PIP assessment tomo feeling anxious
Posted , 5 users are following.
i have my PIP assessment tomo feeling really anxious about it as last time I ended up having to go to appeal and the stress of it was unreal.
I have my mother going with me for support and I know how sneaky these assessors are. I know for my previous assessment they ask you to do physical things I.e bend down move fingers etc. Can you point blank refuse because your in pain?
Anyone have any useful tips? And typical things they are going to ask as I can not really remember from my last assessment.
Thank you

Hi anni, I am so sorry to hear that ??. What you need to do now is ask for a mandatory reconsideration. Do not do this without seeing the assesors report. You must ring up and ask for this then when you get it you can go through it and see what points you have been awarded and for what. Also try to get some more evidence from somewhere. If that fails then you must take it to appeal. Write a long letter when you get the report explaining why you think you should have been awarded pip against their decision. Good luck and don't give up, a lot win when taken to appeal. Love and prayers.

Thank you Michelle,
literally in tears. I have already started the process and have a case worker calling me within 24 hours to discuss what I feel I should of been awarded.
I have lost my award from 6th July and now only been given 4 points. I have been to tribunal last time and won. So I know this is possible. I have requested the report of the assessor. I just can't believe how they can ignore and lie. Even there decision letter makes me no sense.
I I wrote and told my assessor I struggle to cook and my mother does this. In my decision makers reasoning. " I can manage to prepare a meal"
and becusse i lifted my arm which I struggled with I can dress and undress and I told the assessor I could not bend down as I would not be able to get back up... Awarded 0 for dressing and undressing.
they find any little way!!! They are messing with people's lives. I relied on that money and now have to try and work out how to manage with the money when I was just making ends meet as it is. Xx

Must be bad news Friday really sorry to hear that. I will have to take my run around off the road now and become further Immobile than I am now as Iv got to find cuts which will affect my sons schooling as I use this only to take him there and to go to my mums house. His school is too far to walk and the DWP have just removed me of this. How can they sleep at night. All they are after is cutting the deficit.
the DWP rang and said I need to file a reconsideration. Which I knew and said my claim probably wasn't successful as I have not got an up to date letter ( last one 10 months ago) but that's because nothing's changed. I said to her it's all about cuts and the government cutting the vulnerable and that we as individuals are ill enough and struggling to cope and to be put through a invasive medical the stress of the wait for the brown envelope to say no sorry we are taking away your independence even more I am so upset this evening keep bursting into tears with worry. I know need to postitivr but in the mean time that isn't going to pay the bills. ??

Thank you trisha I am feeling a bit more positive this morning. It's so so bad to have money taken away which I clearly deserve and should have. I am going to my doctors and getting a letter stating my condition remains the same and has no changed and to confirm all my details.
I am am also going to write a massive letter arguing everything I just hope this is enough. Do you have any tips for the reconsideration stage I havnt covered already?
