Of course being poor is horrible. We are always poor whether we are experiencing In Work poverty or on a starvation diet when sick or disabled. The reason we are poor is constantly put down to our alleged laziness or financial 'stupidity' but the reality is that we are being systematically exploited (robbed). The people we are allowed to vote for hate and despise us. To them we are stupid fools they can con to get them a seat on the gravy train. None of them are our friends, they are not our mates. The state is not neutral, and there is no fairness or justice unless you are rich. If this is news to you then study socialism and start fighting back in the class war. And if you don't realise you are at war then you are collateral damage unless you wake up. No disrespect here, only love ❤
Yes! Targeting the gas & electricity companies' obscene profits wouldn't be a bad idea either. They never go after businesses as hard as they target benefit system. I'm sure it has nothing to do with party doners 👀
@@sofiaO24 Yes and when Thatcher's Tory government was in power, that water meter stuff she tried bringing in, I'll bet that was never levied against businesses that used tons of gallons of water daily or weekly, or they got a great tax break again due to that! And government hand out, whilst it metered and taxed the disabled heavily.
My mum recently had her reassessment over the phone, and I made 2 pages of bullet points from your advice so she was ready for pretty much any question they asked her. Thankfully the person reviewing her was a medical student & understood her needs & she found out that she was successful in getting her PIP this week. Thank you so so much.

My last award was 2017 for 10 years has lots of evidence then but now see no one, no treatment, no on going support. Nothing to be done. Care package ditched as went from £140 a month to £600. Struggling can’t prove it. Yippee!
These forms have been around for a while as I had one of the new ones end of January this year. I'm thinking the OT report might be important as when I had to fill my PIP reassessment form in I was due to move to new premises alone with no carer so as I was struggling with carer away for a couple of weeks, I knew I'd struggle more alone but said I'd ask for OT assessment when I was in new property (can't ask until in the premises apparently). 2 months after the form went in they said still deciding but haven't cut my money and the only thing they don't have from what I said on form is OT assessment. When that came in almost a month after I had had assessment and with more info than they normally write as I said I needed it for PIP, I sent it in with covering letter detailing how I'm struggling alone, mental health issues from DWP system meaning I'm having to use PIP for essentials so can't get a cleaner, worried about money etc. Crossing fingers they increase my daily living to enhanced from standard as I am having to do everything myself, which is a nightmare for me. I can understand they don't want regular hospital appointment letters but if you are declaring a new condition and are waiting to see specialist for it, surely an appointment letter confirms when you are having that appointment so they know a) you aren't just making it up and b) why no meds/treatment plan etc for it as not seen specialist yet but due to? Also wonder if it's in response to us complaining the forms are so long that they shortened them but made it so we can't give the right amount of info so they can fail us? When we were having palpitations and mental health crises at the DWP brown envelope, they listened...and now use a white envelope because obviously it's the colour that's the problem, not the fact that we are terrified on opening it that we've lost our lifeline or have to be reassessed imminently with all the pain, fatigue and mental health issues that involves!
i had a full spine mri, when i had to fill in the next form it stated that they only wanted test results etc from only the 3 months prior to the date of the form being filled in, so this full spine mri was not taken into account. as for aids, i gave a walking stick and grab rails in the shower, i also had a walk in shower put in as i couldnt climb into or out of a bath. i was told that the walking stick (i was told i needed 2 when diagnosed) i have and the grab rails are NOT considered aids i need because they were not PRESCRIBED by a gp and it was my choice to change the bath to a shower and that didnt count either. i was told to get the walking sticks by a physio my gp sent me too the letter they sent me stated that 'on the basis of probability' i was a liar
they do this with a lot of people, they base your responses that your a liar and not to be trusted, even if you send multitude of evidence, its so frustrating because you don't know half the time if its the DWP doing this or their third party assessors.
I'm just wondering if the Labour Party are going to be any different to the outgoing Tory administration with regards to PIP reforms. I've just watched an item on the news about Labour's plans to tackle unemployment. They want to get people back into work as soon as possible, and most especially all those folks suffering from anxiety & depression. That sounds suspiciously like they're going to target PIP claimants to me without stating it directly. What do you guys think?
I had to take pip to court to claim for full pip due to being declined even though I provided 5 years of medical evidence in regards to me having primary progressive multiple sclerosis classes as a critical illness. The judge toke about 2 minutes to decide I should be claiming it. All that stress they put you through all because the assessor obviously had no medical experience :(. Thank God for the c.a.b bless them.
I had done the same after being rejected for nearly a decade (new application each year) till I had enough and fought back and won. I can still recall the Judge asking Dr how long I'd expect to be living for ans Dr said I'd be fortunate/ unfortunate to see into my 50s (late 40s).
I'm sad to hear your unwell. And I'm not surprised you had to struggle to get the help you deserved.we shouldn't have to fight for help when all they have to do is get the proof from our Drs!! It's got to change or it'll start to look like they are deliberately fecking us over !! Surely not hay !! Lol
They did all this for the WCA process. There is no point sending them the copies of appointment letters or descriptions of the condition you've been diagnosed with - they will go on what you say and can check if need be. Every assessment is based on how your condition affects you day to day. People with the conditions I have can be affected severely or not necessarily as much. Plus it is easy for anyone faking to make themselves appear terrible in front of any medical practitioner and the problem is that they tend to assume you are making things sound worse. This is the problem - not that they don't want to accept the paperwork. Charlie Anderson has some great step by step videos on how to navigate the PIP form, practice for your assessment, and how to get the points whilst being honest - and to be aware of how you can be tricked.
Write to pip saying no to any changes ie cash to vouchers as it will bankrupt local community businesses forcing shopping to large supermarkets where the profits go out of the UK
They go to extreme lengths to trip you up, they checked my gp records and asked me about health probs i had as a toddler that were very minor and had nothing to do with my claim. Another eg, i used a phrase the gp had used but because he hadn't written that particular phrase down litterally (he wrote it down in medical terminology) 'they' made a 'highlight' of it, what the so called practice nurse(assessor) didn't realise was that one problem (verbally used phrase) caused the other problem (written down med terminology). If you've got a headache from reading my comment, that's understandable.😊
I was asked by an PIPs assessor if I've ever been diagnosed with an "eating disorder" when I told her I only eat a main meal once a day. My claim was nothing to do with that at all. It was for how fibromyalgia affects me. I can't cook like I used to and eat microwave meals unless my daughter is home and will cook for me.
It is illegal to amend ANY benefits as it's the UK people's business say no to vouchers if you don't want to bankrupt your OWN local community businesses
I wouldn't want them to contact my GP now due to the problems of even getting an appointment within 4 weeks and with a different Dr every time. Years ago your GP knew their patients very well but is that the case now? not where I live! Do GPs have the time to go through reams of notes? and would the information they give be complete? A inaccurate report can loose you your benefit. I remember 20 years ago our GP wrote that my 7 year old autistic son was having speech and language therapy so will get better. We lost his DLA and I ended up having to go to tribunal which of course was laughed out of court as autism is a lifelong developmental disorder.
I was told by dwp could put same as the last time. So i did but I did expand on it in places. And had to add a new disability which wasn’t really new it was autism but I was diagnosed it days after I was awarded pip last time.
That was sent early Feb they sent me a text stating they had received my pip form. Then they sent another saying they still have my inform but that I might have to do a face to face. My care support worker said she would try to go with me when they give the date.
Ask for your assessment to be over the phone and you can get it recorded. You can add your care worker to the call as well. Don’t do it in person as they make it impossible to get in person, even if your entitled to it.
They actually wrote to mine on my last one. I was rather shocked because they never had before. They've also said they don't want things from before, but I still always send my autism diagnosis and things again anyway.
They don’t ask because they know about you. They can access what they like these days. I’ve got a new GP. What do they think he’s going to say. He doesn’t know me at all
I’m so worried all the time about this I was on indefinitely benefit then they made everyone change to pip I give them proberly too much information but it panics me so much I do , my seizures are getting worse just threw stress and it takes me forever to do forms I don’t see same gp like I used to hospital never sends information to doctors I used to get letters so I could show doctor now they don’t do this as proof my specialist has changed medication or to go for procedures so nothing gets done it’s a nightmare, the other day a&e told me to take a wee sample that they tested to doctors next day for more tests doctors had never heard of that and did same test and threw it away
Those guidelines about what not to send is also on the new claim forms too, and they have been for a while. And most of them make sense, but do still send additional evidence - medical reports, statements by carer(s), family and friends. Even though it says you don’t “need” to - send it anyway.
🇬🇧🏴 got a review end of year 1st time claimed pip 2022 been dealing with chronic liver sclerosis for 12yrs not alcohol related and copd diagnosis came just after awarded daily living i didn't give or ask for a review after diagnosis for COPD came so really i go with the advisors advice 🎉
Why not put all MPs as work coaches and advisors? They are spreading so much hatred. My job centre closed this week due to a lack of security staff. Mel stride, and Rishi attacks the poorest and hides away safe and sound. I feel for the work coach and advisors they get abused they should go against the DWP policies and stand up to them and go on strike.
