they did me but it depends, either way they will tell you on the day the decision or when you will receive the decision letter.

Well done, I didn’t have the strength to appeal it

I know what you mean, I nearly didn't go through with it. I had applied twice before and couldn't make it to tribunal because of the stress, but on 3rd time applying it was my last opportunity (before reaching age 65) and I discovered its routine to turn people down, its an unfair procedure, only going to appeal stage do you actually get a fair hearing. Its the most awful, long term stress experience for people who need to try and be stress free. The way some of the assessors treat some people is criminal, bullying, belittling, its bad enough just having to face up to how difficult things are without being disrespected by a 2 bit physio trained just to be employed by PIP to assess people unfairly. Its disgusting.

It’s so so sad, gone are the good old days when you were believed

Agree with you about the bullying & belittling.... it’s a world with live in .

They don’t care what & how we are living

It’s not our fault we have this condition

I have a few. Last week after lung function test got told I couldn’t be seen until January 2019 . Standing there in so much pain I just replied I rather be dead & burst out crying.

Then bless her she made a call it’s now November.

My next hospital visit is this month after making a phone call do you have a cancellation!!!

You take care
