I had my pip reduced to standard rate as I can use a microwave

I find it hurtful the amount of people on here suffering, I have rheumatoid, oesteo, and fibro I was awarded enhance rate  3 years ago, 12 months ago they lowered it , I found when my pip  form came back it had been worded different from what I said, I found on the enhance rate I was able to work 16 hours I ran my own business and was coping.
I had my pip reduced to standard rate as I can use a microwave , but I have deformed hands and cannot remove the plastic top when cooked ha , Since having it lowered my house hold bills increased I find it hard now to buy prepared veg e.t.c that I need.
I have since  march suffered extreme fatigue due to having to work more, my hands have deformed worse and now have problems in several parts of my body , I am suffering anxiety and  depression due to having to cope and I have 2 children a single parent and they expect me to eat microwave meals.
So now instead of my working and contributing to society I am at a point of finishing work which in the long run will cost the government more money x

Darling I would appeal this review it's obviously not a fare or correct and is down right evil wrong go to the CAB they will help you apeal this. Attos need shooting with all the stupid stuff that's been going on with PIP assessments and reviews. And I think we need a new MP for disability cos this stupid cow is doing nothing.
