PIP Appeal

66 replies

benoticanarsed · 20/09/2023 11:09

2018 started PIP Claim

Awarded 2 points
MR still 2 points

2019 Appeal gave me 16 points - lowest £23 odd a week

Couple more diagnosis since. Medication increased. Non of original illnesses have improved.

2022
Informed DWP of changes .

They took away all my points. Had MR, no change.

Appeal was this morning.

DWP hadn't sent me a 245 page document so it was cancelled.

Could cry. I'm not entitled to any other money and can't work, my heads friend.

I don't know what I'm asking I just wanted to tell someone.

Oh and I asked CAB for advice last time. They asked for my documents. I sent 800 off. They didn't help me. They sent them back the day OF my appeal to the wrong house number and postcode.

Well there is the Autistic society they could help you. Also .Mind can help you any local mental health charity will advocate for you and help you. You seem to have lots of evidence of your conditions so not everything has to be "an illness" do you have a CPN?

If they think you can work in the future, you'll be put in the work related group. If they think there's no realistic chance of you working you'd be put in the support group.

You don't get an extra money for the work related group and contributions based work group lasts for one year.

You'll need a fit note from your GP.

Who cancelled the hearing and how long do you have to wait for the next?

Do you have a specialist nurse for your mental health or sleep apnea- someone who helps with any of your medical conditions who could support your claim?
