Hello everyone
Hello to all you lovely people. I used to recieve dla higher rate mobility and care and i a friend of mine suggested i should apply for P.I.P and helped me with filling out the form as well. I went for assessment in end of feb beginning of march i think and the P.I.P got refused cause the assessor wrote a silly report about me and thought i looked perfectly fine so my dla got stoppex on 10th af Aprill. I have been getting help from citizens advice ever since cause i applealed against the idiots decision and my manditory appeal got refused to and now am waiting for the tribunal. I wanted to ask if this has happened to anybody on here as well and what are the chances of my P.I.P being accepted? I am really worried 😢
@bubbly85 , we've all been subjected to a "witch-hunt", as all DLA claimants have/will be reassessed for PIP. The eligibility criteria for PIP are more stringent than the criteria for PIP. But, even that does not account for the near daily tales of assessment nightmares of "misinterpretations"! You are definitely not alone, which is why the Appeal process is now so long-winded. You're on the end of a long queue! Check out the Benefits & Work website for additional advice, https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/ . Good luck. You are definitely not alone.
@ bubbly85 Appeal, but get ready for a stormy ride.
