In this video, we're giving you accurate information about the latest PIP updates from DWP. Don't be misled by other channels - get the real facts here!
What people don't see if they're not disabled, is you have to pay for everything. Things like having your toe nails cut which can cost up to £40. If you have pets. Dog walkers charge. Cleaners. Etc. I'm sure anyone reading this who can relate to this, understands the sheer frustration. I would do anything to be in full health and not be dependent on a government. When a pompous, rich and unrelatable tosser Prime minister tries to demean people on benefits, it makes my blood boil
Hi thanks for putting this video up. It has helped calm my worries. I rely heavily on my PIP payment to help with daily living issues and find that the way it is currently paid suits my needs perfectly. It has allowed me to purchase the rise and recline chair I need and the Walker I use to get about. It allows me to purchase the personal items that my condition needs. If they changed it to vouchers it would be much less flexible. Truthfully without this money I would struggle to afford to live. Just recently it seems that disabled people and those suffering long term illnesses seem to be on the receiving end of a lot of flak and this is the last thing we need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah... none of those options involving the government deciding what you can spend money on is acceptable. How very Dickensian. Truly, we live in the worst timeline if people think that's an acceptable proposal. If only all government ministers were required to live solely on standard rate UC and PIP, no expenses budget, no jobs outside of being a minister, and it being made outright illegal for them to change themselves over to anything other than standard rate UC and PIP without a 60% majority in public referendum, I think we'd see immediate change.
Another way to track claimants that are claiming pip what they spend also monitoring what they are purchasing just like the pensioners required a app for Iceland to receive a discount. All about control and making money for these private companies.
FEAR FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL Don’t listen to it because fear is used to plant in your mind don’t allow it in. People are allowed to survive that are unwell the benefit is there for people who aren’t able like others to participate in the world or consistently and reliably, safely, we still have a right as humans to live and they cannot treat us like that it’s inhumane leaving us to die. Please don’t worry and do not allow fear in. Sending love to people who are porely and worrying, I didn’t sleep at all listening to it but I refuse to worry. I’m not well enough I need to concentrate on getting through my day without extra worry.
We still have to fight this we can't just hide our heads in the sand. I feel suicidal , if the Tories win this is their plan....food vouchers....we will live in abject poverty if this goes through and Labour's Racheal Reeves said they will be even tougher on benefits. I'm bed bound 90% of the time , I can't work no matter how big they make the stick.
exactly once money is relienquished it no longer is owned by that person and therefore should not be of their interest as to where it is spent, im pretty sure there is an old english law that states this..
Keep it up Rich this boils my blood feel like getting a job working inside for the dwp or a pip assessor and scoring everyone points for justice for two months and whistleblowing them and leave the employment.
We as a nation need to stand up government told everyone to get the vaccine jab or your not allowed on holiday or return to work say no to vouchers enough is enough what next after vouchers CCTV outside each disabled claimant house curfew after 6pm if your disabled or unemployed tell them to get stuffed.
It costs me £120 for a taxi to take me to and from the hospital, for each appointment, because I live rurally and there are never any ambulance transport vehicles available. I doubt the taxi would be happy with a voucher.
@@gbhxu Once in a blue moon I get a lift home if the timing is right or if I've spent the night in a ward. I do consider PIP as being there for things like this. It's not for me to buy jewellery etc for myself. I also buy stock for my carers. They come in 4 x a day and I provide the various personnel cleaning etc products.
I think a good start for the dwp would be to actually listen to the medical professionals and not just go with policy’s that destroy disabled people also if the dwp was also honest and admit not everyone on benefits is conning the system because they always seem to miss out that 3 billion pounds a year goes unclaimed from people who deserve it but are afraid of the system and been called a big to a dog for asking for help
£36 BILLION spent on a useless test and track app. £12 million a day spent on you know what and rising every minute. Endless money for wars . Something is going to really give soon.
What the point having a system everyone getting pananoid seen a guy in the job centre having panic attacks being late 3 minutes for a appointment the system create fear.
Thank you so very much for doing this video. I have been so very stressed and worried about being misunderstood by the DWP. My partner has set up youtube and my online repeat prescription accounts, because i am very dyslexic and did not do well in a class room environment, when i was trying to learn the commuter, on previous government courses. I have sleep apnea, Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, clinical depression, some agoraphobia and other physical health problems. I would physically not last a day, if i was pushed into a job. I did work in the past and did all sorts of jobs to earn money. I cannot follow a bus timetable due to my dyslexia and have to be accompanied when taking a bus journey. I did fight a pip case back in 2019, where my mother attended with me and the adviser shouted at me and my mother was told to be quiet. Because i fought the case until the actual social security took the case on, in January, 2021, the case was done over the telephone. Due to being in part social distancing then. My worry is that i am going to have to go through the whole scenario again!
Its a breach of human rights again, how many times do they have to be told by professionals a person is disabled to keep attacking the same vulnerable people its clear they will keep attacking the vulnerable, you cant pay a carer in vouchers or a taxi and many other things needed
You make several good points about paying others for services, I hope you fill in the form about the green paper and mention these. People want to know they are going to be paid cash to pay their own bills so getting a voucher People will be refusing to help. Also People will trade the vouchers to get copied and then the voucher will be refused just like they tried to forge coins etc
The welfare system needs to be ONLY for the vulnerable people who need support and help, we need to be grateful we have PIP today but maybe not tomorrow the government is hell bent not trying to pay people how would vouchers work it WON'T people need PIP for extra support someone helps them with day to day tasks they cannot do themselves how would you pay a support worker a voucher, this is dangerous the tory party keep lying and scaring people to death this is not funny anymore they know nothing what some people go through day by day. for example just imagine being schizophrenic living day by day medicated up to the eye balls dopey and fatigued feel high on drugs cannot cook or clean, or do simple budgeting going out traveling cannot drive or work but being told no more PIP or universal credit sick payments it's a recipe for disaster
When a tory talks about getting help to those who need it most they mean those likely to die in large numbers before the election! Also, didn't they introduce PIP about 10 yrs ago and now they want to change PIP? So all those who had to go through the awful assessment process went through that for nothing? Thanks for a really helpful video, will be filling in the green paper later (I'll be suggesting they don't send alarming texts at ten past eight on a Bank holiday Monday! B*stards! You are spot on, INDEPENDENCE! All the best to you both.
They sent me a text on Monday stating that they still have my pip form and that I still might have to have a face to face meeting. All the face to faces do is bloody lie
Been off sick for a month. Wanted to go back 2 weeks ago, GP said no. I to,d her I did not want to be one of those people the government was talking about. She said I was in no way just wanting to get money and ignore the government.
I wish people would kick off the way uc claimants kicked off when dwp wanted full access to thier bank. That shut them the fuck up. I don't even claim anything myself. Im claiming nothing. But this scares me. Mental health support is absolutely shit. I've had 1 appointment this year. I don't hold out much hope for more than 2 more
@@DynamicDuoUK I want to know why everyone's so docile atm? Too busy watching corrie to give a fk about anything else. People who are comfortable are too afraid to become a little uncomfortable. In the next 5 years, it'll become unbearable and they'll wish they stepped out and done something. I want to know what they're putting in our water , because this ain't natural. Our grandparents wouldn't put up with this, not even a tiny amount of what were getting. We went through the worst recession ever seen caused by the lockdowns ect and nobody is asking why.
