To dob in family member - benefits

[Dragonsfoot]

I have a relative that does have health problems. They went to tribunal and were awarded higher rate PIP and have a motorbility car apparently supported by a Rottweiler of an advocate. I have no gripe that they deserve something - occasional falls, mild mental health problems, physical health problems that require monitoring and support and mild difficulties dressing themselves due to joint problems but don’t actually need to be helped. They do have a disability.

However, they are able to walk miles most of the time, decorate their home, complete domestic tasks and attend social activities on a very regular basis on foot. Morally torn. They probably will struggle without the money. Would DWP even do anything kind of thing. Either way I feel a bad person.

Do them a favour and stay away.

This.

I think OP came here wanting people to validate what she was saying, and instead her arse has been rightfully handed to her.

It is just another benefit bashing thread. We can see right through them.

He would have moved over to attendance allowance probably.

Not being deliberately goady. It’s just something I and others have felt for a long time within the family. Many of us work in the health field and wonder how on earth it was awarded when we see what they can do. I have similar issues with dressing myself but like them, can do it.

People don't move to Attendance Allowance at pension age if they are already on PIP.

Sooty, if you are on PIP before retirement age, it continues after retirement age.

Get a life

Thanks.

Thank you.

Drip feed !

Give it up OP and go to bed.

Well why haven’t you and your martyr family members got together and reported them already? If there’s multiple people in agreement?

Why?

What were you hoping from by posting this thread anyway?

I’m a ‘her’ am I? I’m absolutely not bashing the benefit. I think it’s great for people who can’t walk miles, can’t lug furniture, can’t do heavy gardening can’t dress themselves and do domestic activities. They can.

Keep your nose out of other people’s business and spend some time working out what’s going so wrong in your own life to make you so bitter and spiteful towards someone else. I just couldn’t be arsed to care about this. A court ruled she is entitled to it and I doubt you know enough to judge fully so leave her be.

So have any of these family members, including you, told this relative what you think, or do you just chunter behind their back?

Leave them along FGS they clearly have proven enough are you jealous

Have you thought of becoming a pip assessor?

I think he might be.

Fucking hell, the vast vast majority of posters on here are women, so if I have mis-gendered you then accept my apologies, but that is a distraction from the real issue here.

I know people on PIP who do all those things, but they can't do them all of the time... safely, repeatedly and reliably.

Are you them?!
No. So you haven't a clue what they go through.
They do have health problems
So leave them alone then! FFS

😂 fabulous ..they know how this relative copes through the night that they only fall a few times a year …they’d have an impressive rejection rate ..presumably all those terminally ill people who are denied it

This is why i tell NO ONE i get pip.

PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. You canwork FT and still qualify. If you're going to judge people you know nothing about, at least educate yourself on the topic you are judging them on.

'Proportionality' is not your call to make.

You honestly sound unhinged.

Mind your own business. What on earth is going on (or not) in your own life that this is such a concern for you?

”Most of the family think it wasn’t appropriate.” Why do you and the family think it was APPROPRIATE to be discussing someone’s financial arrangements?
This is exactly why people should not be discussing their finances with anyone.

Yeah, i dont blame you!
