Your very small minded...I do know people 100% who claim pip for no medical reason...but I guess your right and I'm obviously wrong 

@nita70
Wow what an arrogant and rude person you are.

You post on here asking for advice and help then when given helpful and correct advice from experienced members because you don't like what you hear you come back with that old chestnut..  poor poor me, Im genuine and deserve everything while others with nothing wrong with them get it.

You stated you told the truth at your assessment and completed the form yourself... well I can assure you I told the truth about how my disabilities effect me, I also provided truthful evidence and letters from my consultants and also completed the forms myself.

I am certainly not being smug but I was awarded enhanced ongoing for both and I feel that was the correct award for myself.

This friendly community has provided me with great support, help, and more importantly truthful, correct and knowledgable advice. All given freely and in their own time.

@poppy123456 is a very much valued member here and I am absolutely livid at your posts. I can't really say what I truely feel as I would be asked to leave the group. 

If you know for certain of 3 people who have been awarded PIP fraudulently then I suggest you report through the correct channels rather than make accusations on here.

You have also stated you don't have the energy to take your claim further... well you certainly have the energy to vent your hatred regarding PIP on here.

I am so angry to read what you know as 'facts' and am at a loss to know that if your so knowledgeable why are you asking questions on this support group. You also say you don't make assumptions well read through your posts as I feel you do.

Save your energy for your MR if needed.

@schoolmum you don't know anything about me so I guess your the one making assumptions...in no way am I thinking oh poor poor me at all...also no personal attacks allowed yet you called me arrogant and rude and attacked me all through your post

Moving the conversation forward (I can’t add anything that hasn’t been said already) - I wouldn't give up hope yet, it’s rare, but the decision maker doesn’t always go with the assessor recommendation. 

On the chance you do get refused PIP, I strongly recommend doing a mandatory reconsideration. Citizens advice, or, if your local council has a it, a welfare benefits service can help you fill in the MR paperwork and support you through it.

@timmycat1_ Hello and welcome to our online community! It's great to hear your assessor was nice, and the time flew by. I hope you get a deserved award and it would be fab if you could let us know how you get on. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I recently received a text to confirm I had been awarded pip, my assessor took 2 and a half hours on the phone to me and she was that friendly it felt as if she was trying to help me receive the award, I came off the phone thinking she was far too friendly and wondered if this was a trap myself, I have had sleepless nights for weeks over it, it turned out well for me, I am 34 years old now and spent many years from a child struggling with lifes basics, due to adhd, ocd, anxiety and depression, I feel overwhelmed I have actually got some help, I have never claimed anything and skipped from job to job all my life, the assessor even said to me at the end of my call that she was so happy I came forwards and claimed as people such as myself deserve to have the help, it feels like a weight off my shoulders, and I'm thankful my partner has so much time and patience as without her It wouldn't have been possible for me.

Congrats on your award @Leejenks! I also wouldn't know what to do without my partner. They've been so helpful.
