    Hello @Woody1998.

    Sorry to hear your partner’s assessment was such a bad experience and the outcome didn’t go the way you’d hoped.
    As others have said, people can work and claim PIP, but sadly it doesn’t seem too uncommon for them to make assumptions based on working status.

    Unfortunately there’s no timescale for decisions on MRs but hopefully you’ll hear soon. The success rate for MRs is quite low so you should prepare yourselves that you may need to take it to tribunal.

    Hi there.

    I work and I get PIP. I suppose it depends on what job he does. I'm constantly saying the assessors are incompetent and not qualified. Appeal, appeal, appeal. Xrays, operations and other treatments are facts. Just because he pushes himself don't mean he doesn't have problems. I encourage you to fight this. 

    Unfortunately, whoever wrote the questions is ignorant to uniqueness. They expect everyone to act the same way. It is as though they want everyone with issues to become helpless - victims. The more we challenge is the more we will change things. Good luck.