I can confirm at least one. Me. I already suffer badly with mental health issues, and now that I'm signed off, the main cause of my continuing mental health issues is the government in general, the mass media, and the population at large's attitudes toward vulnerable minorities. I learned about fascism in history classes, I shouldn't have to live in it, we had a war about this, damn it.
Let's hope that the next elected government have some empathy and try to walk in the shoes of disabled people, so as to speak! I feel that we need a government that are more in touch with real reality and not their version of reality!
I dont agree or disagree, and can only speak for myself. I had a hellish time when my light touch renewal was done. Met a judge at tribunal who discredited 9 specialists and my gp, called me a liar and made me physically sick. Lost at lower tribunal and refused request to take to upper tribunal. I put a new claim in and was awarded an enhanced rate for both components. My pip was stopped for a year, and i gained another ailment along the way, and i really dont think i could go through it again.
The green paper regarding PIP changes does not end until the end of July so there wont be any changes until at least then and it will be at least another month before we see an actual bill try to be passed as law. What we are getting is the living shit scared out of us for kicks and thats the sickest part of this. An article is the Guardian last week said they more than likely wont introduce ANY welfare reforms until next year and thats ideal for me with the election looming and this lot will be out on their ear. The proposals they put forward are farcical for the most part as what would you use vouchers for in the first place. Mel Stride does not know that people with long term sickness/disabilities have whatever property they live in modified because of their condition so his so called claim they are paid hundreds when all they need is a grab rail is an insult. They all need to piss off and we have people in who know what they hell they are doing
@@DynamicDuoUK The issue is that there will have been people who have already taken their lives over this. The misinformation is whats killing people and we see what the Tory aim is here and thats to have the public fight amongst themselves trying to have the sick and disabled bullied by others as being parasites
We are on very little money for a longer length of time, It's not that we can earn more by way of active work/overtime etc. The gov has wasted billions on bad investments/decisions and now is targeting the most vulnerable/ disabled in our society. PIP is not fit for purpose. why is it always a battle to get the correct points? the assessors manipulate the truth determined to award very few points, then we are forced to appeal in a magistrate court just to win our acknowledgement for PIP allowance. Like the post office scandal, it's a disgrace that causes unnecessary stress.
Your the best channel to do with this alongsides A different bias for the disabled people and people in need Mental health can be just as impactful as physical health
People on benefits spend every penny they get just to live. Often having to go to food banks as the benefits as well as low pay is not enough to live on.
Life is hard enough for the sick and disabled they don’t need this added stress, as stress can make some conditions worse. Treating the sick and disabled like criminals is disgusting, vouchers are of new use to the disabled as many can’t leave the house and depend on online shopping. The sick and disabled that I know are too ill to abuse that money. All this proves is that this Government is out of touch with the struggles of the sick and disabled.They have zero empathy for the sick and disabled. this is wrong on so many levels.
They should stop career politicians by limiting their term to one and then they go to the back benches and spend time assisting other back benchers in the processes of high office. After a term of this, they may be rechosen for the front benches.
Stop all this immigration chaos and save Billions on Hotels, Emergency Services, Pocket Money, Phones/ Data, Food, Coaches, etc Granting asylum only for these people to go straight on benefits.( factual ) Cut the Rwanda money, just turn the boats around and return them.. Look after the real UK citizens first.!!🙄🇬🇧
My council already vet what you spend pip on. As take all your care pip and half ESA. My idea of what’s an essential aid and theirs is very different. I need pay for internet and a landline for a text phone. Neither of which they consider to be a disability expense. Though without it I would have to be given a lot more care hours to do basic banking, shopping and life admin! Any aid which improves quality of life is not counted etc
They don't listen to consultations, unless you are a massive corporation or business. I filled one out before and they still went ahead remember the saying Governments say "they voted me in and i'm doing what is good for my constituency without asking them 😅
Well said & thank you for sharing . The government should overall & reform it's financial priorities , Richie Sunak said that the PIP system is unsustainable & yet Lord David Cameron just promised 3 billion in arms & support to Ukraine & will continue to do so for as long as it takes , it's shocking to say the least . If the benefit system reduces any further it's likely that there will be further widespread civil unrest in the UK on a scale never seen before subsequently costing the UK government far more then the initial benefit system , the government should think very carefully & prioritize those who are vulnerable with health conditions & others who are out of work or indeed in work poor with families that are struggling . There are already medical professionals such as GP's & practitioners in place to provide medical evidence for the claimant , so the fraud factor with the DWP I would imagine is minimal in comparison to the larger figure that are claiming PIP . The government are vey good at hiding behind words , if the benefit system in general is reduced or stopped it will open up a hornets nest with millions that will have nothing to lose & would spell a national disaster on an unimaginable scale .
Well said Julian about Ukraine this country has always been there for other countries in need and don't give a dam about the British people how are we supposed to survive and eat this is just a lot of b*lush*t the government are treating disabled people like scroungers and beggars and saying it's your own fault you are disabled I am disabled I did not choose to be disabled and nor does everyone who is disabled the rules for these benefits was set by the government and DWP and know that are blaming disabled people for claiming benefits thay were told that could claim for and know that want to take them away it's so very hard being disabled and we are always looked down on and the government saying the benefits are compensation for being disabled it just goes to show the government don't give a monkeys for disabled people and how hard it is and is totally unbelievable
That don't help anybody at all. Honestly the DWP I hate pretending to be friends whenever I have to speak to them because I know how much they're trying to shaft me over along with everyone else in the country can't stand it they boil my piss seriously lol
Vouchers were used in the United States back in the 1970s for what they called welfare claimants. It was an attempt to shame into not claiming as you seen at supermarket checkouts with vouchers and the stigma at the time of obviously being a claimant would affect your relationship with people around you. Supposedly so you would be less likely to claim etc. However it didn’t work as people just sold off the vouchers to dealers at half face value etc Whether or not these proposed ones have some kind of bar code I don’t know but I guess it will become a failure. The other side that it encourages crime …. Personally I know of at least two young gentlemen that after having a bad experience with work and the job centre’s sanctions system and the lack actual stable and reasonable paying jobs or training decided to go self employed and became very very successful, one of at the age of twenty four drives a Bentley and has a number of properties… let’s just say he became a pharmaceutical distributor and generator of exotic concoctions. The other gentleman is involved in the armament and weapons trade. Again apparently he doing even better. They both are very thankful and grateful of the DWPs help in developing their successful careers.
Thank you for this, I've been so stressed ive lost sleep over this has triggered my seizures, ive always had uncontrollable epilepsy but stress makes it worse, i am awaiting for them to contact me as i have sent back my review form, its taking some time though i send it in November, they have txt me saying it will be looked at as soon as possible, hearing all the news and watching a certain RUclips channel yesterday got me so worried, as i use aids and now this person is saying aids shouldn't count
100% its all government approved shops etc they want to use so of course it's to make them more money, just leave people on benefits alone let them spend what they want to spend and how they want to spend i say, 85% put back into the economy more than someone who has more money.
