Hello yesssssss

Signed
I do like this bit -
However, PIP already recognises that for the most severely disabled claimants, the award review process could seem unnecessarily intrusive. That is why we introduced changes so that existing claimants with the most severe, lifetime disabilities, whose functional ability has remained the same, are more likely to have their evidence reviewed by a DWP Decision Maker and will not need to have a face-to-face assessment with a healthcare professional.
I wonder who would be classed as the 'most severely disabled claimants'?
Let's be honest with my problems at 70, none of which will ever improve and are life limiting, a 3 year award was the norm!!

Dont give up, that’s what they want us to do, get help, even write to your MP we have. It’s disgusting what they put disabled people through. Putting in a new claim now for PIP so going through it all again, as have new diagnosis’s and three referrals back to MH in last nine months, even though I have ‘some mental health’ it said in appeal. Grrr it makes me so annoyed all this!

Time this stuff about walking was stopped.
I see so many posts about it mostly it just confuses both the people and the staff.
I beleive with most people it differs day to day.
Need to write to our Mps -
Hi all, I am doing my dissertation research on the switch from DLA to PIP. As a disabled student who had to go through this rather degrading process (after being awarded life long DLA due to the extent of my disability) I have decided to do my own research on this and the opinion of other disabled people and their feelings towards the change and how they feel society views them as a whole. I will soon be looking for volunteers to talk to me about it if anyone would be interested.
Thank you! -

I am 66, been on DLA, full for care and mobility, since 2000. I will never get better. I`ll take part in your research once I know what`s happening.
People keep telling me I`ll be ok...wont believe that till I get the letter! -
Thank you so much for agreeing to help me. I will be in contact as soon as I have began my dissertation.
Its an incredibly stressful situation to go through when it comes to the transition from DLA to PIP. I hope you get the result you need.
Thanks again! -
I've got physical and mental health issues. Currently on ESA Support Group. Been recommended to apply for PIP - but dreading it. I have a "Support Worker" who I had to resource myself and recently found out he is best friends with someone who abused me on Facebook. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do I tell organization I no longer want him as SW which entails telling them why or do I just cancel my connection with them and face life without help? He is a decent guy but what happens if weren't in town together and we bump into the guy who abused me? Newcastle-upon-Tyne is poorly served with helpful agencies especially for more mature folks such as myself.

I wouldn’t go without support because someone abused you, that’s not your fault. If it would make you feel uncomfortable knowing your SW is best friends with the abuser, I would recommend asking for a new one. You can always say it’s due to personal issues, do you need to give the exact reason? I hope this works out for you!
