    Hi Katherine and a big warm welcome to our community

    I am so sorry you are haveing such a hard time with this.
    It is so unfair when undeserving people manage to beat the system when we struggle to get the help we need.
    This is partly why PIP was made harder to get, to try and get rid of the people that are abusing the system.
    What stage are you at  just now ?
    Have you been turned down completely ?

    Can you tell us a little moreabout your situation and we will try and point you in the right direction

    CR
    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    Hi @katherine1981 welcome to the community.

    If you are having thoughts of suicide, it is important that you discuss them with someone who is qualified to help. Please call the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) or email them at jo@samaritans.org

    You might also benefit from reading MIND’s information on how you can help yourself:

    If you feel that you may be an immediate danger to yourself, please call 999 or go to your local hospital right away.

    For support on your PIP assessment and appeal, you can speak to someone on our helpline on 0808 800 3333.  Have you appealed the decision?
