My PIP ISSUE
And I don't intend to be mean or sound mean. But even though I'm disabled people see me more capable than most. But I'm stuck in the middle of both worlds. For example. I want to go to college oh I'm sorry we can't help you with your learning disability. Tries to join a disabled club sorry your not disabled enough or I'm to capable. I can see why people think I'm able or even normal. But i am disabled. People think i can work. I could but it would be keeping the job that's the bloody problem. I would work if I could. Every day is different. Let's say for example I worked at Tesco. They'd eventually make me redundent for not always attending. (I get sick lots, I'm not always able, I can't make myself otherwise I'd be sick with stress or just other things) so yeah I'm stuck between two rocks.. any advice or something or views would be appreciated. ???♂️

A very warm welcome to the Community. so sorry it has taken so long to answer your query
Thank you for reaching out to us, and sharing your story,my goodness you have been treated a tad unfair,to say the least. I think I would have to appeal this, sometimes I think PIP is a postcode lottery (just my own private opinion) I am sorry to hear this though it always upsets me when these assessors don't play fair. please have a look at the following link it might help
