    Hi,
    2nd January is a normal payment day for those in England and Wales. The only way you would have recieved it early is if your bank processes it early. As you haven't recieved it today then you'll recieve it Tuesday as normal.

    Hi deexxx and welcome

    How and why has your PIP stopped ?
    Have you had a reassessment and had a decision letter ?
    If so have you challenged the decision ?

    I had a assessent and didn' get enough points in gutted . Alot of what the nurse wanted me to do was a physial assessent . I'e got mental health isues and I feel they just don' take that into consideration and how . Ad t can get . I haven' left the house in weeks . And I'm on a real low at the moment . I'e missed appointments because I can' be around big crowds . But I can' aford to take taxis . Since they took the pip . I found it so distressing to do the assessent in the first place having to talk to a stranger about how im feeling and very personal things . Im not sure how to go about doung it all over again . I' been on pip for 3years and nothing has changed so I don' understand how they can say u didn' get enough points .

    Hi deexxx

    Yours is a common story on the forums

    When did you get your decision letter ?
    Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report ?
    Have you asked for a mandatory reconsideration ?

    It is important to understand the points system, descriptors and criteria for an award. a good starting place is the B&W self test

    PIP in primarily about funtionality and many people with MH issue find it hard but not impossible

    There s lots of info to read here about challenging and appealing the decision

    Please do come back with any questions
