Since I posted my last post about the assessor lying about everything little things, and they decide to stop my pip payment because of her lies. Even though I was getting the low mobility payments £115 I thought about going to mandatory reconsideration, but I have been thinking about it for few weeks and it’s draining me more down, I’ve been having mental breaks downs, every day. Going through all that just to get the £115 it just feel humiliating . It just feel like I be begging and degrading myself even more. I don’t think I can go through it, I’m already feeling so so tired. It’s just this push me over the edge..

I cannot imagine how hard it must be for others that are on pip and any other benefit, to stop out of nowhere because the assessor lies

sorry I just had to put it out here, I’ve been feeling really really low for the past few weeks after the pip review that I’ve been on for 11 years

I read your first post and replied. Sorry how your PIP review worked out and how it has affected you. Shocking the lies in the assessor's report for £115 too. Have a break from it all and try to relax, put your TV on and watch something. If you feel you are not up to a MR leave it. Can you not get any help from family or relations to put in the MR for you? Or more so a complaint to the DWP? Or you could leave it until you feel up to it and start a new PIP claim, you may be awarded the Daily Living element too.

For now relax and forget about it, it is nothing personal, the assessor will have done the same to others, she can't have a conscience...

Hope you relax and recoup!

Hey @bubblecake263, I'm really sorry the process has had this affect on you. You know yourself best, so if you're not up to fighting it at the moment don't push yourself. Take as much time as you need to rest and see how you feel later on.

We've popped you an email today so please look out for that ☺️

Hope you're feeling more like yourself soon 💛

hi @bubblecake263 - I'm so sorry for how all this has made you feel but I'd like to tell you that in fact you can do a Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) any time up to 13 months from the date of your decision letter

You do have to give a reason if you do a MR after one month but one reason can simply be that you were just too unwell. If the DWP refuse to look into your request, which would be incredibly rare, then you'd go straight ahead applying to a tribunal instead.

As you realise simply putting in a new PIP claim can take a lot of time with another assessment, etc. so it's faster to continue with asking for a MR for your current claim. So, perhaps wait until you feel more up to it, then go the MR route.

Its about time we found out the addresses of these lying assessors and confront them about their lies. Or something worse 😊
