Hi, I just won my appeal for PIP. It was quite a simple argument. I was originally awarded pip then, after a few months, I received a letter stating that because i didn't visit my GP over 2020 and half of 2021, my condition is not that serious and so, the benefit was to be taken away.

Obviously, during this period, we were advised by the government to not go to the GP, so the argument seems silly to me.

Anyway, just wanted to say, don't give up, appeal, appeal, appeal.

    What a ridiculous thing to say. Not surprised the tribunal didn't see it that way.

    Welcome to the community @decado :)

    Great result! Well done. I hope that's taken a weight off of your mind? 

    And yes, that seems like a pretty strange argument from them to me...
