PIP review and stopped payments
Hello guys! Was just wondering if anyone could help me? I have been on PIP for 2years, has my review 5 weeks ago, still heard nothing. Does it make a difference if it’s a review to a new claim? It’s been month since they stopped my money and I am really struggling with money at the moment. I wish I could work, but I genuinely can’t! Has anyone been in this situation and maybe let me know what happened? Many thanks in advance

Hi, thanks for your reply! That’s correct, it was a face to face assessment. It was also from a tribunal. I also wrote month, instead of months.
Is is it worth contacting the helpline? I’m just worried after all this time, they’re going to leave me on even more of a pitence than I am now. Thank you all for your replies.
The likelihood they have the decision by now do you think? I will ring them this afternoon, should I also ring PIP? Or see what DWP say first?
They may seem like silly questions, but this is my first review and I’m really struggling with money, which is stressing me out and it’s dragging my mental health down slowly. It may sound dramatic, but I am a terrible worrier.
However with careful planning and budgeting you will be surprised how easy it is to cope with the shortfall.
When I gave up my PIP earlier this year our income went down by over £230 a week - equal to nearly a half.
It worried me for a week or two but with a change in lifestyle etc we now don't miss it.
