Help to put my issues right this is the only service in plymouth and they have basically ignored my requests to get a second opinion on my ar1 coc pip form to be looked at by anyone to double check it was done right as I no she didn't write half the things I said dismissed me.. didn't look at my ongoing award answers I just wanted to get it looked at. The manager rang after 3 weeks wasn't kind hadn't looked at it, who do I turn to I'm so ill.

    Hi @scared56 I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience. Do you have any friends or family that could look over the form for you?

    I'm so sorry for everything you're going through @scared56. I'm glad your friend was able to help you with the form. It's completely understandable to worry about the result but remember that if they take it away you can ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration. I know it's not the ideal situation but it's there if needed.

    It's always good to send in as much evidence as you can to support your claim. Just make sure your name and National Insurance number is written at the top of each page.

    Do you feel you have enough mental health support? There are lots of resources available, here are some links for you:
