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).

Hi Charlie, this actually made me cry because I’ve been so unwell. I couldn’t face carrying on in order to claim PIP which I’ve been entitled to for 15 years and not being able to face the stress of doing the application but watching your videos has given me the courage and the help to do them. Thank you so so much.
Me too.
They have been making people I know wait a year for a decision. So hurry up and get your claim in
one thing i am considering (as its overwhelming, is using charlies vids to do the groundwork) and then using a legal specialist if i need to, or for a mandadatory consideration if my own attempt fails, - i know that costs, but better than having nothing at all. - its an option anyway.
@@nicholasowens2351 that’s okay if you have some money put aside I literally don’t have a penny we use all our savings on me having time off as so unwell. I don’t get any money at.all and it’s so wrong that disabled people have to go through this and try and find the money to fight something they are entitled to in the first place
I know that’s how trijet make out but makes me so angry that we put through all the stress on top trying to cope with disabilities and work etc
You should be getting a pride of britain award for how much you help people. Honestly it made the process for me so much more empowering, thank you for all your help!
I love your meandering, it’s so real.
That’s a lot of helpful information Charlie, thank you xx
Yes it was good the way you did it with holding the book up. Thank you
Thanks charlie 🙏 for your knowledge and support many thanks
Thanks for all the advice, its so needed, you and no one else are making us feel slightly better regardless if we win our claims or not, just having someone who understands is very helpful indeed.
Hope this message greets you well xx
I love the advice on bulletin points
This was great video ! Loved the holding the book I’m pip part ! When you said no ! I nearly had heart attack ! It made me chuckle though ! And point taken . Thank you for your videos and all the time you put in for all of us 😊
Charlie you are amazing ❤
Thanks Charlie.
Hi Charlie...Using the HP Diary worked well 👍 Thankyou. xXx
Thank you for good informative advice, what a help ❤
Hi Charlie. Thk u so much for this amazing video. My PIP is under review due to my request. Due to massive changes in my daily life. U are incredible. The book helped Massively. Plz plz keep up the amazing work. Hope ur not suffering too much today. Much Love huni xx
yes the bullet points are good, as it covers what you want to get across (nothing worse than when its over, and saying,, i should have mentioned this, this and this....- but i see why you cant be too rehersed., good vid.
Good video Charlie but too late for me now but I can keep them for the future xx
Hi Charlie just signed up to the newsletter today is Monday at 11am I was supposed to to have a telephone assessment They rang me at 11-15 to inform me the appointment is cancelled no reason and now rescheduled for another day !!
The book really helped ☺️
Thank you Charlie for your homme tutoring. What should I wear for a face to face assessment? I dress nicely and always have make up on and my hair well groomed. I have been told not to wear jewellery and wear trackies.
CHARLIE,GREAT VIDEOS. I wondered what your thoughts were.my daughter had a PIP assessment yesterday and they told her that if she wanted to record it she woould have to have the assessment on another day and she could loose money in between so she didnt record it.
I’m having to watch this over and over as I’m confused what you on about
Thank you Charlie, have pip meeting tomorrow? Have finally tryed to claim, been struggling for 20 years. Never claimed anything .
Hi Charlie i have Obstructive sleep apnea and severe Asthma.Do you think I should claim for a pip ??? Thank you
Your wonderful x
Hi Charlie, how are you doing? Really appreciate how much you are helping people . I was concerned for you as last few vids , I feel you are looking very pale, so please much as your desire to help , take lots TLC 💐
Brilliant
Charlie,
English is not my first language. I did everything on my on and won only basic mobility when I need help for everything really. 😢 I conclude now after watching some of your videos that I didn't understand the questions😢😢. I had a text message today telling me my 1st review has started, waiting form on the post. I really need your help please.
Hi Charlie I’ve been wanting to ask a question for some time now, you may of covered it in another video, I’ve been entitled to pip for many many years but I’m terrified of the whole process, I am currently a carer for my partner/ex partner, she has just moved out a few days back, she is still going to need my care, my question to you is can I claim my own pip although I am a carer for my partner/ ex partner, your advice is excellent, you are helping so many, thank you 😊
I have eye conditions and I'm on the Visually Impaired Registar and my conditions effect everything I do and yet according P.I.P I don't qualify for it as they don't award it for just having bad eyesight as if all I have to do is wear some specs and everything will be fine.
Funny because I still have to use a white cane and wear special anti glare glasses when I'm out because I'm photo sensitive to sunlight.
you could record yourself one day as PIP and then wait like a week so you dont fully remember what the questions exactly are, then in the next week react to your own questions this time as a claimee
Hello Charlie well you are a blessing from God I have finally got my indefinite leave to remain visa and yes I have IBM and specialist have told me no cure or anything only trying to make a comfortable life until death its progressive aggressive condition so I have just applied for benefits and PIP but I am scared and worried that the time is not on my side but specialist can't give me a 12 month living expectancy so I need help thanks Darren
I need some help on this because I. Have a pacemaker for a heart condition but my condition doesn’t stop me from doing certain things my heart could randomly just stop I use to have seizure but medicated for it which stops that I have no idea what to say on the interview thingy xxx
If I order the food all the time?it's good or bad?
