No PIP for me

I suffer from Cardio Vascular Disease, type 2 diabetes, nueropathy in both feet, anxiety disorder and depression. Guess what? No pips for me as apparently I don't fit their criteria. The fact I'm only able to take paracetamol for pain relief because of my heart meds means I don't need pain killers. I attended the interview alone means I can make my own way to places and cope (What these ******** fail to realise is it took over 12 months of people badgering me in to applying, a lift had to be arranged for me to get there as I didn't know how to on my own and if it hadn't been necessary I wouldn't have botherd.) Oh yes, I was clean and was presentable as well, as though I was supposed to turn up dressed like a tramp and smelling of ****. I hope the ******* burn or even better are struck down by illness and receive no assistance so they can see what it's like to feel worthless.

I'm so sorry to hear about your PIP decision, it must have been really frustrating for you to hear that outcome. Unfortunately, I'm sure many of our members will be able to relate to your experiences.
Do feel free to continue posting and updating us. However, as we'd like the community to be a safe and supportive place, we'd be grateful if you could mind your language and use of expletives and ensure your thoughts are presented tactfully, especially as we have younger members on the forums too!
Are you considering appealing the decision? Just let us know if we can be of any assistance.
