Hi everyone, i hope you're all doing ok (as ok as you can be). i'll say sorry now as this may get lengthy and shouty, but i had my pip descision yesterday which basically scored me 0 points not 1 point was given, as you can imagine i was pretty shocked to say the least as in the form itself they use a dosette box as an example of an aid (which i use as i forget meds) but i still didn't get 1 point...NOT 1!!!!... i didn't read anymore of the letter as i was too annoyed. Any how this evening i have read the rest and the reasons why they came to their descision... WELL!!! what can i say, what a load of utter rubbish,lies and down right bull crap.. according to my assessor i have full range of movement,can bath myself fully without any aid (i use a chair in the shower and can't use the bath at all). i can take meds without help ect.. and get this i'm not on any medication for my anxiety which is basically an out right lie.(which of course i can prove).. this is just a few of the statements the assessor has made faulsely.. i am so mad right now i have brought on symptoms but i have to get this out somewhere or i think my head might explode.. HOW DO THESE PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT!!!... how are they allowed to lie like this.. i mean the 2 biggest points the assessor lied about i can prove otherwise in writing so i don't understand why they would even try it.. even though some of what was said in their report i can't prove it's my word against theirs but proving 2 major points are lies should at least give reasonable doubt over the rest of it (i hope).. i am ringing in the morning to ask for a mandatory reconsideration and ask them to send me all the paperwork that was used to make their descision and to ask them to not take anymore action on my claim till i have had chance to go through everthing and i will put my request in writing to include all corrections and proof's that the assessor has grossly misreprisented my condition and ability.

 sorry again for my ranting.. comments welcome.

HAPPY XMAS.

    Hi gill50535 What has happened to you is disgusting. My heart goes out to you some of these assessor are heartless and just dont give a dam. I had my reassessment on thursday she was a right cow. She did everything to trip me up in my answears. My anxiety stress were through the roof I ended up in floods of tears. Im sick of how we are treated by people. call our nation a caring nation umm thats questionable. I would get your mp involved I would fight this all the way. I would even put the story in my local paper. I would cause such a stink they wouldnt know what had hit them the lieing b Im so angry over the lies that were told and the tratment of you.frown take care  Happy and pain free christmas to you xx

      hi kaz, thank you.. i am so mad about this i will be doing everything i can to make them suffer.. it is disgusting how they treat people.. she said because i was VERY CHATTY i didn't have anxiety... i'm a chatty person anyway and worse when i'm nervous. but she used it against me as well as saying i wasn't on any medication for anxiety when i am and saying i don't use any aids for my meds which i do, saying i can bath and shower without help which is a lie,as i can't use the bath at all and i use a chair in the shower.. she said i had full power in my libs which i have in writting that i have significant reduced power... it just goes on and on. the whole report she wrote is fiction.. but i will prove her wrong and hopefully get what i'm entitled to from the reconsideration, but if i don't then appeal here i come.. 

      i hope you have a lovely xmas..

    The first assessment I had she said I was cheery and chatty enough though I spent most of the time in tears because I was stressed. I think I got 2 points. She kept twisting everything I said.i put in to be reassessed and the second person was lovely really understanding.they have no idea of how the illness affects you she had just been a health care assistant before.i have seen the job advertised locally and it didn't ask for any medical training.xx

      hi ingrid, that's the problem isn't it, they think someone with no medical background can make an acurate assessment of you within an hour.. plus they are trained to twist it all, leave bit's out and turn what you say against you. did you get your award from the reasesmment?..

      Gill it maybe took 2 years of fighting with the NHS but that doesn't automatically mean you are entitled to benifits I have had fibro for 20+ year and diagnosed 2 year ago it's the same for everyone and if once given a name if everyone they thought were entitled 2 PIP then the system will only get worse

      I have been in hospital many times with my fibro and take pregabalin 300mg 4x daily , morphine fluxetine and spent most days still in severe pain each person with fibro suffers 2 diffrent degrees but never does it mean you have fibro so you are entitled to PIP

      chris, you have no idea about my situation or how badly i'm affected.. i think if you have nothing nice or even constructive to say you should mind your own business. your negativity is not needed or wanted so please do not inflict your opinions on me. 

      thank you.

      happy xmas..

    In reply to you I got standard rate daily living but even this helps because I got more tax credits because of this and a electricity rebate so it's better than nothing xx