@@DynamicDuoUK I've got Crohns Disease, my needs can change on a weekly basis, some weeks I'm left with no money because my needs can be that great some of the time. I can't give a strict amount that would ever idealy suite my needs because its always forever changing. I've been in for a resection, organs seperating, kidney stones removed and they still didn't 'believe' me. Still can't believe that some people can get PIP without NHS evidence, when I literally had to jump through several flaming hoops.. and because I was able to navigate these flaming hoops.. "computer says no" apparently. appauling.
i sit firmly in the "mental health" catagory with mild physical impairment. so a lot of the "reforms" would be no help to me as there is no mental health help or provision in my area. i was born autistic and have A.D.D with a genetic full body tremour. i have tried seeking mental health help and support. i don't manage well in group settings with people i don't know. PIP & the DWP know this. as things currently are i am managing well, my wife who cares for me does most daily things and i do self-therapy (music therapy). the majority of MP's and the british public see me as a scrounger because of this.
@@DynamicDuoUK I’m quite stubborn and strong willed but it does grind you down over time, we’ve had this stigma since the tories took over in 2008, I’m managing but it does get difficult at times
Thanks for the information as always Rich. Can't beleive trolls are still trying to give you crap, and as for the other channels i know you mean Charlie she's a fraud simple as and people are blinded by that it's their own issue! You keep up the good honest work you both do thank you from us and the family!
@@DynamicDuoUKI followed her for 5mins before I read about her charges she charges and also comments on there even yday are very negative towards her I was surprised considering she's meant to earn out of her advice etc as it's not accepted by so many within comments
I've just done my pip review recently and phoned them yesterday and they said there was 50 week backlouge, I have dupuytren's recorring contracture in both hands after 2 failed attempts at operating so I really don't know what they will do for me as its not getting better,I think personally a visual one to one for me as its difficult to explain on paper,really enjoying your advice
I think they are testing there policies with 52k people across the country first, dont know how long for though. Glad you enjoyed Tukey. Both of you take care. Thanks for your programs and updates
Thanks for the video my husband suffers from mental health issues has done from the age of 18 now 52 have I got this right are they trying to descrminate mental health ? Thanks in advance
I commented on one of your videos about my review, saying the latest timescale was 20 to 40 weeks. Today I received a letter saying that the review I had to send in, in Nov 2023, will be completed by June 2025 😳 I know I’ll carry on getting my money but WTF.
@@DynamicDuoUK honestly gobsmacked here. Forgot to add. It says if it needs to be extended past June 2025, they will do so. A waste of space and not fit for purpose. I’m so angry. I let the assessor get away with lying on my last review when I should have fought it, so I should have been on high rate all this time.
Hi firstly thank you very much for your down to earth approach and they everyday way we all can understand. Ive just sent my review which timing seemed odd as wasn't due till next year. I got a txt day after gov announcement oh well await the dreaded brown envelope. But please keep doing what your doing ignore the narrow mindedness of thoses who dont understand and make comments. I was once told for every minute your angry you l9se a moments happiness.
Hi, no problem at all. I'm glad we can help in some way or another for people. We wish you the best of success as well. Just think positive. I know it's hard saying that, but if you know you're entitled then you're entitled at the end of the day. Best of luck and wishes to you from us ❤️❤️
Mine too, I wasn't due for review until Sept this year, they sent me forms in January. This is so unfair, its all I am thinking about it makes me physically ill.
Why when I get letter from my go for an assessment to be at my home or via phone ,do they make me go still.I was in bed 3 days after I came back.. why tell me to get doc letter to just ignore it
We're stirring up the Scorpion's nest, my friends, and what do Scorpions do when they are vexed..? They attack with their paralysing venom🦂 They change The Rules 🙄 and we have to rigmarole again and again. It pisseth me off 🦨
Feel better soon Rich 🙏❤️🥺 i feel the same manage to get to end of road each day now back on bed till teatime then bed had eyes amd face muscle issues for over 2yrs debilitating takes half hr to do 5min walk on top of bumping into lamposts 🥺its best i stay in ,on top of other health issues and crap present and future waking up dont feel great but we do .... so we have to put up with it eh jist plod on ..and on ...🙄 love to Cara and fluffpups have best day poss 🙏❤️🐶🙌@@DynamicDuoUK
@@DynamicDuoUKRich I read rhis green paper dispicable ideas in an email the other day where it says its not likely to happen do you believe it WILL HAPPEN ? I reckon it will so even more depressing now 🥺
Like anything people's opinions can differ to others, I believe it's morally wrong as disabled people don't always have the money to pay for a service, I know the DWP aren't pleased about it but unfortunately can't discuss. It's her choice but we don't agree with it at all but that's just our opinion, other people may agree with her.
@DynamicDuoUK l am going to be controversial. It is people like her that the DWP are fed up.. I have anklosing spondylitis. My posture is stooped, and I have severe kyphosis. My neck has fused. I watched her video yesterday, and it reeked of please believe me, DWP.. She is turning up at tribunals , but she also claims she suffers from severe fatigue. I'm sorry, but I don't think she is being truthful. She is one of the reasons DWP is fed up. Can you imagine charging people 650 pounds. I don't like her .. She is giving genuine, sick people a bad name . I am your friend, now give me 650 pounds. Her videos make me cringe 😬
Wow, I didn’t realise she was charging £650. It does seem a lot, even if she claims that she’s only lost one case (if that’s the lady you’re talking about) I appreciate that a lot of time and effort goes into helping people complete those forms but don’t think it should cost more than, say, £250. I’ve watched a few of her uploads and find she tends to waffle too much for my liking, and her most recent video contradicts some of her previous ones. Maybe she’s worried about the DWP as they definitely won’t want potential claimants to know too much about how the system works. I’m not on PIP so don’t really know what it entails but I believe that the Benefits and Work forum have a step by step course people can do to learn about filling in the PIP form for about £35. It’s worth looking into for that price.
@@elleskye3521 there is also a lot of free online services to help and assist , I appreciate people wanting to charge more for filling it in on their behalf as it can be a long process and in depth but realistically it should be yourself in your words and if you need help filling it in due to a disability that's acceptable but nobody should purely rely on someone else only guides. Like you said all the information can be used that she provides and some people could use it fraudulently. We try and be a bit different as we've both been through it ourselves and know how hard and scary it can be. £650 should never be charged I think for anything like this its just greed. I've noticed she is deleting people's comments however she accepted the ones slagging us off, so therefore we give it back now, don't have time for people like that at all. I waffle myself sometimes sorry for that lol!
people have loans taken out millions and millions against this pip payment for things like extensions refitting homes health reasons and a lot have cars through direct loans this is insane to even think about changing these payments
The thing is if you get the enhanced rate of personal independence payments for the mobility section, you're entitled to lease a vehicle for the duration of your award so the people don't actually get that money in the first place. It goes to the charity but they are a profit organisation so they're making profits as well which unfortunately doesn't fit well in most people's eyes. So can you imagine this benefit being stopped? Not only would you destroy a company who leases vehicles on behalf of disabled people, but all the people's jobs will then go as well. It's truly Madness
just watched your video and i have watched a few re pip not long ago i put my wife as my carer then have the amount they now pay my wife deducted from the benefits we receive so in essence my wife cares for me for free what is exactly what she did before Appling for carers what was the point of me Appling in the first place
It's a backdated system they give from one hand and take from the other it truly astounds me that as a society we allow this to keep happening. Thank you for watching the video and being here I appreciate it 😁
I have double incontinence... My washing machine is in use every day. I can't use public transport. I need to park as close to shops as possible. My condition requires extra energy used therefore bills , dearer parking, use of own vehicle . If I get PIP I will have a chance to get a blue badge. The pip money will pay towards my needed personal vehicle , increased energy costs. There will be nothing going on personal spending .......
