    Hi @ericwatts, and welcome to the community! 

    Thanks for sharing this with us, and sorry to hear about your experiences. You mention that you're not claiming any benefits, is this something you would be interested in doing?

    You may also be interested in Scope's Support to Work scheme, our new employment service for disabled people.

    HI @ericwatts
    PIP is a non means tested benefit for disabled people and you can claim this whatever your household income.

    There is a PIP self test here to see if you could be entitled to it.

    Unfortunately lots of people are turned down for PIP but there is a lot of support on our site about appealing a PIP decision, (this generally needs to be done within 30 days of receiving the decision) or how to reapply.

    As Donisha says above, you might also like to find out more about the Support to Work service.

    Let us know how we can help :)
