    You can even get Your doctor to write you are unable to travel look at it this way your be having assessment before November 2026 so forms not changed don't be frightened of them I wrote they don't cover equality act I said the assessments give me ptsd which they do all of us think I said you don't tell me what I can and do I'm telling you easy for me to say don't worry but honestly when you stick up for yourself it's not as bad

    I didn't care about pandemic no people around I didn't watch new had no jabs bit I genuinely feel for the people who was terrified because I feel that with these proposed cuts but no ones talking about people who was maimed by the Jabs caused so much ill health in people that is shocking all that went on suggestion why do you do a risk assessment on the new pip criteria the damage it will cause could show on here and we could all send to our mps

    Question one people are taking as this is going ahead it's hasn't been passed yet ?? Question Two is the pip form saying the same or changing questions on form ? As I scored 4 on face to face and there was definitely other points I didn't challenge so it could be possible to contest it if goes to MR for alot of us what do people think also read article that said look at your award letters to see where you did score points previously and if no change really focus on them and all obviously

    IIs So good to see your passion and you write so beautifully and get the point across in a articulate way I've sent loads of emails in my head it sounds good bit to put pen to paper is hard so it's good to know that people in the same position are speaking out and imagine it's us and millions of others gosh imagine thier inboxes

    I did exactly what you did when my pip assessment was due last November, I refused a face to face and demanded a paper based one instead. I too quoted the equality act 2010 and about reasonable adjustments etc, I also stressed about traveling giving me panic attacks and PTSD, I was firm but fair witht them. To my surprise 2 weeks later i got a text saying my review was complete (paperbased) and was awarded an extra 2 years than i got last time.

    Like you say, standing up for yourself does and can work, DWP depend on making you feel frightened of them so they get their own way!!

    Finally got a reply from my Labour MP - he’s toeing the party line. Feel so disappointed in him. He’s new this time around - our usual MP retired.

    Did I read somewhere that responses are being collected? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I get 10 points for not being able to travel to unfamiliar places so surely this is taken into consideration when asked to travel to unfamiliar places

    Id also get a letter from your GP too explaining your difficulties in traveling i.e, anxiety, trauma, or other issues that might affect you or make your condition worse. I would try ringing pip first before your review and ask for either a telephone or paperbased assessment, I think I got mine paperbased as this time I made sure I put in loads of evidence from my family, GP, kept a diary for 2 weeks showing how my condition affects me, got my brother to write a letter saying what he does for me, making meals, etc. If they have enough evidence, usually it will be paperbased, although now and again they might ring you just to claify a few points, but nothing like a full assessment.

    Try not to worry too much, I know that's easier said than done, but like you say, you had 10 points in one discriptor, that's 7 more than I had, so you should be fine, they can't make you have a face to face under the equality act 2010 if it puts you in danger and would cause you any harm.
