I went to tribunal back in 2023 and won the appeal they said it was awarded to me based on my mental health I was awarded enhanced living and mobility. I was in abusive relationship which I left and suffered a miscarriage due to the abuse. I was also assaulted. This was over a period of a long time so it really affected me causing me to have ptsd they awarded pip to me for four years
now I’m coming towards the award end date I sent in my form and then they sent me this text message which I have attached to this but if you can’t see it, this is what it says:
We have received your PIP review form. We may contact you for more information or you may need an assessment with a health professional before we make our decision. We will contact you again if you do. You will continue to get PIP while your award is being reviewed. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.
Since the tribunal I’ve suffered two more additional miscarriages and now I have recurrent pregnancy loss which means that it is quite a big medical condition because my body isn’t able to carry pregnancies and this makes me really traumatised especially had a recent loss in August
The effects of to this day. I don’t leave my house often. I always go with someone I don’t like being alone outside because I’m worried someone’s gonna attack me. I’m even scared within my own home that someone’s gonna knock the door down and kill . I see things before the period of abuse happened. I used to work. I went to university as I was a really different person but the abuse the really affected me. I documented this all the form with my sisters help and I even gave proof of my pregnancy losses.
But now they sent me that text message it makes me feel like despite the tribunal and even putting the tribunal evidence they don’t believe me and it’s really disheartening because I’ve lost so many babies and I’ve suffered from random weird things which happened straight after my miscarriage I was put on the suspected cancer referral because I’m having weird vagina bleeding which is abnormal and this was added onto the form
I feel like I won’t be believed and I’m really upset. I am working age so I think that’s why I’m down on but honestly if I could do I would wish that I could work. I wish that I could be like a normal woman and give birth, but I’m starting to feel like I’m abnormal and I don’t know why I’m not like other people my age that go out and to help people like used to support help them with their lives and give them advice. I used to be a support worker now I’m in desperate need and I need help and I’m scared. I’m scared about this assessment. I don’t know how I’m gonna handle it being asked all these questions Because I feel like the paper pip have no hearts. I’m on long-term medication and this makes me feel really drowsy and I can’t do much without someone support. What am I gonna do? If they give me a telephone assessment? How am I gonna get through this? What does this text message mean? does it mean that my Pip is going to be taken away?
my pip expires in April 2026
