I had a pip review a asessment July last year, was changed to pip from ESA in 2015 for multiple health problems including sight loss in one eye. The first pip assessment was with a doctor the second was at my home ( not requested  ) where I wasn' allowed to answer her questions properly, she only did the grip test,  went out came back and did a cursory eye test.I then received a notification to say my pip was being cut they had taken away my mobility allowance for stress and anxiety when travelling (I hardly go anywhere) it said I was perfectly capable of driving on my own and nothing bad was going to happen! Also that she had observed me walking normally ( I never left the chair)! I was very upset at the lies told by the assessor but didn't appeal for fear of them removing my pip altogether.

    Hi Emily(?) @littleemily and welcome to the community.  It is good to have you here, though I'm very, very sorry you've been having such a tough time.
    I'm going to put a link in here to the Talk about PIP/DLA forum which you might want to look at. Meanwhile, Admin may very well move your post over there and save you retyping this one  :)
    Warmest best wishes to you, Emily,
    Richard

    Are you not able to claim ESA as well as PIP?

    Not know as they said I had come to the end of my entitlements via stamps.
