I went through one if the most traumatic 1 1/2 hours of my life on Friday 28 September, I came out feeling very traumertised and it has made my anxiety far worse and my mental has plummeted to new lows.
I received a letter today telling me I would not be getting PIP quote’I did not appear anxious or worried’ despite the fact that I couldnt even wait in the waiting area and was told by the assesor I had done really well considering my levels of anxiety. Don’t know where to turn really am am concerned this will effect my ESA claim for which i am in the support group.
I woukd appreciate any advice
thank you
Annie

We are not treated like humans!
To them we are not worthy of common care dignity & a right do a resonable life
They would rather we just curled up & die!! -
They don't make it easy
You have to fight.
I know it's not easy
Try getting Citizens Advice on board to stand up for you -
