PIP PROCESS

Andrew6619

I first applied for pip on Aug 2022, in this time I was refused pip from the first application and also with the reconsideration, I have repeatedly told them the things I cannot do in life like wash/bath, pre pare or cook food, walk any more than 20metres, dressing or undressing, find it hard to talk to people because of my illness which is panic disorder as well as FND, have always updated any info regarding my illness as its get worse, I am grounded in my home and can't get out and they still give me ZERO points and said their decision has not change, even my Dr, Neurologist, Physio, Psychologist do not understand this as they have written plenty information regarding my illness, it has gotten me so low in life, I have a mental advisor helping me toward my 1st appeal and this is since first applying on Aug2022, its all very stressful

I'm sorry to hear this @Andrew6619 it can indeed be incredibly stressful and upsetting to be knocked back like that when you know exactly how your conditions affect you, and so do those involved in your care.
