    Hi Maggie,

    I'm sorry to hear this! Was it a review or did you report those changes? Is it the Mandatory Reconsideration you're at or the Tribunal?

    This happens to a lot of people sadly! PIP isn't for life like DLA was and because they'll continue to review us then everyone risks losing what they have during this time. Hopefully you'll have a decision in your favour! Good luck.

    Hi Maggie I'm sure there will be someone with much more experience and knowledge than I so just bear that in mind with my reply.

    I understand your upset and I can totally see where your coming from, were you on PIP last year, was it a follow on from DLA or a straight PIP claim.

    What benefits were you allocated at the original decision and did you get a copy of your assessment.

    That's terrible. Did they not give you a reason why they stopped the payment? How on earth are you coping financially? Can you claim JSA? What about ESA? x
