    Hi @moniciadobie and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    I'm sorry to hear they stopped your PIP after 4 years, the next step would be to apply for a mandatory reconsideration.

    It's lovely to have you here and I hope you enjoy your time on the community😊

    Thank you again and I hope some one will be able to guide me 😍

    Hi, I’m so sorry this has happened to you and I hope that you can get your support reinstated. Filling out the review is so hard and I felt so afraid of what I was writing in case it could be used against me. I don’t know much about ADHD with PIP, I think I read some months ago that DWP were going to try and make it harder for people to get PIP support if they identify with ADHD but I’m not sure if this is accurate and hopefully someone with better knowledge than me can clarify this. I think also no changes can be made yet as there is an ongoing review called Timms review and until that finishes they won’t make any change to criteria. So it shouldn’t be a rejection of your forms for declaring ADHD, I don’t know how they have decided. I hope others reading your message can give better help than me, I really hope you can get your support back as losing something vital after 4 years is really not easy and you deserve kindness and empathy :)

    I was receiving PIP for another disability. Following my ADHD diagnosis, I reported this information. The subsequent assessment was lengthy, and it appeared as though my previous disabilities were no longer being considered.

    It appears that they did not review any reports and subsequently made inappropriate remarks that were entirely inconsistent with my explanations.

    That's awful @moniciadobie, I'm so sorry that's happened. Are you going to look into a mandatory reconsideration?

    Thank you so much,

    I have have repeated appeal.

    I had yesterday also reported send via, so I stated my paragraph X y z

    I just need some one checked for me and all ready to send.

    Thank you so muchuch for everyone been kind to me 🙂

    Upon reviewing the decision report, I was surprised to see the comment that I was polite and could communicate. It is important to note that it is standard practice to maintain politeness during phone interactions. The report does not fully account for the significant pressure I was under and the efforts I made to effectively manage the call.

    It is lovely to have such kind people here.

    I'm so glad you've found support here @moniciadobie. Oops to leaving the hob on! I've done that many times 😅

    Hey there! I've totally sent that appeal back, and I'm really crossing my fingers that all the evidence helps! I even included some awesome support letters from a really good friend and from work. Fingers crossed, right?! For each part, I wrote down what the decision maker said in their decision, what was in the report, and then my evidence to go with it.

    I hope this will help 🥰 x

    Hi there so sorry you jad ot taken away. Could I ask was your existing claim for a physical or mental health issue. Like one of the previous poster said pip are going to start making it very hard to claim for pip due to mental health illnesses. I have read they are only going to award pip to ppl with extreme mental health issues, so things like depression, anxiety, add,add etc will be very difficult in the future to claim from unless you suffer from mental health conditions such as bi polar split personality schizophrenia. It has been suggested by a lot of professionals that ppl suffering from milder forms of mental health believe having a routine and work which helps with socialising is much more beneficial. If you still feel your award is unfair you can take it for a mandatory review if that is unsuccessful then it will be a tribunal. Hope you get it sorted without to much hassle