I really hope you get it, having my car and badge has honestly changed my life. I couldn't live without it and my pip is currently under review, I am so scared they are going to take everything away from me. Wishing you good luck with your pip journey.
The one off grants won't work if your private landlord doesn't want alterations done to there property as converting a property to a disabled property limit sale options
I can confirm this is accurate. We rent from a private landlord ourselves and he doesn't want to make any more alterations to the property at a cost to him because eventually he's going to want to sell and he wants to keep the resale value which is completely understandable as it's his property
I love this Channel my story is I worked up until I took very and it was one illness after another now I can't walk very far our I fall in the first I can't drive my car I'm in pain 24.7 also have Cronhs Arthritis Diabetes Angina and other things on top of that most days I can't go in my Electric Wheelchair and my strong Medication of Morphine
Hi I’m on lower rate pip for degenerative osteoarthritis. I had pneumonia one and a half years ago for 3 months and dislodged a stomach muscle which sticks out at the side and is very hard and causes me even more problems walking. Now phoning the pip they say if I apply for the higher pip and don’t get it I could loose all my pip is this true ?
Many thanks for your information. Where can I find the information about the Green Paper Award? I’m new to PIP and struggle with keeping up to date with ongoing issues.
www.gov.uk/government/news/disability-benefits-system-to-be-overhauled-as-consultation-launched-on-personal-independence-payment--2 Here you go, ill tag a link in the video now in a moment as well :-)
Thanks for posting the link. Within that document there is an option to give your views on the reforming of pip. It’s important as many people as possible give their views.
I am self employed and claiming universal credit. I am currently working on a business with a view to getting off benefits for life. However, I have recently encountered a problem. I need to get certain documents before I get paid. I need my passport and driving licence. I cannot get these unless I find a person who is willing and able to confirm my identity. According to the passport office my work coach can do this for me. But she will not do it. She won't even try to do it. She keeps telling me that I am wrong about her being in a position to help me. I've even pointed out that if she does not help me then I am stuck on benefits. She tells me that I will have to accept this. I want to get off universal credit but the staff at my local job center are trying very, very hard to keep me as a claimant.
my son is in the same boat as you your not the only one this happening to the dwp don't want you to better yourself at the end of the day they are civil servants who should be helping
cant a 'dr' or [if youre young] a teacher, a local church minister confirm your identity[?] unsure why youre putting all your eggs in one basket[case ;) ] asking a DWP gang member to 'confirm' your identity ...[??]
@@carolineowen7846 GP's asked to be removed from the list of appropriate people because they were being inundated with requests. They can sign if they know you as a friend but I don't have any doctors who are friends. No accountants either. It's looking like I will have to pay a local solicitor to do this. Apparently they do not need to know you personally for two years to sign, you just need to pay them. I think it's going to cost around £100.
Tell them your recording, if you can record using another phone or recording device please do it, give them notice by phone and also on the day tell the assessor your recording to stop fraud purposes, if they say fine then youve got a good one if they say no or try fob you off then you know you've caught them out and they would have lied etc. Also make sure to tell them how your condition affects you and good days bad days etc, remember its not about what you have its how it affects you if that makes sense? Good Luck and also remember to be you!
Dont let them put words in your mouth. If after describing how your day / health / etc is affected don't allow them to "rephrase" it, unless it really is what you said. There is a lot of help, but recording the interview is the best.
I can attest to that. When I had my assessment, it was one of the things my assessor was asking me. She wanted to know how it affects my day to day living , not the actual medical issue I have. So you do need to figure out what you're going to tell them how it affects your life day to day good days and bad.
How long does the assessment take to reach the dwp case manager if it has been audited by independent assessment? So far it's been 4 weeks for my partner? Thanks for the great video. It definitely helps put our minds at rest. ❤
Hi. I had my PIP removed in March last yea,r after I was totaly misrepresented on a telephone assessment. I'm still waiting for my PIP appeal to be heard in the courts. Last month I had a face to face ESA assessment The assessor found my mental health to be on the severe side , and yesterday I recieved a letter telling me that I have been placed in the support group of ESA. I'm still waiting for my PIP appeal, do you have any idea how long this will take?
Hi I am a bit unsure about my PIP a year ago I moved in with my daughter as had a broken hip that was not picked up on because of lockdown, I have mental illness as well, the thing is my money was cut as I lived with her now she moved out a year ago and I am not sure about telling them because of all the stuff that’s going on with it frightened they ill stop it
if its pip you wont have your claim stopped if someone moves out, only UC will see a change if you report it to them, if you add a change of condition be it worse or better then they can re-assess it when you tell them so could go up or down, hope this helps if unsure ask away anne :) xx
I responded to the consultation. Omg it was so long and a bit of a struggle. A lot of the questions were hard to understand, and i have a feeling they were repetitive, too. Maybe that's just me. I have autism and need things written clearly. Im sure some questions were not even singular and had two or three questions but only one set of tick boxes. It seemed like a form that had been rushed through with no real thought or research . I dont know how they will get a proper consultation from it.
I’m scared to death, my whole house has been adapted through grants to suit my declining health, without my cash payment I would not be able to pay the mortgage or have a wheelchair van so I can get out..! I have no life now if they take all this away I’m hanging myself, I cannot cope with anymore of this bull shit..! If parliament workers got minimum wage there would be enough to prop up the NHS and allow truly sick people to have a life. If I need disability equipment like I needed a zimma I buy it out my PIP or ask the O.T. My partner is about to retire so money is going to be super tight, now I’m worried sick 🤒 😢
Excellent. As always. But, so much for a 12 week consultation when these things are already being put into place? Do I trust them? NO. More privatization and theft from the tax laundry.
The consultation. I believe was 12 weeks after the date in July but I don't think that anything will come of it. I truly don't. They've seriously angered a lot of people and organisations in this country and now they are finding out the hard way they're not to be trusted. No organisation from the government is unfortunately and especially the media.
@@DynamicDuoUK My pip is due for renewal. And, just like last time I'm expecting the same lies and playdown of my fully diagnosed conditions and general ignoring of any medical evidence. I'm fully expecting to have to go to court again under the charge of being disabled. Last time I was guilty as charged and they still removed all my support. System by design.
Not yet matey but im on a go live tonight i can bring it up by all means as filling in a reassment form is a bit different but happy to explain it or do a video at some point ?

I think mps should have vouchers instead of being paid
Can you imagine their shock 🤯🤣😕
Ha ha very good idea watch them see what it’s like to struggle
@@racheldehaan2760 That's the thing, they've never struggled
Especially for their subsidused food bills.
