UK š¬š§ Pip declined
So frustrated right now , one person deciding if your worthy or not makes my blood boil š”. Multiple sclerosis, ibs, diverticular disease, visual vertigo , vestibular migraines , general anxiety disorder, donāt seem to be enough . I never asked for these . Iāve never asked for help . Battle daily with the vestibular & bowel issues yet coz I can walk , not missing a limb and can fluently communicate through life and know a lot about my conditions then im apparently not brain dead enough .
I feel like the woman on the phone assessing didnāt listen to a word I said and changed the narrative and twisted the plot to their own agenda . Their letter ā decision ā was full of lies , and absolutely not what I said .
Feeling deflated , shouldnāt have to fight these people when we are already fighting to live with our conditions .
Born and bred uk worked and paid taxās then when u ask for help because the gods decided to land you with shit health , you get treated like your lieing from somone on the other end of a computer that knows nothing about how u feel . Arseholes .
100% go for mandatory reconsiderationā¦. There is a high percentage of MRās that easily overturn the original decisionā¦. Iām not sure how accurate the information is now but I know, for fact, that when PIP first took over from DLA, the āassessorsā that had no medical expertise, recieved a bonus for every declined application and there was no consequence if the decision was overturned. They didnāt even have to give their bonus back š¤¬šµāš«.
I was declined the first time I applied for PIP. Ask for a 'Mandatory Reconsideration'. Get someone from Citizens Advice or someone else with benefits knowledge, to help you apply. Failing that take the DWP to a Tribunal. I've done both myself before and got the DWPs decisions overturned. So don't give up and keep going.
