Just approved my PIP and now I had a bombshell.

I was told I had a 10% or so chance in having my Mandatory Reconsideration accepted but it did indeed get approved this week gone and it only took a month or two to be accepted. But I contacted the boss of my social worker and she said that that 2 of her users have to pay back there PIP back (Gradually, every week or so. 80 odd pounds a week so that's all PIP). She is appealing it but I have no hope in it being successful, she said i'm not under there raider at this point but I can see it coming and i'm screwed.
I don't fully understand it but she said they are putting it through.
I really relied on my benefits for bills and personal spending, without out I have nothing. I cant even spend it on clothes, nothing. I really been contemplating on it and just giving up and saying F it, just end it and save myself the hassle. I'm nothing anyway. I cant event say screw the benefits and just work, I can not even work, I have really bad anxiety and hardly step out of the door. I have tried a few times but failed.
Really at loss

She said dla and Pip are not for personal spending, is she right there?
I am going to phone her tomorrow and re ask her as this makes no sense to me, she said that they been planning this for a bit but just starting to put this in place.
I am sorry I can not explain this any better.
She said that they were planning this for a year or so but only putting it in place just recently. I have no idea what's she on about.
Then you need to know if
that's really her by asking to speak to her manager.
We had a man at the solisitors who convinced people he was a solisitor when in fact he collected the rubbish from everyone's bins.
By reading their rubbish he knew a lot.
Checking who she is will put your mind in a better place

Please may I suggest look for other support if some one whom I regarded.
Is looking after me and makes insinuations, comments not relevant that is out of order.
Do I need to complain of course.

Not being reassured is a main cause of worry anxiety. I know this myself.
Have and do if not happy with any service make a complaint write it down.
One other have and do move on if not happy with any service offered.