@@kevinkenny6975 exactly I’ve got epilepsy anxiety and depression getting help is so hard you feel like giving up
What people don't see if they're not disabled, is you have to pay for everything. Things like having your toe nails cut which can cost up to £40. If you have pets. Dog walkers charge. Cleaners. Etc.
I'm sure anyone reading this who can relate to this, understands the sheer frustration. I would do anything to be in full health and not be dependent on a government.
When a pompous, rich and unrelatable tosser Prime minister tries to demean people on benefits, it makes my blood boil
Thanks both for putting my mind at rest the media and government are no better than the trolls that we dispisis and loath.
Hi thanks for putting this video up. It has helped calm my worries. I rely heavily on my PIP payment to help with daily living issues and find that the way it is currently paid suits my needs perfectly. It has allowed me to purchase the rise and recline chair I need and the Walker I use to get about. It allows me to purchase the personal items that my condition needs. If they changed it to vouchers it would be much less flexible. Truthfully without this money I would struggle to afford to live. Just recently it seems that disabled people and those suffering long term illnesses seem to be on the receiving end of a lot of flak and this is the last thing we need. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah... none of those options involving the government deciding what you can spend money on is acceptable. How very Dickensian. Truly, we live in the worst timeline if people think that's an acceptable proposal. If only all government ministers were required to live solely on standard rate UC and PIP, no expenses budget, no jobs outside of being a minister, and it being made outright illegal for them to change themselves over to anything other than standard rate UC and PIP without a 60% majority in public referendum, I think we'd see immediate change.
Another way to track claimants that are claiming pip what they spend also monitoring what they are purchasing just like the pensioners required a app for Iceland to receive a discount. All about control and making money for these private companies.
FEAR FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL
Don’t listen to it because fear is used to plant in your mind don’t allow it in.
People are allowed to survive that are unwell the benefit is there for people who aren’t able like others to participate in the world or consistently and reliably, safely, we still have a right as humans to live and they cannot treat us like that it’s inhumane leaving us to die.
Please don’t worry and do not allow fear in. Sending love to people who are porely and worrying, I didn’t sleep at all listening to it but I refuse to worry. I’m not well enough I need to concentrate on getting through my day without extra worry.
We still have to fight this we can't just hide our heads in the sand. I feel suicidal , if the Tories win this is their plan....food vouchers....we will live in abject poverty if this goes through and Labour's Racheal Reeves said they will be even tougher on benefits. I'm bed bound 90% of the time , I can't work no matter how big they make the stick.
Once it goes in to your bank it's no longer concerns of the DWP it should be none of there businesses anymore
exactly once money is relienquished it no longer is owned by that person and therefore should not be of their interest as to where it is spent, im pretty sure there is an old english law that states this..
Keep it up Rich this boils my blood feel like getting a job working inside for the dwp or a pip assessor and scoring everyone points for justice for two months and whistleblowing them and leave the employment.
I don't think they'd have me haha 😆
I’ve got myself in such a state over these changes so Thankyou ❤
its okay its understandable please dont worry if you need anything just reach out all the best xx
We as a nation need to stand up government told everyone to get the vaccine jab or your not allowed on holiday or return to work say no to vouchers enough is enough what next after vouchers CCTV outside each disabled claimant house curfew after 6pm if your disabled or unemployed tell them to get stuffed.
It costs me £120 for a taxi to take me to and from the hospital, for each appointment, because I live rurally and there are never any ambulance transport vehicles available. I doubt the taxi would be happy with a voucher.
Have you not asked for help at the hospital you go to?
@@gbhxu Once in a blue moon I get a lift home if the timing is right or if I've spent the night in a ward. I do consider PIP as being there for things like this. It's not for me to buy jewellery etc for myself. I also buy stock for my carers. They come in 4 x a day and I provide the various personnel cleaning etc products.
I think a good start for the dwp would be to actually listen to the medical professionals and not just go with policy’s that destroy disabled people also if the dwp was also honest and admit not everyone on benefits is conning the system because they always seem to miss out that 3 billion pounds a year goes unclaimed from people who deserve it but are afraid of the system and been called a big to a dog for asking for help
£36 BILLION spent on a useless test and track app. £12 million a day spent on you know what and rising every minute. Endless money for wars . Something is going to really give soon.
What the point having a system everyone getting pananoid seen a guy in the job centre having panic attacks being late 3 minutes for a appointment the system create fear.
Thank you so very much for doing this video. I have been so very stressed and worried about being misunderstood by the DWP. My partner has set up youtube and my online repeat prescription accounts, because i am very dyslexic and did not do well in a class room environment, when i was trying to learn the commuter, on previous government courses. I have sleep apnea, Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, clinical depression, some agoraphobia and other physical health problems. I would physically not last a day, if i was pushed into a job. I did work in the past and did all sorts of jobs to earn money. I cannot follow a bus timetable due to my dyslexia and have to be accompanied when taking a bus journey. I did fight a pip case back in 2019, where my mother attended with me and the adviser shouted at me and my mother was told to be quiet. Because i fought the case until the actual social security took the case on, in January, 2021, the case was done over the telephone. Due to being in part social distancing then. My worry is that i am going to have to go through the whole scenario again!
Its a breach of human rights again, how many times do they have to be told by professionals a person is disabled to keep attacking the same vulnerable people its clear they will keep attacking the vulnerable, you cant pay a carer in vouchers or a taxi and many other things needed
You make several good points about paying others for services, I hope you fill in the form about the green paper and mention these. People want to know they are going to be paid cash to pay their own bills so getting a voucher People will be refusing to help. Also People will trade the vouchers to get copied and then the voucher will be refused just like they tried to forge coins etc
The welfare system needs to be ONLY for the vulnerable people who need support and help, we need to be grateful we have PIP today but maybe not tomorrow the government is hell bent not trying to pay people how would vouchers work it WON'T people need PIP for extra support someone helps them with day to day tasks they cannot do themselves how would you pay a support worker a voucher, this is dangerous the tory party keep lying and scaring people to death this is not funny anymore they know nothing what some people go through day by day. for example just imagine being schizophrenic living day by day medicated up to the eye balls dopey and fatigued feel high on drugs cannot cook or clean, or do simple budgeting going out traveling cannot drive or work but being told no more PIP or universal credit sick payments it's a recipe for disaster
When a tory talks about getting help to those who need it most they mean those likely to die in large numbers before the election! Also, didn't they introduce PIP about 10 yrs ago and now they want to change PIP? So all those who had to go through the awful assessment process went through that for nothing? Thanks for a really helpful video, will be filling in the green paper later (I'll be suggesting they don't send alarming texts at ten past eight on a Bank holiday Monday! B*stards! You are spot on, INDEPENDENCE! All the best to you both.
They sent me a text on Monday stating that they still have my pip form and that I still might have to have a face to face meeting. All the face to faces do is bloody lie
Thank you for calming me down really appreciate it ❤😂x
Anytime 🤣😂
2.9 billion wasted on restart programme by the Tories, and so much money wasted on work programme and health work programme
You’re fine. Colds are colds. I’m sick of living in fear.
