Hi iv been on dla for 25 years had it for life due to many health conditions. .
I changed over to pip in Feb this year 2018...
I was in so much pain I'm currently on morphine. . Tramadol. Cocodamol ..
Depression and anxiety . Panic attacks
In February I tried using weed to help with pain was not keen on the idea but I gave it a go..
Wow it helped a lot .. with pain killers and weed I found I was able to move around more freely still in pain but msnagable .. I felt human again after staying in the house for weeks on end only going out by car for appointments.
Any way after a few weeks I decided after picking up the caurrage to wonder out by public transport not on my own as I wasn't confidant enough to to my anxiety. . I found I was able to go out for around 2 hours with out survier pain .
Any way I got reported saying iv had an improvement and no longer need pip..
I was sent for an interview under caution in June where they had video evedidence of me walking to the bus stop .. with my sister I didn't have my stick as I had just had a cast fitted to my foot and an opp on my arm and my other arm I had trapped nurve and was unable to use it .. I had taken my norm meds and smoked 2 week fags ..
I pleaded my case and explained I was on weed to help with the pain . Also explained it didn't last long and then I was ill n sick after that..
Any how nxt day I rec letter day pip had need suspended until further notice ..
My motability car had to go bck as no payments where being made.
Iv rang so many times to find out what's going on .. they tell me still with dission maker .. then I was told it's been with them since July. . Then they say it's a new person learning the ropes .
Every time they told me I would hear in a few weeks .. I can't sleep iv list 2 stone in weight ..
I no longer use weed as I can't afford too. So I'm bck to square one..
I took out a cooker and washer which I paid for as I had the extra money from my pip.. which are being taken bck nxt week .. I'm in such a mess ... and they don't seem to care .. I last ranges up . 2 weeks ago and was told there is a message on my file saying .. if I ring again to tell me when they have made a dission they will wright to me .. and there is no need for me to keep ringing
I feel like I can take more I'm house bound.. again .. I will have no cooker or washer by end of nxt week ...
My dipression is so bad I won't answer my phone.. open my curtains or answer my door. . I just don't want to be here any more ...
Is it normal for them to totally ignore your request to hurry up because it's making me so I'll
Sorry to have gone on a bit
I'm just trying to get answers and I'm desperate for help ..

This is awful for you. I have heard this story so often. Iv been on dla for over 30 years now which I received for life. I’ve just received my letter from pip to ring b4 26month and I’m scared silly as know 6 ppl who have all been refused ad hav had reductions wen they ask for a review. This is the only money I have coming in to the house. I can hardly pay my bills with it as it is without getting it reduced or refused

I was given dla for life
And that was the only spare income I has to help me live day to day as I had a Gardner .. he goods .. hair done every month. . But now I just get esa low reduced rate I can't even afford food I'm having to use food Bank every week now it's awful .. I feel like giving up I can't see no light at the end of the tunnel x -
Yes interview under caution
I told them the truth I was only able to go out because of the weed .. and it wasn't every day only 3 4 times every 2 weeks if that
Went with my son who is my carer -
Just an update I rang pip again this morning
Was put through to a case working ... she tells me that there has been nothing added to my file since July and I would have to make a new claim and have another assessment. . THAT'S BULL
I think they have lost my claim and trying to cover them selves
I already have a claim just waiting for the decision I explained.. she replied nothing they can do and will send me a new form out ...
Is this correct or am I still been given the run around
Please help xx -
Iv been told today iv been disallowed so I'm now looking for work
I don't have the energy to keep fighting ... and my axiaty is to bad to keep trying -
look for work? PIP isn't about working, people claim PIP and work. I think you need to have legal advice and speak to an expert.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hey u need to seek legal advice ASAP and write a letter to them, am currently writing notice of action which they replied with by 26 days u must fight this otherwise u will lose everything
