I am applying for PIP. So worried with what I am reading about the process

Posted , 12 users are following.

I wonder if anyone can help please. I have sent forms back for transition from DLA to the dreaded PIP and wonder what the time scales are? they received forms on Friday just gone 25 Nov 2016. The irony is that my new car is waiting for me at the garage and Ive said to hold it as it is not worth me paying for it then losing it! I was on high rate DLA...such a cruel and horribly stressful thing the way this government have changed the rules! When they said indefiite DLA i thought at least it was one less thing to worry about...alas it was not meant to be for so many of us. I think it is sad the way people are too upset and stressed to apply for PIP and how so many are failing to get an award! And the lies being told on reports? How do the assessors get away with it? Surely it is illegal and fraudulent on the assessors part?

?Can I get help on the time scale from forms being received to the next stage please? Any good success stories? Or has everyone had a bad tme re applying for PIP?

?Thank you, I have so many diagnoses I seriously cant list them all and on 6 pages of repeat meds and see numberous amounts of specialists for nearly every body part!

?Thank you in advance

    Hi all,

    I have deleted all of the off topic/argumentative posts from this discussion. I would have acted sooner but have been busy. If there are any posts that need my attention or any user is causing issues can I ask that you use the Report link or send me a PM to let me know rather than carrying on debates etc. I don't read all posts so rely on you to let me know if things are getting out of hand. Once reported I will take appropriate action. I hope this can go back to a normal discussion but let me know if anyone has any queries (via PM, don't reply here and take it off topic again).

    Regards,

    Alan

    UPDATE UPDATE

    ?Oh well smiling assasin was she!!!

    The absolute discrepencies and blatant lies in the report are unbelievable!!!

    ?Apparently Im mentally fine and have not had any of my meds changed for 5 years? There has apparently been no psychiatric input?? Even tho i had to be seen as emergency about 2 mnths ago because of what i did and wont discuss on here.... Also if i was lost Id get in tocuh with my son to collect me?? Hes autistic and how he wud collect me i have no idea? also I get on with my family as they are so supportive?? Really?? Aparently my IBS is totaly under control and I see no specialist for that?? I can go into supermarket but have to stop at end of every aisle?? I have no memory loss and there is no evidence of blackouts?? Last one im lucky i didnt drown as I could of blocked the plug hole but according to this ''expert'' it didnt happen?? Seemingly she knows everything about my numerous diagnoses and knows more than all the specialists ive seen in the last 18 years?? she must be an absoulte genius as she knew all this in the 45 minutes she saw me??

    Because of her lies i have now been reduced to low PIP on bith components...in fact DWP over ruled her thoughts that i should get NO care component??

    ?So now it for appeals and tribunals and yet even more horrible stress!!!!

    GREAT EH !!!!

    ?such a civilised wnderful country we live in!!!!
