Hi I'm after some advice on what to do please I'm trying help
my brother with pipp after being a recluse for 4 years he let it run out so had
to do a fresh form in 2016 he was awarded 22 points 10 being the moving around
so high care low mobility 2019 he was due for review
was sent forms I wasn't in his life at time as he had
attacked my husband apparently forms were filled in by support worker she went
along with the face to face didn't speak to help my brother and he got an award
of low care which run out last year and because he had become recluse the claim
ended as no one fill in forms my brother cannot read or write cannot read signs
symbols cannot do anything on his own
I have to to doctors with him speak on his behalf he doesn't
even no how to make a doctor's appointment so whilst he was a recluse he had
some health problems which are now being sorted but because they have been left
they are now requiring surgery and lots treatments and medication but DWP have
said on his statement of reason there decision he can engage he said he can
plan a journey said he doesn't have medication for anxiety so he is ok he
doesn't need help with meds although his meds are in dosette box for him
they say because he don't wear pads he doesn't. Have
incontinence problem although his on med s for incontinence and he will stand
there wet himself if I don't guide him to toilet remind him because he doesn't
see anyone form mental health or has a support worker
his ok but my brother has been a recluse and didn't let
anyone in so all support was withdrawn he even got court order from housing
because he wouldn't let gas man in to do check on gas boiler
it took from filling in forms to an award 7 months but in
that 7 months lots changes in my brother my brother is very vulnerable in
society I am my brother's appointed person so face face was done with me over
phone I was asked 4 questions took 8 minutes one questions was would your
brother hurt someone no was my answer as we are with him all time he does not
go out on his own I don't think he would hurt someone but his response and way
he is in society makes him very vulnerable for him to be hurt if someone was
not with him I've had a neighbour try to ask for money from my brother in a
very deceitful way the amount was 1000 pound I had report it to housing team
they are treating it as anti social behaviour and criminal as she's tryed take
advantage of him since filling in pipp form
I've been doctors several times various hospitals for scans
and tests I've had accompany him and speak on his behalf we have had urgent
mental health assesment as my brother is hearing voices and seeing people the
voices are telling him to hurt people with weapons he has got verbal aggressive
with members of my family and members of the public and my little grandson who
is on spectrum he has even said if I was to be left with him I would most
probably kill him with things he does he has got to do therapy got have a
support worker and PCN has told me to make contact with social services my
brother is on pathway for autism they do think he has this but it's 2 year wait
for assesment at moment
so I'm now wanting to know how I go about this I'm asking for
a mandatory reconsideration for sure as I don't agree with points he received
10 but been lots changes in him since forms 7 months ago just received his
award in
understand I have 28 days to ask the to reconsider his claim
do i do all together ask them to reconsider and review his claim re changes in
past 7 months hope all this makes sense I just don't feel low care is right for
him he has no diagnosis only depression he had episode 6 years ago when he was
sectioned they put it down to depression he smashed up his entire flat police
came tasered him sent him hospital
sorry it seems long but I know someone on here will guide me
on what to do when I had face face on phone I don't think I was asked enough re
my brother oh she also said because my brother doesn't have speech language
therapy as my brother stutters and can't get words out it's only when his
nervous so it's not a problem for him which is untrue my brother stutters all
the time even with talking to me
her statement is going against all what I said in pipp form
and she's gone back on his last assesment said about things from there but I
said on form he became recluse so things have changed
