I have been struggling to sleep as I am been really worried about if I should do this video. I decided that the reason I set up this channel is I wish this information had been available when I was first chronically ill.
And I wish someone had told me this. Out of all of the e-mails and the comments, NONE of you are asking for this sort of information and its FREAKING ME OUT. I hope this helps

WHO AM I:
My name is Charlie and I am disabled. I live with chronic illness, I have a severe form of Psoriatic Arthritis and its crap! I am in pain all the time and always battling fatigue. BUT, I will not let it win. I love to learn and to laugh (even though it hurts my arthritic rib cage LOL). You will often see Ollie (she) my black Labrador. She is currently my trainee assistance dog! We are together, literally ALL the time.
As there are a number of awful people who target us - the vulnerable - here is a link to my personal LinkedIn account. You can literally see the past 25+yrs of my career, people who have recommended me (as a Logistician as Disability Specialist is very new for me).

Thank you so much for reading all of this
Charlie
Charlie you are doing a wonderful job thank you. And you deserve to be paid for the work that you do.
I have gone through the assessment process twice which turned out ok both times, since then I have become even worse with my conditions with a great deal more of evidence, I can’t say I hopeful each time but I can’t get up from my bed without having the risk of collapsing which is happening more frequently. I still dread the brown envelope but I always have help which is needed but watching your uploads gives me faith so if someone has no idea how the process works please listen and maybe sign up for this as it can be scary. Well done Charlie and hope your health gets back to a better level
I have just got full pip last week.
Same but i only got it for 4 years, do they think a broken back will heal up?🤣
That is awful. 🙏
Ignore the trolls! You are ONE IN A MILLION.
I got my pip .thank you for your help xxx
Well done 👏. I know what she says is true because i went through same just getting DLA, it's like playing chess with these people, but if you learn chess then you have an equal footing. Bless you and i hope now you have what is rightly yours your life will be alittle bit better for it.
Why wouldn't anyone agree with consulting on PIP lol? People are morons. PIP can be hard to get right. People need the service you provide.
Thank you Charlie I trust you wholely because I have learnt so much, at first it was hard to get my head around the fact that it's not what illnesses you have but how it affects your daily life, + I have learnt that it takes time and patience to go through the form, and when have your assessment try to get it by phone and practice answering their questions, listen to your videos you will explain in detail, so now I have got PIP because I listened carefully to you over and over, so thank you so so much ❤
Good morning Charlie, hope you’re well?
Thank you.
I applied 6 weeks ago by phone STIL awaiting for the forms! Been SIX WEEKS NOTHING! and i rung em up THREE tines to chase em up!!!! I applied last year got turned down I'm beginning to think they are deliberately NOT sendn me the forms! My GP refuses to support me or run tests I have asked for due to my symptoms but to no avail despite the 24/7 pain in my joints the weakness on my legs and brain fog and forgetfulness I hate it and have lost every job I've ever had in the last 10 years due to my health issues
If your pleas to the GP full on death ears then you need to force the issue and ask to speak with someone else, I had the same issue and moaned and moaned... got someone else and had tests, persistence is definitely key.
Hi you can get a second opinion Plus they have a duty of care mention that the next time you visit the g p
Yes since February I’ve been waiting for forms, phoned them to tell them I didn’t get it, they sent out a second lot at the beginning of April …still not received them and I only have to 3rd May to have them back ….I’m pulling my hair out with worry as this is my review. It’s like they want me to fall off
@@monicaduncan7109 , damn sounds like a lot of trouble. I had my claim form sent via email, but prefer paper forms and they arrived the very next day... typical DWP shenanigans, some people are great at posting, others leave things in the out tray for later.
@@richardajoy79 I understand one form not turning up BUT the second one. I’ll have to phone them tomorrow, however I hate filling in forms online as I’m not tec savvy. I may not have a choice though as the end date is approaching
Thank you. I love the channel and the passion to be believed 💚🤘
Thankyou ,you are very much appreciated.
Thank Charlie, good idea in my opinion
Thank you for help.
great video Ace channel my PIP ends march 2025 so i would DEFINITELY sign up for this
sounds like an excellent idea.
thank you for all you do i have my phone assessment tomorow am dreading it .
How did you do Jamie?
