Hi everyone
I'm having pip issues and really need some help if you can i read some of your posts and you all seem far more knowledgable so here goes !
I have been ill for years and finally crumbled about two years ago thought i was not going to be around for long claimed pip got high care and low mobility and as i couldnt do anything for myself spent about 9 months in bed i was a bit shocked
I was unable to go to the tribunal i couldnt stand up at that time i didnt know what was wrong with me the judge said she needed to see some proof of my disability a diagnosis and belive me it wasnt through lack of trying to get one but everyone was stumped
That was september then the following jan i got my diagnosis fnd and cfs so i went back to pip
And they took away the higher rate care
Iv been so upset i feel like i shouldnt be like this and i need to shake myself but i know from past trying to get through it that is not going to happen or end well
I read all your posts about them lying and they did that to me they said i said i could walk so far when i never said that and stuff about she goes on social media i dont i struggle to scroll
Im taking it to tribunal but the assesment was rather short and i feel he didnt ask me all the questions he should have and that is why i didnt get a good outcome and how do i prove he lied ?
Iv been told scope will help if the case is unlawfull but im not sure what that means
If you got this far thats great i probably would have fell asleap so ta very much x

Thank you for sharing your story with the community.
Every body does understand and I myself as other members of the community. Who can identify your situation you are in.
The issues you raise are a constant problem in this the assessments.
My advice to you is ask if you can. To speak some one in our team who may advise. Contact our number on above 0808 800 3333.
I know there has been cases from our community who have taken ATOS or Capita to court and have won.
Unfortunately these are too few. I know my own problems and issues I need to know myself in future reference s. Should it happen to me.
I thought of CAB or Welfare rights. Had a look at advocates and benefit law. Problem is all too complex and confusing.
All I know I feel for you and all the community are supportive.
Some one in the community may also advise you. I hope and wish you the best. Keep in touch.
We are a friendly community. May I add have a look at our benefit information and advice.
Hope that helps. Take care
