    I am going through this right now and having been awarded two years back in May due to having told them I had had shoulder surgery and having a reassessment at home they decided to stop my PIPS as I failed by one point. Absolutely ridiculous that when I could drive , was on permitted dork etc I got 12 points back in May. Now I cannot drive , have been out into.the support group with ESA cannot work they have stopped it. I ring them very day for updates and have also escalated it . That are a serious bunch of bureaucratic bullies the DWP. What is so stupid is that ESA and PIPS are not related although the DWP run both of them!!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?@?#*&/$*-:#*#&#,#*#?#

      I just don't understand how they can send a letter stating they have all the evidence yet still having trouble making decision.

      I'm a town councillor and school governor for my sins (both are unpaid I might mention) Yet the hours that I spend on both every week far exceed the hours I worked when in full time employment before I retired.

      The DWP are a law unto themselves - short staffed at the 'pithead' but money is found for the telephone call centres. 

      If I was to act in the way that the DWP do in not getting on with the job in hand in a timely manner, not only would the school probably end up being put into Special Measures, but I would have a queue a mile long at my front door of angry residents of my ward!!

      What a way to run a country - MP's should get back to doing what they used to do in industry - banking, law etc and town and district councillors should be elevated to the House of Commons - they would get things running properly - at no cost to the country may I add!!
