PIP Appeal

I have had my PIP taken off me just like that. The letter says a doubt has arisen regarding my health conditions. I can't imagine how they have come to think this I don't work anymore and I am waiting for a spinal procedure amongst other things. The DWP just do what they like! What sort of people can do this to others?

When my daughter had her first face to face assessment she could hardly speak due to facial pain...was struggling walking and the assessor said he could see how she was struggling ! Didnt ask her to do things because of the pain.in the report it said she was well presented and didnt seem anxious at all ... she suffers from fybromyalgia and has had to run down her business as mobile hairdresser to the bare minimum which she has just a handful of clients that understand she cant always deliver her service !at 33 with 3 children under 5 she has to rely on family and friends to help .stress and fybro do not go well together ...do they not care in the least what this does to people !
Its upsetting to see how she tries to cope and yet feels like shes having to beg for help !!!

Maybe someone has passed info about you to the fraud hotline?

I totally get it as one of my illnesses is fibromyalgia and it is an absolutely awful debilitating illness that no one takes seriously !! What I say is people need to educate themselves on this illness before passing any judgement or pretending to understand, cos trust me until u suffer from this illness yourself or live with some who does then u have no idea what we go through daily.
Keep fighting! -
I really don't know what's going on I had an face to face assessment in August 2017 why stop it now?
-
The assessor told my daughter that he had to read up on this illness as they didnt know enough about it ... are these people heartless ?x
-
I have ME/CFS which has no proven medical cause so it is very like fibromyalgia I wake up some days feeling that my soul has been dragged from my body. I have a plethora of other proven medical ailments with many hospital appointments next month. I have contacted my MP for support he says he will look into it so we shall see.

Durely they shouldnt just stop it without first speaking to you ? Your gps have all the history so why is this not enough ? Last week my daughter asked for a written report and her gp said all gps have been told by dwp they have NOT to write letters of support ...what does this tell us ...my daughter was sat there crying in agony and was prescribed morphine as a last resort ! X

My doctor somethings had to refer to an American doctors website but it is know it’s just that it’s a complex illness that no one even the doctors don’t fully understand so they choose to dismiss it.
I am very fortunate that my doctor is more clued up on fibro and is such a big help. He has written me a really good letter of support but wether they take it into acccount is another issue. -
Lindann... have the DWP really said that doctors can’t write letters of support ? My gp has written me one only last week ?
-
When did your gp write your letter as they have been stopped from doing it now x
-
Last week
-
I hate to make it political on here but the ******* tories are grinding us all down to the bone, its disgusting!

Why would they stop this it’s insane surely ones GP knows best on the individuals health. It’s ridiculous
-
Mpreston ...yes my daughter asked last fri and gp said she was so sorry but they can no longer do it as told by dwp !
-
Well i was with her when she told her !gp said she didnt agree but was nothing she could do x
-
Lindaann: Wow that’s crazy. Just unreal and so unfair. Maybe it’s a new thing and I just managed to get one in time. So sorry to hear that
