    My husband went to her first assessment and the young paramedic that interviewed her said i can tell how youre suffering ...dont worry with all my information you will qualify ...they arent meant to say that but they were his words !

    My assessment report was full of false information. Stuff I did not even say.

    Hills41 if that's the case I have nothing more I can do about it .  I have already sent in an appeal although they said I can't and I have an appointment with the citizens Advice next week.  I will keep on fighting but my health is poor and some days I don't have the strength to do it.

    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?
    Are you being investigated for benefit fraud?

    Maybe someone has passed info about you to the fraud hotline? 
    Well I can't think what they would say if they have.  What a cruel thing to do!

    Hooley101: Fibro is an invisible illness as is all my other illnesses and people often comment that I look normal ! That was in my assessment too. 
    So going back to someone reporting u just makes me so angry really does.. how do they know what u are going through or what u are suffering from. NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE.

    My g p wrote me a letter at appeal. I think we need to see the facts about this if possible, I wasnt aware the DWP could tell doctors what to do. I would get a second opinion.

    Hi guys got my tribunal decision today - declined!!! 
    I’m in shock! 
    I don’t understand how they came to this decision .. I use many aids, I can’t work . Can’t cook can’t walk far can’t go out much, can’t shower without help can’t dress without help the list goes on. And I have a strong letter of support from my doctor. I really don’t know where I go from here

    @Mickey1

    Sorry to hear your bad news.  You can appeal to an upper tribunal if there has been an error of law.  You need to ask judge for a statement of reasons and then show this to CAB, local authority welfare rights or a solicitor to id an error of law if there was one.  Or you can make a new PIP claim right away.  remember, PIP is awarded for how your conditions affect your daily living and mobility.  Try to get f2f advice from CAB or similar, or welfare rights.

    Mickey1 So sorry to hear your bad news.  The whole process is a terrible ordeal for most of us.  I think the CAB is our only hope I have an appointment on Monday.  Good luck
