Angel533 in reply to hopeful_7]

I wouldn't have a clue how to put the link on? I will look now though and get back to you with the full title 😊

They seem to work on a point system for your condition, or your daughters. They also contact your GP and ask for an explanation of your health problem. I feel sorry for you although the system is so very strict. All I can suggest is you get a diagnosis and possible treatment. You are not alone in your quest there will be many on site who will feel the same way

[Angel533 in reply to Hidden]

I have recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Yes many feel the same way,I've seen so many post on hear from people with mental health problems,fibromyalgia and other health problems who are all being fobbed off,it was in the paper's recently that it's pot luck who gets to go on pip and who does not.

[Hidden in reply to Angel533]

I herd somewhere where you need about seventeen points for PIP.

You need to discuss the number of points you may have with your GP.

There is I think an age restriction of sixty four, anything above that cannot get PIP

The rules change all the time, you need to seek advice from CAB to discuss your rights and if there are any other benefits that may be available

hello angel so sorry to hear of this . i am new here and this is the first post i have read. i'm not sure why they make people go on jobseekers, it makes no sense. i know of someone who is not well mentally or physically and they told her she was capable of working and that she had to go on jobseekers, in the end she had to go to court over this.

[Angel533 in reply to Bluemoon5]

I get the impression that they just don't care about the vulnerable,I wish that wasn't the case but I've heard of so many people going through the same thing.
