My PIP was reduced last year

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