Thank you for your videos. I’ve got an appointment on Wednesday by phone. I am nervous about it your videos help me thanks…. I had a working injury where I lost the side of one of my eyes since then diabetes has got bad wear. My legs are cold and my nerves in my feet are gone also suffer from depression. They put me on Metformin and and loads of more tablet when you’re on these appointments it’s so bad you feel like shit
Ps hope you’re doing good. Take care for now
I think metformin depletes vitamin b12. It’s worth doing a search online for information about the meds you’re taking and the nutrient deficiencies that they cause.
Hi there i am really worried, i suffer from severe COPD also depression i recieved my pack to renew my pip claim back in Dec but at the time i was deep in my depression and mentally couldnt cope with filling out all the details about how my condition has got worse (which it has) so i just signed the back and said my condition is just the same as i dont have any support so now im afraid i will be cut off...have you any advice also can they do phone assessments instead of face to face ....any help would be appreciated...thanks
I cant use an oven as i cant bend down safely due to back and hip arthritis and i cant use the hob but i use the nicrowave and airfryer. Does the airfryer use lose me points? I want to be honest with them. Ive adapted my kitchen to be waist height pretty much now to avoid bending down
When they deny people points and twist what you tell them are they being honest. The less you tell them the better they won't give you a prize for being the most honest claimant less is more with pip
Hi Charlie, quick question. How can I update my pip. Eg update the aids I use and symptoms changing? Do I just phone them or write a letter? My next review isn't until July 2026. Loving the vlogs. Xx
Sorry for butting in i personally wouldnt update them at all, wait until your next review form comes then tell them
Great vid as always. I couldn't find the link to download the notes, plus the calendly link is saying 404 Page Not Found, I hope it's not been removed.
Richard, thank you again.....I saw this comment and checked and on ALL of my descriptions the link was not working! I have corrected it now. Thank you so much for explaining this!
I am struggle to upload the notes, I am working on this now!
Do they ask about work/employment during the assessment
They ask about meds and conditions because people dont put everything on the form and it changes. When they ask who diagnosed you, they don't mean the name of the doctor, its if its GP, specialist, neurology, psychiatry etc
Hi can you help me make a claim please? I'm sorry to ask, I'm struggling and really need this. Thankyou
Hi Charlie when you get re assessed do you just say your conditions stay the same for you PIP claim to be on going without them having to check your medical records ?
Tell them I still have difficulty doing a b and c etc.... My conditions are still the same and have not improved
I'd just like to say thank you for your on line help it really was helpful. I had my assessment this morning ended up I tears when told by lady that my condition was not listed as painful.
I said I beg to differ I'm always i pain worse of my life
So Charlie my assessment didn't go to will but your advise made me strong enough to get though it. Thank you x
Hi charlie. Can i pay you to help fill out my pip form? Im struggling with it
I have Reynauds very badly. It’s very difficult to live with.
Hi there I was awarded enhanced daily living but got ten points on mobility for my ptsd and severe mental health is it worth a mandatory review to go for the extra 2 points thanks ❤
Definitely.
I know of one assessment where it took four hours and they continued even when the applicant said they were bleeding
Hi how can I contact you?
My telephone assessment lasted a hour xx
Kim did you record it?
25 year old here with chronic kidney disease.
For first time since my kidneys failed at 17 ADP have put my mobility award down.
Having to do a mandatory reconsideration form and it’s the planning a journey part they gave me 0 points for
Have you covered this section in past or know of anywhere I can get help to do this
Very stressed and overwhelmed about it
Also I would literally pay for you to help me with this I’ve tried to get someone and have had no luck 😢
If you need help getting to your dialysis appointments because of tiredness or you get confused due to meds put that down on your mandatory reconsideration. Are you scared to travel alone? If so why? Do you feel dizzy etc, do you feel like you might faint and need accompanied. I'm surprised you didnt get 12 points on the mobility getting around section. Could you contact kidney care uk and get a supporting letter? Dont give up you are entitled to help.
@@user-zb9uj5th9g I’ve been awarded 12 points for getting around for years then they put it to 8 with 4 on the other section and now 8 with 0 on the other
I never thought of that but I’ve had help from kidney care so I may do that, thank you!
My daughter has an autistic child she was refused mobility they need a car for his hospital visits .days out etc he has numerous problems she dare not apply again Incase they take the daily living allowance it's insane that they have refused her .
Dla is different to pip
@@usernotfound4097 sorry I should have said living component of pip not dla.
My son never got high mobility on dla but he gets it on pip now he's an adult. It's a different system
❤
Sorry i am feeling anxiety just watching for help its to vague but 💯 more help than age concern...
👍👍👍👍👍👍
They started asking me anything but the questions they start with tell me about a typical day
I photocopy my form so I can go back to it
Anyone else massively stressed that we never got to see the FULL list of headings. I feel even worse now, after watching the whole thing.
Have fibro, can't walk far, use aids in the kitchen, for washing, in pain a lot of the time, at least 6 panic attacks a day, can go through four t-shirts a day, can not eat for two weeks, and speak to nobody, have balance issues, brain fog from constant ear infections due to an operation. Joint issues, not good tolerance for pain meds, don't do cooking, only help a bit, really not in a good way. Got zero points. Mandatory reconsideration, zero points. These people just do not listen to you, and simply do not care about you. They do not care what you go through, they just don't.
It's shocking how difficult it is to apply for pip or universal credit.
I look after my father who is too proud to say he needs pip. So he isn't getting it.
It's disgusting how the whole system is set up. It's all though they're trying to catch you out.
The MPs don't care.