Our banks should treat the DWP as a third party interloper and open a fraud assessment on the DWP
Been off sick for a month. Wanted to go back 2 weeks ago, GP said no. I to,d her I did not want to be one of those people the government was talking about. She said I was in no way just wanting to get money and ignore the government.
The fact they've made you feel like that is disgusting.
My dr has accused many people of this so even drs think it. I've seen his reviews on Google...
I'm new here but i just wanted to say thank you for being a reassuring voice in this scary state of the country right now, its very much appreciated.
Totally welcome 🤗
Thanks sharing this info. Understandably so people are terrified by all this.
I wish people would kick off the way uc claimants kicked off when dwp wanted full access to thier bank.
That shut them the fuck up. I don't even claim anything myself. Im claiming nothing. But this scares me.
Mental health support is absolutely shit. I've had 1 appointment this year. I don't hold out much hope for more than 2 more
People do need to seriously kick off a lot more. You are completely right. The whole situation in this government at the moment is shocking
@@DynamicDuoUK I want to know why everyone's so docile atm?
Too busy watching corrie to give a fk about anything else. People who are comfortable are too afraid to become a little uncomfortable. In the next 5 years, it'll become unbearable and they'll wish they stepped out and done something.
I want to know what they're putting in our water , because this ain't natural. Our grandparents wouldn't put up with this, not even a tiny amount of what were getting. We went through the worst recession ever seen caused by the lockdowns ect and nobody is asking why.
How many thoughts of suicide has this topic brought on and if implemented may or prob will cause!?😢😢😮
I can confirm at least one. Me. I already suffer badly with mental health issues, and now that I'm signed off, the main cause of my continuing mental health issues is the government in general, the mass media, and the population at large's attitudes toward vulnerable minorities. I learned about fascism in history classes, I shouldn't have to live in it, we had a war about this, damn it.
Theres along way to go & the Tories will not be in power to make these changes.
Let's hope that the next elected government have some empathy and try to walk in the shoes of disabled people, so as to speak! I feel that we need a government that are more in touch with real reality and not their version of reality!
Them proposals don’t add up to be independent. Whole point was you obviously spend your money on what makes your day to day life easier.
I dont agree or disagree, and can only speak for myself. I had a hellish time when my light touch renewal was done. Met a judge at tribunal who discredited 9 specialists and my gp, called me a liar and made me physically sick. Lost at lower tribunal and refused request to take to upper tribunal. I put a new claim in and was awarded an enhanced rate for both components. My pip was stopped for a year, and i gained another ailment along the way, and i really dont think i could go through it again.
The green paper regarding PIP changes does not end until the end of July so there wont be any changes until at least then and it will be at least another month before we see an actual bill try to be passed as law. What we are getting is the living shit scared out of us for kicks and thats the sickest part of this. An article is the Guardian last week said they more than likely wont introduce ANY welfare reforms until next year and thats ideal for me with the election looming and this lot will be out on their ear. The proposals they put forward are farcical for the most part as what would you use vouchers for in the first place. Mel Stride does not know that people with long term sickness/disabilities have whatever property they live in modified because of their condition so his so called claim they are paid hundreds when all they need is a grab rail is an insult. They all need to piss off and we have people in who know what they hell they are doing
Love your comments everytime curlers! honestly you make my day lol :-) x
@@DynamicDuoUK The issue is that there will have been people who have already taken their lives over this. The misinformation is whats killing people and we see what the Tory aim is here and thats to have the public fight amongst themselves trying to have the sick and disabled bullied by others as being parasites
We are on very little money for a longer length of time, It's not that we can earn more by way of active work/overtime etc. The gov has wasted billions on bad investments/decisions and now is targeting the most vulnerable/ disabled in our society. PIP is not fit for purpose. why is it always a battle to get the correct points? the assessors manipulate the truth determined to award very few points, then we are forced to appeal in a magistrate court just to win our acknowledgement for PIP allowance. Like the post office scandal, it's a disgrace that causes unnecessary stress.
Absolutely spot on this comment !
100% correct
Great comment to the point❤️👍
Your the best channel to do with this alongsides A different bias for the disabled people and people in need
Mental health can be just as impactful as physical health
Agreed 👍!
People on benefits spend every penny they get just to live. Often having to go to food banks as the benefits as well as low pay is not enough to live on.
Life is hard enough for the sick and disabled they don’t need this added stress, as stress can make some conditions worse. Treating the sick and disabled like criminals is disgusting, vouchers are of new use to the disabled as many can’t leave the house and depend on online shopping. The sick and disabled that I know are too ill to abuse that money. All this proves is that this Government is out of touch with the struggles of the sick and disabled.They have zero empathy for the sick and disabled. this is wrong on so many levels.
They should stop career politicians by limiting their term to one and then they go to the back benches and spend time assisting other back benchers in the processes of high office. After a term of this, they may be rechosen for the front benches.
Stop all this immigration chaos and save Billions on Hotels, Emergency Services, Pocket Money, Phones/ Data, Food, Coaches, etc
Granting asylum only for these people to go straight on benefits.( factual )
Cut the Rwanda money, just turn the boats around and return them..
Look after the real UK citizens first.!!🙄🇬🇧
Took the words right out of my mouth.
A receipt system will just add a layer of administration costs into the system it's the economics of the madhouse
Agreed !
My council already vet what you spend pip on. As take all your care pip and half ESA. My idea of what’s an essential aid and theirs is very different. I need pay for internet and a landline for a text phone. Neither of which they consider to be a disability expense. Though without it I would have to be given a lot more care hours to do basic banking, shopping and life admin! Any aid which improves quality of life is not counted etc
They don't listen to consultations, unless you are a massive corporation or business. I filled one out before and they still went ahead remember the saying Governments say "they voted me in and i'm doing what is good for my constituency without asking them 😅
Well said & thank you for sharing .
The government should overall & reform it's financial priorities , Richie Sunak said that the PIP system is unsustainable & yet Lord David Cameron just promised 3 billion in arms & support to Ukraine & will continue to do so for as long as it takes , it's shocking to say the least .
If the benefit system reduces any further it's likely that there will be further widespread civil unrest in the UK on a scale never seen before subsequently costing the UK government far more then the initial benefit system , the government should think very carefully & prioritize those who are vulnerable with health conditions & others who are out of work or indeed in work poor with families that are struggling .
There are already medical professionals such as GP's & practitioners in place to provide medical evidence for the claimant , so the fraud factor with the DWP I would imagine is minimal in comparison to the larger figure that are claiming PIP .
The government are vey good at hiding behind words , if the benefit system in general is reduced or stopped it will open up a hornets nest with millions that will have nothing to lose & would spell a national disaster on an unimaginable scale .
