It can very often take a very long time to get through to anyone from CAB. If this happens then put your postcode into this link and it will tell you what other advice agency is local to ring. Then you can ring them. https://advicelocal.uk/

Hi, 
I have spoken with a lovely advisor at CAB & they suggested I write a letter of complaint to the DWP. Unsure though as I do not want to fan the flames so to speak. They did say also to contact them for support/advice if I receive a letter for a compliance interview. Police are not that helpful, maybe they know the cars involved belong to the DWP & not allowed to tell me x

@carla35 - personally I do not believe that it is the DWP - if they were carrying out surveillance they wouldn't do it over such a lengthy period, nor use a car that is registered to a local address.

As you say the police won't be able to give you the keeper details for the car but it does sound like it's one of your neighbours...

Hi @Carla35, how are you doing at the moment?

Thank you so much Mikehughescq. 

I am sorry I am so late in replying to you. I have been really unwell & then had a severe angina attack. I am now on increased medications.

I will follow your advice & note down all the details every time I go out, which is never daily. I always use my spray & pump, when walking, although the DWP probably will not have filmed me using these. 

It is always the same route I walk my little dog, which is just around the block so to speak & the neighbour who reported me must have informed them of this.

The DWP continue to watch my home & last night, the 2nd time in a week that I went out with my little dog, they were parked on the pavement waiting for me to arrive home, then drove off as I approached my drive.

Due to other health problems,I have never walked my little dog more than 3 times in any week, my neighbour does it for me.I do not know why they continue to watch me. 

This is making me very unwell & afraid of what they may do. It stated online, if they try to prosecute, despite a judge finding you not guilty of fraud, the DWP can still demand a repayment & go back over many years so you owe them many thousands of pounds.I would have to sell my home.

I never put on my application I couldn’t walk. I said I had pain, severe discomfort & was breathless before 20 meters & had to use my meds before I continued. 

My Angina is far worse now than when I applied for PIP & heart tests I had recently, have discovered another problem with my heart & I have to have another angiogram & possible heart surgery. 

I rang CAB, then I rang Welfare rights & asked if they would look over my PIP application just to put my mind at rest but they said they do not do this x
