Hi all
Just a quick update from my previous texts. To recap I had my PIP stopped by letter it said a doubt had arisen regarding my health conditions the letter said I had no right of appeal. However I went to the CAB who were nice but didn't know what to do. Then I decided to email my MP he wrote me back saying he would support me and emailed a resolution manager in the DWP later she emailed him saying my case was in a que on someones desk but I could send in evidence at any time. My MP forwarded the email and I emailed her directly. I received a response by post the DWP manager advising that she couldn't email me back as the link was not secure but my case was being dealt with and I could send in evidence at any time. I spent ages sifting through evidence of my conditions and sent it all in by post. When I arrived home from the post office there was a brown envelope in the door my heart sank when I opened it it was as suspected from the DWP advising they were restating my PIP! They hadn't even received the evidence! No explanation of why they stopped it at all! My money was to be back dated from the date they stopped it! I suspect maybe my MP pushed them along a bit. I wondered what others thought of this ordeal? Have a good day all the sun is out x

I am sure they stop People’s benefits hoping that they will just accept it I am convinced they are reducing the amount of money they have to pay out in benefits two disabled people and increasing the amount of money they pay to politicians but I don’t want to get into any political debates I understand that some people abuse the system and it spoils it for those of us who are genuinely disabled they are making the assessments more difficult and therefore causing many of us to have to survive on less money I think is wrong That they can stop your benefits without giving a very good reason but it’s good to know that someone was fighting in your corner you must have a good MP mine is useless xx2

Great news @Hooley101On another note, very few people claim fraudulently. There's invisible conditions that many people have. Looking "normal" does not mean that person is "abusing the system" You can't judge others when you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.