Well said Julian about Ukraine this country has always been there for other countries in need and don't give a dam about the British people how are we supposed to survive and eat this is just a lot of b*lush*t the government are treating disabled people like scroungers and beggars and saying it's your own fault you are disabled I am disabled I did not choose to be disabled and nor does everyone who is disabled the rules for these benefits was set by the government and DWP and know that are blaming disabled people for claiming benefits thay were told that could claim for and know that want to take them away it's so very hard being disabled and we are always looked down on and the government saying the benefits are compensation for being disabled it just goes to show the government don't give a monkeys for disabled people and how hard it is and is totally unbelievable
companies taking money on these stupid work, restart and health programmes
That don't help anybody at all. Honestly the DWP I hate pretending to be friends whenever I have to speak to them because I know how much they're trying to shaft me over along with everyone else in the country can't stand it they boil my piss seriously lol
this about the tory saying what they would like to do if they get elected again but this seem very unlikely at the moment
Thank you so much for this information 👍
My pleasure
Vouchers were used in the United States back in the 1970s for what they called welfare claimants. It was an attempt to shame into not claiming as you seen at supermarket checkouts with vouchers and the stigma at the time of obviously being a claimant would affect your relationship with people around you. Supposedly so you would be less likely to claim etc.
However it didn’t work as people just sold off the vouchers to dealers at half face value etc
Whether or not these proposed ones have some kind of bar code I don’t know but I guess it will become a failure.
The other side that it encourages crime …. Personally I know of at least two young gentlemen that after having a bad experience with work and the job centre’s sanctions system and the lack actual stable and reasonable paying jobs or training decided to go self employed and became very very successful, one of at the age of twenty four drives a Bentley and has a number of properties… let’s just say he became a pharmaceutical distributor and generator of exotic concoctions. The other gentleman is involved in the armament and weapons trade. Again apparently he doing even better.
They both are very thankful and grateful of the DWPs help in developing their successful careers.
Thank you for this, I've been so stressed ive lost sleep over this has triggered my seizures, ive always had uncontrollable epilepsy but stress makes it worse, i am awaiting for them to contact me as i have sent back my review form, its taking some time though i send it in November, they have txt me saying it will be looked at as soon as possible, hearing all the news and watching a certain RUclips channel yesterday got me so worried, as i use aids and now this person is saying aids shouldn't count
Excellent video wonder who got private shares with issuing vouchers must be another dodgy tory.
100% its all government approved shops etc they want to use so of course it's to make them more money, just leave people on benefits alone let them spend what they want to spend and how they want to spend i say, 85% put back into the economy more than someone who has more money.
@@DynamicDuoUK I've got Crohns Disease, my needs can change on a weekly basis, some weeks I'm left with no money because my needs can be that great some of the time. I can't give a strict amount that would ever idealy suite my needs because its always forever changing. I've been in for a resection, organs seperating, kidney stones removed and they still didn't 'believe' me. Still can't believe that some people can get PIP without NHS evidence, when I literally had to jump through several flaming hoops.. and because I was able to navigate these flaming hoops.. "computer says no" apparently.
appauling.
i sit firmly in the "mental health" catagory with mild physical impairment. so a lot of the "reforms" would be no help to me as there is no mental health help or provision in my area. i was born autistic and have A.D.D with a genetic full body tremour. i have tried seeking mental health help and support. i don't manage well in group settings with people i don't know. PIP & the DWP know this.
as things currently are i am managing well, my wife who cares for me does most daily things and i do self-therapy (music therapy). the majority of MP's and the british public see me as a scrounger because of this.

What is your opinion on the lady who is charging people to fill out their pip claims, etc ..She charges 650 pounds
Like anything people's opinions can differ to others, I believe it's morally wrong as disabled people don't always have the money to pay for a service, I know the DWP aren't pleased about it but unfortunately can't discuss. It's her choice but we don't agree with it at all but that's just our opinion, other people may agree with her.
@DynamicDuoUK l am going to be controversial. It is people like her that the DWP are fed up.. I have anklosing spondylitis. My posture is stooped, and I have severe kyphosis. My neck has fused. I watched her video yesterday, and it reeked of please believe me, DWP.. She is turning up at tribunals , but she also claims she suffers from severe fatigue. I'm sorry, but I don't think she is being truthful. She is one of the reasons DWP is fed up. Can you imagine charging people 650 pounds. I don't like her .. She is giving genuine, sick people a bad name . I am your friend, now give me 650 pounds. Her videos make me cringe 😬
Wow, I didn’t realise she was charging £650. It does seem a lot, even if she claims that she’s only lost one case (if that’s the lady you’re talking about) I appreciate that a lot of time and effort goes into helping people complete those forms but don’t think it should cost more than, say, £250.
I’ve watched a few of her uploads and find she tends to waffle too much for my liking, and her most recent video contradicts some of her previous ones. Maybe she’s worried about the DWP as they definitely won’t want potential claimants to know too much about how the system works.
I’m not on PIP so don’t really know what it entails but I believe that the Benefits and Work forum have a step by step course people can do to learn about filling in the PIP form for about £35. It’s worth looking into for that price.
@@elleskye3521 there is also a lot of free online services to help and assist , I appreciate people wanting to charge more for filling it in on their behalf as it can be a long process and in depth but realistically it should be yourself in your words and if you need help filling it in due to a disability that's acceptable but nobody should purely rely on someone else only guides.
Like you said all the information can be used that she provides and some people could use it fraudulently.
We try and be a bit different as we've both been through it ourselves and know how hard and scary it can be.
£650 should never be charged I think for anything like this its just greed.
I've noticed she is deleting people's comments however she accepted the ones slagging us off, so therefore we give it back now, don't have time for people like that at all.
I waffle myself sometimes sorry for that lol!
@@DynamicDuoUK lol. ..My comments were removed. I get it ..l will calm down. Sorry 😀.

Could someone comment on the discriptor change
Planning a journey. & the ruling on this change
people have loans taken out millions and millions against this pip payment for things like extensions refitting homes health reasons and a lot have cars through direct loans this is insane to even think about changing these payments
The thing is if you get the enhanced rate of personal independence payments for the mobility section, you're entitled to lease a vehicle for the duration of your award so the people don't actually get that money in the first place. It goes to the charity but they are a profit organisation so they're making profits as well which unfortunately doesn't fit well in most people's eyes. So can you imagine this benefit being stopped? Not only would you destroy a company who leases vehicles on behalf of disabled people, but all the people's jobs will then go as well. It's truly Madness
just watched your video and i have watched a few re pip not long ago i put my wife as my carer then have the amount they now pay my wife deducted from the benefits we receive so in essence my wife cares for me for free what is exactly what she did before Appling for carers what was the point of me Appling in the first place
It's a backdated system they give from one hand and take from the other it truly astounds me that as a society we allow this to keep happening.
Thank you for watching the video and being here I appreciate it 😁
@@DynamicDuoUK i have subscribed thank you for your reply
well said at last someone with sense
Thank You!
I have double incontinence... My washing machine is in use every day. I can't use public transport. I need to park as close to shops as possible. My condition requires extra energy used therefore bills , dearer parking, use of own vehicle . If I get PIP I will have a chance to get a blue badge. The pip money will pay towards my needed personal vehicle , increased energy costs. There will be nothing going on personal spending .......
