Hello @amberinni
Wishing you a warm welcome to the community, how are you today?
Is there anything in particular that you want to know about PIP? At what stage of the claim process are you?0 -
Yes my son is about to lose his standard care and enhanced mobility award after reassessment,the report has several errors and some downright lies, He was been diagnosed with tonic clinic epilepsy in 2007. Is medicated but this does not stop the seizures,but has reduced them to around 3 a month, he also has Absence seizures on a dailey basis, around 12.. and I was just looking for some help with requesting a Mr.0

my boyfriend suffers with these type absent tonic clonic + cluster sezuires and postical physcosis causes memory problems agression delussions cause by how many sezuire he has . More under control new thanks to his new epilepsy nurse she is a ? and gave us a new emergency tablet 6 months ago to stop the sezuires once they start . Im not sure if im aloud pit the medictation on here sorry but if been fab gone from have 30+ sezuires when starts off which we never new when to have 3/4 a week
His problems are well documented with police snd hospital . Consultants etc
but still got found fit to work in his UC assement the MR is now in . And got this epilepsy nurse to send me letter to back up the MR anyways this is about pip .
he only had epilepsy for just over a year n half had a brain injury so only had one assement with them but i had bad accident coming up to 3 years ago so no what the assements are like . no luck between pair of us ??♀️
he claims pip at standard care only becuase he to scared to put in for higher one and lose it and have go threw appeals etc and he cant be dealing with it . Just get as much documentation together as possible and letters of consulations with facts like this in back you up as much as possibile
this is what she stated
Can not cook hot foods ended up with 3rd degree burns on his leg and torso just warming up spaggetti and meatballs in microwave n had a fit .
need supervison while eating nearly choked few times after having sezuire while food was in mouth
while bathing . Incase has sezuires in bath risk of drowning.
not to be left on own sleeping
was advise to get under bed alarm system from council for when he was alone risk of suffication injury fall
doesnt have any warnings or certain times days etc random and extremly dangerous
how affects his short term memory .So doesnt remember appointments medication .
not to leave the house alone or walk anywere alone .
( had issues were he dropped in street infront of on coming traffic )
about the physcosis deluison manic danger to self others .
This is just example of what she wrote that fitted in with few off pip criteria . So examples of what he cant do and real like examples of why he cant . Pretty much just means constant supervion but not just saying that . Hope helps abitif do need to put MR in x
