This is a question from http://www.twitter.com/PrincessMissDee on Twitter:

"Does anybody here know what you can do if you've been denied PIP, your DLA is being stopped but the appeals process for PIP is months long?"

    see a specialist welfare benefits advice centre, we have one in Grimsby that has helped with ESA forms and appeals, and more recently PIp, taking much of the pressure off me, but they happen to be very good whereas my local citizens advice not so. Pip

    I agree with pip, get in touch with a local organisation offering welfare benefits advice. Please contact us at the helpline and we will help you find some local advice. I would prefer to speak to you in person to get a bit more background about what happened but feel free to continue this discussion if this is your preferred method of contact.

    Best wishes
