Hi there. Joined because was reading what everyone has been saying. I am 67yrs and just had all my PIP stopped despite having end of life COPD. I am gutted. The accessor didn't even mention my breathing. Have already complained, but it's the waiting and the hardship. Am in for a long fight. X

    Hi @EastEndgirl, I'm really sorry to hear about your PIP decision. I assume you've already put in for a Mandatory Reconsideration? In the meantime, please keep in touch and get involved with the discussions around here and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

    Hi @EastEndgirl and welcome

    As a fellow COPD sufferer I can understand how frustated you must be.
    In many ways COPD can seem like an invisible condition, so it is important to send as much evidence as you can.
    Do you have a Community Respiritory Team looking after you ?
    What medication do you take ?
    Do you have home oxygen therapy ?

    These are all things that can help to show you are not just a bit out of breath
    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste
