PIP

karenblaw

Hi folks, I'm literally new to this site. Basically I was awarded PIP over 3yrs ago. I was awarded enhanced DL and basic mobility. I have multiple health issues and unfortunately I was diagnosed with cancer. I informed Capita 2 and half hr home visit, the assessor incorrectly filled out my assessment and I was penalised and my benefits reduced. I seeker CAB for advise and support and I went to an appeal tribunal. Very scary and intimidating, with four professional bods plus a court clerk. The words of the judge rang in my ears "oh we didn't except to see someone so bad has you today"!!! I won the tribunal, but I'm now being faced with yet another Capita home visit this coming Monday. "If I could work I would, I'm a qualified NHS staff nurse/sister" Worked from the age of 16 and now I've got multiple health issues, cancer that's treatable BUT not curable, and I'm on a life of benefits that's eternally under scrutiny!!!!

Good Evening it’s great to meet you today.

I’m very very sorry to hear that you have been caught up in the “PIP Mess”

Yes I also worked in the NHS for over 10yrs in Med Recs.

Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway???

Thanks.
