debbiedo49 said:The DWP know I’m working . It’s a supported work scheme pilot being rolled out between the jcp and a mental health charity. I couldn’t do the work without the support. But trying to argue the case for pip while working seems to be an uphill struggle. I’m wondering now am I doing myself a disservice by working when it makes me appear more able to some people and may stop me getting the benefits I need to live more independently. It’s a catch 22 for me. It’s the way the descriptors are worded that hinder folks with mental health and how they are interpreted in real life. At the end of the day my job is temporary and my mental health is not. But I’m still going to try as I agree it’s about personal independence .
I am now wondering after what Mike has said have I shot myself in the foot with giving more information than was needed. Maybe, just maybe that is the reason that I have had so many failures in getting PIP. I certainly hope I am wrong in my thinking as it should make no difference to the results.

Im sooooo nervous aarrgghh!

Good luck Debbiedo49 , I am waiting for my appeal but considering withdrawing it because I did get an award for my daily living . The whole system has changed, personally I don’t think that the assessmen carried out by the “professional “ is adequate. Much preferred to see a Doctor. Hope you win your appeal xx

The DWP fail people for so many reasons, @Yadnad. There's no way to know.
-
Is it worth asking for a statement of reasons @mikehughescq
-
My WRO suggests against it
-
My WRO says we should not ask for a statement of reasons I don’t know why

I thought it was how you get to find out why they decided on the award? I dont want to challenge the decision but I think my WRO thinks I do. Ive told him twice I would like to know and he says I would be ill advised to ask for s o r. Is there something else I can ask for like minutes? It doesnt seem right that I cant see what they wrote about me. In the future I may want to refer back to it.

Oh for g s ! It’s a straightforward question I’ve asked my WRO twice could I request a SOR and he said I wouldn’t advise it. He mentioned it goes to different people when you do that like Secretary of State and they then have an option to challenge it if they wish to . So that implies an element of risk. Thus far on here I’ve seen people including myself advised to get an SOR and I just wondered why my WRO was set against it. I guess the risk must outweigh the benefits . I thought we were allowed such things as minutes and if that’s a different question to ask then I would like to know what should I ask for if it’s just minutes. They record the meeting. I have memory issues. I like to read back on notes minutes etc. Why is that such a big deal? I’m not going to challenge the decision.

Admin could you close this please?

My apologies everyone if I am taking out my frustrations here. It concerns me that there seems to be risk involved in asking for SOR or ROP. Unfortunately my recent experience of cab and WRO have not been wholly positive ones and I’ve had to push to get them to allow me to go forward with my pip my way. They seem to have issues with whether I should get pip because I work part time. This is reflected in the decision of the tribunal. That doesn’t make it right. There is a long way to go to ask pip right for m h issues in my opinion.
I got a bit frustrated here as my WRO shut me down completely on asking for the above and yet on here it’s recommended. So it’s very confusing. Of course I have to take WRO advice. I don’t think it’s right that I’m being shut down on here either. It’s a forum we are all equals.