Thanks for sharing! ☺️ Hope you get the award and can be used for items you need ❤️❤️
I really hope you get it, having my car and badge has honestly changed my life. I couldn't live without it and my pip is currently under review, I am so scared they are going to take everything away from me. Wishing you good luck with your pip journey.
the green paper, who decides who is entitled to help
The one off grants won't work if your private landlord doesn't want alterations done to there property as converting a property to a disabled property limit sale options
I can confirm this is accurate. We rent from a private landlord ourselves and he doesn't want to make any more alterations to the property at a cost to him because eventually he's going to want to sell and he wants to keep the resale value which is completely understandable as it's his property
I love this Channel my story is I worked up until I took very and it was one illness after another now I can't walk very far our I fall in the first I can't drive my car I'm in pain 24.7 also have Cronhs Arthritis Diabetes Angina and other things on top of that most days I can't go in my Electric Wheelchair and my strong Medication of Morphine

Hi I’m on lower rate pip for degenerative osteoarthritis. I had pneumonia one and a half years ago for 3 months and dislodged a stomach muscle which sticks out at the side and is very hard and causes me even more problems walking. Now phoning the pip they say if I apply for the higher pip and don’t get it I could loose all my pip is this true ?
Many thanks for your information. Where can I find the information about the Green Paper Award? I’m new to PIP and struggle with keeping up to date with ongoing issues.
www.gov.uk/government/news/disability-benefits-system-to-be-overhauled-as-consultation-launched-on-personal-independence-payment--2 Here you go, ill tag a link in the video now in a moment as well :-)
Thanks for posting the link. Within that document there is an option to give your
views on the reforming of pip. It’s important as many people as possible give their views.
Good to see you pal
Will see you later tonight mate on our go live ? Going to sort it when I get the new microphone! Haha
@@DynamicDuoUK Awesome buddy - look forward to it
Outstanding
I am self employed and claiming universal credit. I am currently working on a business with a view to getting off benefits for life. However, I have recently encountered a problem. I need to get certain documents before I get paid. I need my passport and driving licence. I cannot get these unless I find a person who is willing and able to confirm my identity. According to the passport office my work coach can do this for me. But she will not do it. She won't even try to do it. She keeps telling me that I am wrong about her being in a position to help me. I've even pointed out that if she does not help me then I am stuck on benefits. She tells me that I will have to accept this. I want to get off universal credit but the staff at my local job center are trying very, very hard to keep me as a claimant.
my son is in the same boat as you your not the only one this happening to the dwp don't want you to better yourself at the end of the day they are civil servants who should be helping
cant a 'dr' or [if youre young] a teacher, a local church minister confirm your identity[?] unsure why youre putting all your eggs in one basket[case ;) ] asking a DWP gang member to 'confirm' your identity ...[??]
Ask your GP? Or your accoutant?
@@carolineowen7846 GP's asked to be removed from the list of appropriate people because they were being inundated with requests. They can sign if they know you as a friend but I don't have any doctors who are friends. No accountants either. It's looking like I will have to pay a local solicitor to do this. Apparently they do not need to know you personally for two years to sign, you just need to pay them. I think it's going to cost around £100.
Discussion into a voucher system would likely create an alternative currency system when it comes to PIP.
It’s still same amount ,it’s about controlling people.has if disabled are not controlled enough with illness3.
I have a phone pip assessment on the 22nd, I don't know why or what to expect. Any advice???
So have I they want to know how ur disability affects ur everyday life have someone with you
Tell them your recording, if you can record using another phone or recording device please do it, give them notice by phone and also on the day tell the assessor your recording to stop fraud purposes, if they say fine then youve got a good one if they say no or try fob you off then you know you've caught them out and they would have lied etc.
Also make sure to tell them how your condition affects you and good days bad days etc, remember its not about what you have its how it affects you if that makes sense?
Good Luck and also remember to be you!
Dont let them put words in your mouth. If after describing how your day / health / etc is affected don't allow them to "rephrase" it, unless it really is what you said. There is a lot of help, but recording the interview is the best.
I can attest to that. When I had my assessment, it was one of the things my assessor was asking me. She wanted to know how it affects my day to day living , not the actual medical issue I have. So you do need to figure out what you're going to tell them how it affects your life day to day good days and bad.
How long does the assessment take to reach the dwp case manager if it has been audited by independent assessment? So far it's been 4 weeks for my partner?
Thanks for the great video. It definitely helps put our minds at rest. ❤
Hi. I had my PIP removed in March last yea,r after I was totaly misrepresented on a telephone assessment. I'm still waiting for my PIP appeal to be heard in the courts. Last month I had a face to face ESA assessment The assessor found my mental health to be on the severe side , and yesterday I recieved a letter telling me that I have been placed in the support group of ESA. I'm still waiting for my PIP appeal, do you have any idea how long this will take?
I’ve hear the average for pip has been 15 weeks, I’m on about week 10.
I filled out the green paper
Thank you! X
I can’t find this green paper. Please include a link in the description. Much appreciated.
ive pinned it at the top of the video now :-)
@@DynamicDuoUK Many thanks.
ive got serious disabled problems does this mean even in July my money stays the same 😢please 🙏 tell me it will
Hi I am a bit unsure about my PIP a year ago I moved in with my daughter as had a broken hip that was not picked up on because of lockdown, I have mental illness as well, the thing is my money was cut as I lived with her now she moved out a year ago and I am not sure about telling them because of all the stuff that’s going on with it frightened they ill stop it
if its pip you wont have your claim stopped if someone moves out, only UC will see a change if you report it to them, if you add a change of condition be it worse or better then they can re-assess it when you tell them so could go up or down, hope this helps if unsure ask away anne :) xx
@@DynamicDuoUKthanks Rich
I responded to the consultation. Omg it was so long and a bit of a struggle. A lot of the questions were hard to understand, and i have a feeling they were repetitive, too. Maybe that's just me. I have autism and need things written clearly. Im sure some questions were not even singular and had two or three questions but only one set of tick boxes. It seemed like a form that had been rushed through with no real thought or research . I dont know how they will get a proper consultation from it.
I’m scared to death, my whole house has been adapted through grants to suit my declining health, without my cash payment I would not be able to pay the mortgage or have a wheelchair van so I can get out..! I have no life now if they take all this away I’m hanging myself, I cannot cope with anymore of this bull shit..! If parliament workers got minimum wage there would be enough to prop up the NHS and allow truly sick people to have a life. If I need disability equipment like I needed a zimma I buy it out my PIP or ask the O.T. My partner is about to retire so money is going to be super tight, now I’m worried sick 🤒 😢
Excellent. As always.
But, so much for a 12 week consultation when these things are already being put into place?
Do I trust them? NO. More privatization and theft from the tax laundry.
The consultation. I believe was 12 weeks after the date in July but I don't think that anything will come of it. I truly don't. They've seriously angered a lot of people and organisations in this country and now they are finding out the hard way they're not to be trusted. No organisation from the government is unfortunately and especially the media.
@@DynamicDuoUK My pip is due for renewal. And, just like last time I'm expecting the same lies and playdown of my fully diagnosed conditions and general ignoring of any medical evidence. I'm fully expecting to have to go to court again under the charge of being disabled. Last time I was guilty as charged and they still removed all my support. System by design.
Maté questions I got a letter to do assessment after 3yrs wat is the best wat to fill it in and do u have a vid on it
Not yet matey but im on a go live tonight i can bring it up by all means as filling in a reassment form is a bit different but happy to explain it or do a video at some point ?
