I have just received a PIP decision letter stating I am not entitled to it after 4 weeks ago I had a very lengthy telephone assessment with the person who said she was a nurse. I have diagnoses of anorexia with binge-purge subtype, depression, anxiety, ADHD, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. The decision letter is complete **** and either they've completely disregarded what the assessor has said or the assessor has lied or omitted information I told her. This is the second time this has happened - I am still waiting for a tribunal for my PIP being stopped at a review telephone call in May 2023. I am in loads of debt, not sleeping properly and completely at my wit's end. CAB are helping me with the debts and the previous PIP appeal but I've been told there are a shortage of court dates available for the tribunals in my area. I just wish I knew how much longer it would take. I get a tiny amount of UC as I'm a part-time student and also part-time self-employed but I've been signed off sick since the beginning of December 2024. I've had to start working again anyway as I don't have enough money to live on otherwise. I get a student loan but it basically pays my tutition fees so there's very little left over. I am so exhausted and mentally drained by this and just don't know what else I can do. I'm running out of hope and strength. I just feel like every time I try and get my life on track I keep getting knocked back down again. I feel like there is no light at the tunnel of this sorry tunnel. Thank you for reading and if anyone else has any advice or suggestions thanks in advance. I am just trying to hold it together right now but I'm so angry and upset, I feel like the DWP just want to social cleanse disabled people and wipe them out. I am fed up with it all. I know there's people worse off but I just need a reason to keep going. What if I put in a mandatory review request of this latest PIP claim and they still turn it down? Do I need to then put in another tribunal request? How can I have 2 different PIP claims waiting for a court hearing? Has anyone else been through something similar?