How was it
You are amazing. I may look into your sessions in the future when my head is in a better space. I am not eligible myself but support others applying. You have made me think deeper before answering the questions x
I have just won at tribunal for someone. But not at the rate they should have been awarded. They're happy but I will be better prepared next time
I just done a CoC on PIP and the agree my condition has worsened (ME) but not budged on original points. She states the following
This was written by the decision maker…..
You said you have difficulties preparing food and dressing and undressing. Your symptoms of pain remain consistent with your conditions and previous decision. Although you report the need for assistance, this is not supported as you have adequate grip to utilise aids and drive a car. I decided you need an aid to manage these activities.
I have functional issues with my right hand ( it cramps and locks up when I use it for cutting, opening jars etc) I am right handed and drive a car which means I use my left hand for all gripping in car!!!
I am going to do an MR
They are evil bustards ... ME is a degenerative disability. Definitely do the MR .. they can only judge hypothetical or the moment in time your being interviewed so what right have they to say what they have 😢
Create a course Charlie. You're going to be exhausted trying to help individuals. Then create a community on Skool and keep adding resources for a monthly subscription, or a lifetime membership.
Add admins to help you run this.
Once setup, you'll have minimal things to do, and you'll be reaching far more people than you possibly can trying to do group sessions and 1-1 coaching.
It's been to late for me hun at this time I wish I could have watched all your utube channel videos sooner. I'm going to see if I can fight it myself first hun but if the outcome doesn't change then I might pay for you privately my friend xx
My daughter who is ill herself is making herself more ill because her autistic child has just turned 16 and must apply for pip
Hey Charlie, You are a star💫 The info you give to help is amazing!! ♥️
I wonder if you can help me?? I cannot plan a route and/or carry that route out on my own but they’ve said I can!! What do I do to change this please?? I don’t go anywhere unless I’m with someone now. 😢 x
Goodluck Charlie you do so much for people and for no monetary gain.. You deserve your new venture to work. I'm sure you won't look back 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I went into this PIP process rather unprepared. Had the assessment about three weeks ago. Just recently asked for and received a copy of the report which showed I was deficient in points. I've written to PIP in the hope they haven't yet made their decision, pointing out the areas where I think the report fails to reflect my condition and even reflect the conversation during the assessment itself.
The question now is, will my letter make any difference? The way the report is presented, it's tempting to think that whoever makes the decision will just look at the score provided by the assessor and that's it. I'm wondering now whether, outside of the appeal process, a claimant can communicate their misgivings about the assessment and be taken seriously.
Hi Charlie, you said the cours is 3 hours long! Do you split the lessons at all, or is it all in one go? I couldn't keep my concentration for 3 hours, too ill, . Can you let me know please.
Hi Charlie - the link to your consultancy booking page is broken
Last December I received a letter from MD and they said no. My MH went into a nose dive and thought what is the point in me taking it to tribunal. Now, I received the letter over a month after the expiry date to send in forms for the tribunal. Now, I am in a better space I am seriously thinking of fighting the decision and it's actually not about the money for me, it's about the fact they felt I did not deserve it other the phone calls and sending 2 letters describing how it is for me living with BPD. I even had to have my brother talk to them because I broke down. The phone calls and letter were for a MD. Every time I see something about PIP, I get so upset because I feel I am not worth it. So, I am going to educate myself and take this to tribunal.
Hi Charlie,so the lovely people at pip can't make there mind up .
I got min pip 5 years ago but before that full pip.
So after sending my review in before Christmas I got a letter this week saying they have extended it another year????? But didn't say it would be backdated if they increase it .
So stressful.
It's an unforgiving stupid practice what our government has done. Like i wrote in my main comment we need people power, independent. They say citizens advice is independent 😂😂 what a joke. I feel this wonderful woman could teach what she know and make this a much bigger resource, unfortunately it's how the world works now, no more does one voice help the masses, because that one voice is very limited to what they now can achieve. She needs help, she even said she didn't sleep because of this video, that's not good for her, i admire her but i worry for her to. These days most are in it for themselves, that needs to change.
Let them know you need it backdated, call them
Hey Charlie I've been up all night worrying about my call today from capita. They rang me 2 both times putting the phone down as soon as I answered. I didn't get the 3rd call but when I rang them they saying that 3 calls have been logged none of them answered now gotta go through the stress of waiting 5 working days for a response if not I uave to ring them
It doesn't matter if you understand their trick questions the assessors will still lie about your answers.
Hi charlie how much is it to have help with review forms
Hi Charlie, Can I get help with you?
