PIP and hearings aids

I always wanted to be a lawyer, but life took a different turn, maybe that's why I have this approach?

Not being able to complete an activity that someone else finds easy isn't going to help you. It's not about someone else, it's about you. I can see in some parts you're moving away from what you should be focusing on. Please make sure it's relevant to you, not anyone else. Keep it relevant to the descriptors.You don't need a lawyer or need to be one for a successful PIP award and you most certainly do not need to pay anyone for any help.0

I will definitely delete this from my MR.When I meant that you have to be a lawyer,
I meant that a simple person writes an application and honestly describes what problems
I have and honestly answers questions. And in return he gets a rejection.
And the justification is that since I paid for fuel 9 months ago, it's OK now.
Because I go to the doctor, I don't have a problem with people (although I clearly described the problem).
When she asks me if I go to the store ? and I answer truthfully that I don't go because I can't hear what the salesman is talking (I didn't have hearing aid yet) and she writes that I go to the store, then is ok.
So how should I approach this MR ?I've seen in other cases that if you're not taking pills, it means you're OK.But also, like me, if you take the pills and they are effective, it's also ok.As you can see, two different situations and the same answer is OK.0 -
Then Heaven help those that are not that clued up on what the descriptors actually mean if there is no chance of them accessing any sort of professional help - charity or whatever - to guide them through the claim.poppy123456 said:The PIP self test isn't reliable at all unless you fully understand the PIP descriptors. The only time i will ever post a link to that is when someone has the assessment report and it's easier to work out any points that maybe recommended.It's not just the reliability, it's everything else you need to understand too.
Personally I have never asked anybody for help, not that it wouldn't help me, but that there were long waiting lists at best and it would be too far for me to travel - 80+ miles for one advice agency!0 -

Which includes guides to help to fill the form in.Many people claim PIP successfully without expert advice.0 -
If the issue is at work you should have a DWP WORK PLACE ASSESSMENT as you comment clearly shows the lack of disability awareness with the employer0

I'm not sure who your comment is referring too because the thread is about a PIP claim, not about working.

I'm sure they do but there are others that won't as (a) they would find using the computer to understand what is written and (b) they would be happier to let a WRO help with advice and with writing a MR (that's if there is someone reasonably local)poppy123456 said:2oldcodgers said:
