I received PIP lower payment, not enhanced for a couple of years, then I was summoned to a face to face assessment having completed the proof of how my illnesses effect my coping etc. PIP was removed Dec 2nd 2016, despite the fact I have deteriorated with medical evidence. I have been unsuccessful to have this explained and benefit reinstated It is written - "circumstance changed that disallowed PIP that claimant was not reasonably expected to know might effect her entitlement"? Another is "limitation impacts on her day to day activities but his could improve with intervention". What medical intervention ( treatment/therapy) is available and where is there proof that this will help? My Specialists are curious to know and what on earth is the DWP talking about? They won't tell me!
Then yesterday my neighbour and partner said they had "Told the DWP at their assessment that a neighbour comes along to see to her 5 or 6 times a day, takes her to medicals and out or he would not be able to go out to leave her" etc. etc..This is not true but it was said to enable her to receive her benefit, which she does. Could this be ther reason I have had my PIP removed, as they lied that I looked after her, I can't look after myself? How can I find out if this is the case ? Any ideas please, it would explain a lot that seemed odd?

Hi,
I honestly think you're looking into this far too much to be honest. Why would your neighbour tell the DWP that it is you that goes to them 5-6 times a day? If they did tell them this then the DWP wouldn't tell you if they did or not. In all honesty i think this is ridiculous to even think they said this if it's not true. I think you're just looking for reasons that aren't there.
I know you're angry because you've been refused at the review but you're not the only person. Most MR decisions fail anyway and the likely hood of you having to take it to Tribunal is extremely high.
Have you asked for the MR? I can't remember what stage you're at. Either way i think you should stop thinking of all the reasons why and concentrate on winning your Tribunal. The Tribunal are totally independent to DWP and the assessment providers and will listen to what you have to tell them but you have to appear in person for the best chance of winning.
Gather your relevant evidence, more if you have to and make sure it's sent to the Tribunal to arrive at least 10 days before the hearing date. Do not take it with you on the day because they won't have time to read it to take it into consideration.

Just received the decision report which has given me 2 days to apply for a MR, dated 25th April but just received it 23rd may, so requested in writing an extension but they never reply in writing to me then deny what was said at a later date?

It doesn't mean that the neighbour was talking about you. If it concerns you that much then ask your neighbour if the told DWP it was you, if they did and you don't then ask them why they told them that. I can't tell you if it went against you. People care for others while claiming PIP/DLA and it doesn't go against them providing the care given doesn't contradict the reason for the PIP claim.
Do you mean you just received the assessment report or the actual decision letter?
If it was the decision letter then ring them tomorrow morning and request the MR but send the letter as soon as possible. It's always better to ring to ask for extension rather than request in writing.
I wouldn't worry too much because mostly MR decisions remain the same anyway. Remind me again how many points you received this time, for daily living and mobility?
