    The success rate of MR's have always been low and only 18% of decisions change. Not sure what a local MP can do about that.
    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.

    Well at least I'm doing something about it. It's a start, unless you know who to contact, who can do something about it ? Strange why you don't share my outrage over this.
    If you fight, you won't always win. But if you don't fight you will always always lose.

    It's been known for a long time that only 20% of MRs win.  If MPs have tried to do something about it, they've not been successful, of course.  All those unsuccessful at MR can do is appeal to a tribunal - where 71% win.

    Of course it bothers me but what good is it going to do me by getting angry about it..... nothing. I've never had any problems claiming PIP and neither has my daughter.

    Not every disabled person is entitled to PIP.

    It sounds very much like my assessment. I suffer with a Cerebral Spinal Leak which was caused by a spinal block 7 years ago and it’s symptoms  are unbelievably painful and debilitating. I also suffer with an Eroded Trans Vaginal Orbatrator  Tape which is also extremely painful and debilitating and throws in continence into the mix as well. She admitted that she’d never heard of it. This has brought on Fibromyalgia and causes me great difficulty with everyday living. I also suffer with Bipolar. These conditions are far to complex for a Physiotherapist to have enough knowledge and experience of to make an informed decision. She concentrated on depression only and not the manic side of Bipolar and repeatedly insisted that the pain in my back from the spinal block until I finally agreed with her. The pain in my lower back, groin, hips, legs and feet are due to the eroded tape. I haven’t received my report yet but I’m not holding out much hope and am already preparing for a mandatory consideration.

    In fact the majority of PIP claimants actually get the award that they are entitled to without any problems. It's only a very small number of claimants that need to go to appeal - less than 1%.

    Many applicants get the award they think they DON'T deserve - but they can't face going beyond MR, and some don't even ask for MR.
