Hi there. Joined because was reading what everyone has been saying. I am 67yrs and just had all my PIP stopped despite having end of life COPD. I am gutted. The accessor didn't even mention my breathing. Have already complained, but it's the waiting and the hardship. Am in for a long fight. X

Hi @EastEndgirl, I'm really sorry to hear about your PIP decision. I assume you've already put in for a Mandatory Reconsideration? In the meantime, please keep in touch and get involved with the discussions around here and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Hi @EastEndgirl and welcomeAs a fellow COPD sufferer I can understand how frustated you must be.In many ways COPD can seem like an invisible condition, so it is important to send as much evidence as you can.Do you have a Community Respiritory Team looking after you ?What medication do you take ?Do you have home oxygen therapy ?These are all things that can help to show you are not just a bit out of breathBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
