Rejected PIP

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.

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.

I have my P. I. P  tomorrow I have no chance... I'm at the low end I guess but struggle slot everyday.... I can't get any lower that I am at this point...

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.

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.

Ok i'm happy that you have had know problems with PIP poppy123456 it just at my assessment in the report it had i had know Mental Health Problems as i know road signs as is assessment did not look at the info from my doctor that i was in counselling for my Severe Depression and Anxiety and that the Psychiatric medication i'm on is at the top dose that you can take so who is right the  Assessor at my assessment or my Doctor and the Mental Health councillor or do you go with the Assessors can read a road sign Assessment on Mental Health you tell me.

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%.
 

So twonker  you are going with the assessments are actually working that good to know then how is it that the amount asking for a tribunal as gone up every year on year ?????????????????????????????????
