Yeah you can request a copy of your pip award letter

The person just has to call the ESA number and ask the question to ESA and they will confirm that if youre in the support group you do not have to go into the JC, and then ESA should contact the work coach and tell the work coach as well.

I have same . Last form I wrote I need prompting plus help cutting food . I got 2 points . Same situation in other questions . I can now see how I was deliberately steered towards 2 point questions and this was two years ago . The assessor increased my award so I was advised not to appeal the discrepancy but now it makes me wonder if this was always in the pipeline

I recently migrated over and didn’t have the required ID. They gave me a JC interview but I left a message in my journal and asked for a phone ID appointment and they were fine with that .

The government is copying the experience of Ukraine and Russia. In Russia, carers for disabled relatives are paid from £10 to £200 a month, in Ukraine - £1 or nothing! However, in Ukraine, the carers gets a good bonus - the carer will not be taken to war!

It doesn't matter. For the sake of saving 5 bn, they will call white black and approve it in law. What is important is a principled protest against the cuts.

I will simply ask them what treatment is available for chronic fatigue that I haven’t been offered before.
I think as it stands vagrancy is against the law but parts of the law were scrapped giving police powers to move people on . According to what I’ve read Rayner intends to scrap it which could lead to tent cities with no powers of removal. I can’t see it helping anyone. They did this in USA and it had bad consequences apparently.0 -
This is what I’ve been saying. Kendall reckons it’ll be non negotiable, does that mean it will be down to NHS guidelines on lifelong conditions with no cure or assessors own opinion as it is now ?

Yes, I believe you can request your last award letter, I'm sure I did that a while ago as I lost my original one when I moved.

If it’s up to assessors then back benchers need to be made aware that this is already in in place with the light touch awards. The legal rep who helped me had never heard of it and others didn’t know how it worked so I guess it’s not award that often. Same as they say anyone with less than a year to live , that’s already in place surely? So only real concession is 13 weeks to buy yourself a tent

But you have those conditions every day even if the symptoms change . Like my ME and fibromyalgia. Every day pain but not always in the same place or same type of pain . Fatigued every day , dipping and raising throughout the day . Whereas some people have times of remission ( I think it’s called that but I’ve never had it so not sure) and then flare up . I’m like it daily . And though I’m on pain medication there’s no medication for fatigue. I’m literally supposed to rest every 15 minutes. Couldn’t sit in a chair all day even at home . And that’s just those two conditions.

Is the mobility side not affected by the cuts?
Also, Will you lose lcwra if you don't get daily living? I only scored 4 points on that 😞

There will still be MRs and Tribunals to dispute your new award should you be denied PIP under these new proposed rules.
I should think, The 13 week run probably relates to your previous PIP award which is still paid until your a new assessment decision is decided.

The mobility is staying the same just the daily living that's in the reforms. Sorry I'm not sure on Lwcra though

I think Liz Kendall has caused deliberate confusion about this 13 weeks grace period. I found out online what it will mean regarding pip. If you have an assessment and are told you've not got it or been given a less award, e.g, from enhanced to standard rate, you can still ask for MR or go to tribunal, the 13 week grace period is not instead of these options, it's there to apparently give you more time after losing your pip. It had me worried too thinking I only had 13 weeks to appeal it, but of course the government and Kendall have no interest in explaining things properly for us to ease our minds. Just more mental torture and confusion (on purpose).
The evil person behind these 'reforms' is none other than Morgan Mcsweeny Downing Streets Chief of Staff, iv'e emailed him about his disgarcefull tactics and bullying of disabled people and about him getting rid of Jeremy Corbyn and others. If you want to email this vile man too, here is his email address,
