I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances, and I'm sorry to hear about your PIP outcome too. Are you appealing the decision?

Well done Cotter, Go for it. Mandatory, the Tribunal, if required. I got told 'If at first you don't succeed try-try again'. Keep fighting & they'll soon get fed up.

DWP may just go ahead with the decision without waiting for the evidence, i've heard this happen many times before.Letters of evidence from a GP aren't the best because a GP very rarely knows how your conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors.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.
