    Hi Sam12

    Please do not worry, this is a standard letter sent to all who appeal to the tribunal. It does not mean that your appeal will not be allowed
    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    I’ve just had exactly the same thing. It’s nothing to worry about, just carry on with the tribunal hearing. I was on DLA for 11 years & hot downgraded, lies in the assessors report. Going to fight it, they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. Hope youve been reassured x

    @sam12 What a horrible thing for them to say!!! Don't listen - you are valuable, and you deserve to be here. I've also ended up in A&E due to self-harm, and the last time it was because of PIP! 

    So you're waiting for a tribunal appeal now? It sounds like having help with this process would be really good for you. Do you have a mh nurse or worker who can help? If not, can you ask your mh doctor if any are available? The Citizen's Advice Bureau may be able to help (they're extremely busy, tho, and underfunded). Your council may have a Welfare Rights team who could help. If you live in supported housing, there may be someone there. If there's a Mind in your area, they might know someone who can help...
    This whole process is really hard for a lot of people, and having support can really help. 

    You might want to call the Tribunal Court and tell them that there are safeguarding issues with you. I don't know what they can recommend, but it's worth trying.

    With love and solidarity,
    Waylay

    Welcome to the community @sam12 I am sorry to hear this. How are you doing today? 

    As @Ami2301 mentioned please get in touch with the Samaritans, if you need someone to talk to and please call 999 or go to your local hospital right away, if you are in immediate danger. 

    We have videos on our YouTube channel on PIP appeal here, you may find useful.

    Please keep us updated after your assessment on the 23rd April, if you have any questions, please let us know. :)

    Really sorry to read/hear this Sam12, I've got mental health problems myself and sometimes it's really hard work and what makes it worse is when people don't understand or want to understand. I also had a problem with my previous neighbour and noise, I ended up moving home because of how it was affecting me. These assessments and lies that are told don't help either, they can have a detrimental affect on a lot of people's health.

    Please remember, you don't have to do it alone, there are places like the Samaritans who I've contacted myself previously who are very helpful and good at listening, if you can't talk to them via phone they do have email contact as well.

    Hello @sam12, I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend. Please keep us updated if you find anything out.
    With regards to your noisy neighbour, I can only advise that you keep a diary of her excessive noise. You can find out what your local authority's procedure for making a noise complaint is here.

    Going back to what Ami and Antonia have both said, please remember that as a member of our community, you are important to us and you might find MIND's information about distracting yourself from the urge to self-harm useful. It's also important that you discuss any thoughts of self-harm with someone who is qualified to help. Are you able to contact your mental health team at all, if not there's also the option of calling the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) or email them at jo@samaritans.org
