Did you know I lost my pip due to lies I lost my esa because the day I was supposed to attend my esa assessment I had no money because I was relying on my pip payment.six weeks in I'm praying I win my appeal I sent them evidence clearly showing the lies. My life has been utter hell I went from 750 a month to absoulte zero I really hope no one goes through what I have been through having to beg for a loaf of bread having to beg my landlord not to kick me out having to sign on jsa knowing I have a illness being told I won't receive anything until the 1St of may that won't even cover the debts never mind food.changes need to be made to allow recordings of all assessments the appeals process must be fair quick and effective waiting ever day for a decision is heart breaking and stressful even though I clearly shown evidence what if they don't except. Who is going to pay the 300 lost rent 70 lost council tax I can't on 160 a fortnight then there's bills water gas electric TV licence food all this because the assessor did not put the information down correctly I can't cook alone I have bladder problems which I use plastic sheets and pads for I have a debt coach because I can't budget I can not plan a journey I attended with my uncle all of which she did not score me on

Since I turned 65, I have had to fight the DWP three times to get my PIP reinstated. From when the decision to remove the £565 every 4 weeks payment to when it was put back into payment averaged 6 months. In those 6 months I had and am having to top up my income by using my credit card.
OK the DWP do make a backdated payment but who is going to pay the interest that I am left with of over £650 every two years?

This is awful. I've had the same experience.

But you eventually get your benefits sorted - I presume that the extras (interest & additional payments) are also coming out of your benefit income as well as the money that you borrowed.
Like me, because of the delays within the benefit system you too are having to pay for them in interest and other charges. In DWP land I presume that they must think that people have a tin under the bed full of money which you can use until you get the backdated benefit payment?

In the day centre I attend many people rely on these shops to get through the week.
It's a disgrace. The people with the least money are the people who pay the most, who are penalised the most. Not just money but emotionally too.
It's hard and demoralising to take your precious few things into one of those shops. Despite the good intentions there is always a chance you won't be able to get them back. It's the risk many have to take, including me.
