this week the DWP have made me feel very low. I have serval mental health issues plus physical issues with my neck and my lower back. I have carers come into my home and they do not seem to care that I am not flexible on the days I can work I have considered a mandatory reconsideration but they said no
I am tired of fighting for everything

PIP and the work capability assessment for limited capability for work are 2 completely different benefits, with totally different criteria. Whether you qualify for limited capability for work will depend on how your conditions affect your ability to do any type of work.PIP is about how your conditions affect your ability to do dail;y activities based on the PIP descriptors. Sadly, you can have a disability but not qualify for PIP because if you don't meet the descriptors, you won't score the points needed for an award.Expert advice would be a start, if you can get that and if you can get some representation then even better. Start here. When you "choose a topic" drop down to welfare benefits, https://advicelocal.uk/
