Refused PIP
Desperado
Community member Posts: 2 Listener
Hiya. .just feeling so despondent . I have been refused PIP again and feel the assessor lied about my assessment. What do I do? Feeling so stressed and upset as my physical conditions are restricting my life massively and then there's my mental issues...severe depression which is worsening as time goes on. Why don't they understand how all this affects everything in my life. Feel like giving up

Hi @Desperado
Have you requested a mandatory review? Also did you get a copy of the assessment report?As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
I'm sorry to hear about the problems you're having with PIP. As @Geoark mentions, have you requested a mandatory reconsideration? We have lots of useful information about appealing a DWP benefits decision on our website.You mention giving up - if you are having thoughts of suicide, it is important that you discuss them with someone who is qualified to help. Please call the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) or email them at jo@samaritans.org. You might also benefit from reading MIND’s information on how you can help yourself.Liam

Are you represented or not? That can make it a bit easier for you. My son’s amazing social worker offered to come to our tribunal and lend moral support too.
She helped me with the paperwork and she called them on my behalf once or twice to see if they had made a decision yet. I’d also recommend contacting CAB for advice or support. How much evidence did you send with the claim form? Make sure that you get a copy of your assessment report for peace of mind.
How far along are you in the process? What stage are you at? Good luck to you. I hope you are awarded what you deserve. And I hear you. I felt like giving up the day I read the assessment report that was sent to my email address.
But I’m going to advise you to try again. Keep checking on things too. Keep us posted on what happens next. It is definitely worth the hassle eventually but it is hard, isn’t it? -

Being represented at a Tribunal doesn't mean they will speak on your behalf, they are not allowed to do that. If you are your son's appointee then you will be able to speak on behalf of him. If you're not then he'll have to answer all the questions himself. This is because the Tribunal will want him to tell them in his own words how his conditions affect him.
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.
