PIP assessment lies

Hi 

I have a spinal cord injury and was indefinite DLA in 2010.

I was told just after Christmas I need to make a claim for PIP as DLA aid ending. I have done all this and had a F2F. I’ve not had a decision yet but have requested the assessors report which I received yesterday.

The report is completely wrong and basically lies about virtually everything.

According to the assessor she awarded me 6 point so daily living and 6 points on mobility. I provided 7 letters form my various health professionals which support my disability and I have a disability for life and will get worse as I get older. 

If the decision maker goes by the assessor I will lose my PIP altogether. I’m trying to find out if the assessors decision will be based on the report or will he/she take into account the medical letters?

I also suffer from mental health issues and this is just another thing on top of everything else going on at the moment. 

Any advice would be great.

Many thanks

    Hi again 

    Another update

    After Imthe MR I asked for an appeal for the length of the award. Had alettee from the courts last week that they’ve received all the paperwork and what to expect. Received a letter from DWP today and the awards has been increased to 10 years. I am so happy and I can honestly say without your advice and support I would’ve struggled. Your advice was fantastic and I hope my situation inspires people to fight back too.
