Getting PIP is not about all the medical conditions you have had over the years it's about how these conditions affect your ability to carry out the PIP descriptors at the present time

As poppy keeps telling people me also PIP is not about your illnesses or disability, it’s about your abilities to cope manage activities in your daily life according to the PIP descriptors. So if you can do all the PIP descriptors with ease and are able to complete the mobility part then the acessor has completed the acessment as requested by the DWP and the decision maker has awarded you acordingly.

Can't do much then or at this present time

It really is unfair how these assessments our worked out I don’t understand how they can say things are easy when during the assessment they don’t even get you to try and do them but they have a really strict criteria and because they had accepted a lot of people on Dla that they had given indefinitely like me just like they took me off incapacity benefit and put me on ESA I think they are trying to reduce the amount of people on PIP 2 about a third of people that were claiming DLA. Sorry to read that they have given you zero points I think you have a month to appeal against their decision, good luck xx

A diagnosis makes no difference for PIP. If you don't meet the descriptors there's no points given for an award.Did you send evidence? if so what evidence did you send? Letters from a GP, future appointment letters, and those that state a diagnosis won't help a claim for PIP. The evidence you send needs to state how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.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.

I have had nurses come to my house but was a waste of time as didn't help my mental health problems.i don't see a phychtrists anymore as after years of seeing them they could not go any further forward they have kept my files open in case ever want to go back.i see doctor annually for mental health check.i went group CBT and one on one and both made me I'll and I wouldn't leave my bedroom for 6 month and o.d I suffer daily with my problems but now I have no points no money I get not one penny to my name but I've got council tax bills.
