Pip Review

ShyButterfly

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this forum. I’ve just had my PIP review today over the phone & im just so extremely nervous. I have complex PTSD , Autism & im also diagnosed with anxiety & depression disorder . When I initially claimed PIP a few years ago it took me just over a year of fighting, they made me go right to tribunal stage scoring me 0 points the entire time, completely disregarding all my medical records , support letters from mental health services aswell as written statements from my parents who I live with . A week before my tribunal date they rang me out the blue because they’d decided to award me enhanced for daily living & standard mobility which they awarded me for 3 years . So today I had to have my review because my award ends beginning of next year . I broke down in tears many times throughout this review call , i found the whole thing so distressing which I did mention a couple of times . A lot of questions she asked felt either irrelevant to me and my struggles ( like they were for a person who would have a physical disability) or just like they were designed to trip me up in some way . Has anyone else had their review recently? What was your experience like ?

Hi @ShyButterfly, welcome to the community. I haven't had a review recently but I just wanted to pop in to say hello and welcome. I'm really sorry your review and the pip process in general has been so stressful for you. It can be a really tough thing to get through, so well done for getting through it at least!

Lots of our members have been through similar things before so I hope some of them will say hello and share their experiences soon. Be sure to look after yourself today! ❤️