Sounds to me like your PIP sessions would be VERY useful for local support workers. I know you wouldn't want to ovetload your sessions for notmsl claimants with them, but perhaps you could do special sessions just for them? Or record a session and sell it to them?
Is PIP for people who can't work, or for people who struggle to live independently at home? The questions seem to be around living at home. I ask because I have been refused PIP twice. My struggles are more in the work environment but I am physically capable of cooking, washing, cleaning, etc. I'm not good at doing it when I should, and I often don't take my medication, but I am physically capable. I too would love to be back at work but companies seem far less tolerant to disabilities these days. At least around where I live.
People that are in the workforce claim PIP it is not if you work or not it is how your conditions affect you.
I thought I was honest and then they told me I got no points was so upset and angry are u able to help grovel
You are a one man army. And i know this sounds horrible but facts are facts. We have these organisations like citizens advice etc, but even they are pulled down by their respective council. We need an independent army. I love you, infact ive met you, long story lol. But we need a system run by independently run people. Ofcours they will need to be paid, and thats fine. I just feel you, even though you are a godsend wont be around for ever. Have you ever thought about training people to understand what you do, and then they train others and it goes down the line. We need people power. Even getting ELA is hard if you dont know that you can ask to speak to a person who deals with your case, mine was mental health, so the clinic i go to helped me request i have someone who understands mental health. Im not sure if pip is like this because ive not applied, i feel im not yet deserving of pip, not yet anyway at 53 even my health is going down hill and thats another issue we have in this country. But thats a separate thing. Any way, i really do feel we need to look at the bigger picture I.e resources, you are a resource in definition, but we need more independent people like yourself, it would also help you, and you would leave this green earth with a legacy. Nobody can help 20.odd thousand people by themselves. I hope my words dont come accros rude, but unfortunately this is the reality. You are a one man army, putting so much time into one case at a time, why not use your knowledge to train others to know the issues and ways of getting Pip, its just a though my love. God bless and plz get some rest..plz dont run yourself into the ground like so many strong dedicated people do.
Practice is important, as is rereading your form. Take someone with you and ask for the assessment to be recorded. You seem to be taken more seriously that way.
I like your RUclips videos they are great but I had found your videos after I had resent my pip claim form in there was you saying do not send it in on their post and I had just gone and done it the due date for the form to be returned was the 4th of feb 2024 which came and went the DWP texted me asking me had I sent the form back in and I said I had sent it in on the 19th of jan 2024 so I left it at that my friend kept saying I will have to redo the form which I didn't want to because of all the stuff that was with the form just when I had decided to contact them about it I got a text from pip saying they had got my form on the 8th of march 2024 almpst 2 months after I had sent it in so if there is a next time to do my pip again it will go first class recorded even if I have to borrow the money.
£1.2k per session plus pip, plus RUclips plus benefits plus side gig. you are raking it 😂😂😂
Don't be silly, she's not "the black belt Barrister"! 😂
There seems to be such a wide variety of experiences described by people regarding the PIP process, so much of it seems random. The assessor I encountered was a physiotherapist. My problem is migraine and vertigo. Different specialism. I got less points than I need. What if I'd seen a neurologist? The report describes my condition from a physiotherapeutic perspective, not a neurological one. I know disciplines overlap, but I feel it's a system cobbled together. I also see lots of jobs advertised for PIP assessors. Are people applying to assess conditions outside their area of expertise?
I don’t get it if you need practice it then you shouldn’t be getting pip because if your condition is bad enough to get pip then you don’t need to practice anything you will be telling the truth
You poor deluded innocent, if only it were that simple.
They try and trick you ... befriend you....
It’s a tiring process and it’s important to remember the qualifying points that you are being assessed for rather than going off on complete tangents as many people do. This not only elongates the assessment time, frustrates the assessors and can be a negative for a client who has real need of pip.
Been watching a lot of our videos what are really interesting. Was just wondering do you also have videos for the work capability assessments for Univeral Credit and ESA? I lost a "fit for work" assessment recently and also lost at tribunal and now not long left a job due to mental health reasons and struggling with long days etc. And now feel I may have to try and get limited capability back on my UC as I feel the tribunal was wrong.
How do I engage your services please ? I like you do not wish to be on benefits! PIP have lied unbelievably on 2 occasions to me it’s actually breaking the law if I could have a contact for you I’d be grateful as I feel I could also help others in the same situation to myself I have sent you a request on LinkedIn in Thanks