@@DynamicDuoUK That British Comedian Jonathan Pie, he's worth a listen to, he does political satire, his comedy voices much truth about this Tory Government, i watched his latest video upload on YT and he is right that Labour didn't lose and waste all the money back in 2008, it was the banks and hedgefund managers like Rishi Sunak that helped to cause the global crash. UK under Rishi Sunak with our economy so poor and i heard £50 billion pounds is missing unaccounted for by UK Government. Everyone else's economies are doing alright, everyone else's except for ours that is and all Rishi Sunak can do is target the disabled and vulnerable. Jonathan Pie is on the ball politically btw.
In my Tribunal Appeal, I went outside for a while as I felt like I was going to faint, but I forced myself to go back in. They immediately awarded me the PIP, but how many points they were scoring for me stopped being assessed. I can understand them not wanting to proceed in case a heart attack or stroke happens, but it means how many points they would have awarded me over what the first PIP did was left open ended.
Vouchers instead of money, 'lovely' idea: Unlikely to be accepted/convenient for small businesses, unlikely to be accepted for non food items, clothes, gas and electricity, mobile topups, nappies petrol (some people on benefits have jobs and are disabled or have chronic illness, and many nurses endure in-work poverty), OTC medicines not prescribed by GPs. Vouchers will probably have expiry dates making it risky to save up for bigger purchases such as food for a family gathering at Christmas or a birthday party. They may also have to be spent all in one visit. In short, vouchers seem to be yet another limitation on some of the poorest in society while governments hypocritically spout propaganda about "supporting" people and "safety nets". In contrast, real money can be used for any purchase, which is why it is so popular and why in any crisis people eschew virtual money and demand payment in cash. There is one inescapeable conclusion about possible reasons for wanting vouchers that goes beyond simply 'giving the poor a good kicking' and that's the global leaders' obsession with getting rid of cash'
Should continue to pay money it drives the economy with spending, vouchers do not except for the dodgy companies it will be available to be used at. Rishi announced it yesterday if they get elected this is the reforms they want. If anyone's got some credibility or sense they won't vote for these idiots in a few weeks. Unless they want the country destroyed and 7 million deaths.
@@DynamicDuoUK @DynamicDuoUK Good point regarding driving the local (versus the offshore) economy. It seems obvious yet it isn't obvious and needs to be restated regularly. Regarding Rishi and the toxic clownshow that was the tories we should not regard Keith Starver as some mediaeval knight riding to our rescue as he is a proven liar, promise breaker, and backstabber. His first pledge was Axe The Bedroom Tax and that got cancelled in a nanosecond. Starmer has slipped "working families" into every utterance about addressing poverty and he spouts the anti-benefits code words ("make work pay") at every opportunity. Neither Starmer nor Liz Kendal will be kind to claimants and their whole gang (except Lisa Nandy) repeatedly voted with the tories fir "Welfare Reform" (their code words for a harsher benefits system). It will be difficult to participate in this election as it seems ever more unpalatable to vote for any if the three cheeks if the same backside imho. Keep up the great content; you are providing hope more than you will ever know
@@DynamicDuoUK That is absolutely true. Anyhoo, they have proved themselves to be criminally minded. They are just a corrupt government and we need rid of them as soon as possible, it's true this government hate the poor and disabled.
@@debbiediamondjarrett9896 Maybe if MPs had all their cash and banking frozen and were forced to live entirely on vouchers then the whole stupid idea might be abandoned. They have lines of credit at their Pall Mall clubs, and probably a tab behind the various bars in parliament. On top of that they claim just about anything they can on expenses so the poor undetpaid luvvies don't have to dip into their £85,000 salaries more than absolutely necessary. They don't have a bloody clue what it's like to stop up into the early hours checking repeatedly if a benefit is in so they can go to the filling station for some nappies or a pint of milk.
I've decided my PIP in going down the tribunal route I'll keep you posted on it all been told guess when I'll hear off them my birthday 12 th July nice getting contacted by the DWP.
Wife's just done hers it is shorter boxes are smaller but she managed to fit stuff in. Most of here's is no change however there are some changes that may take her from standard to higher rate mobility.
When I filled out my last assessment form I was pissed off with all the questions so I put in every box My conditions are not going to improve they are only going to deteriorate in time. I was awarded pip for 10 years.
I think this is the approach now that people need to have, despite them saying dont be abusive thats fine we dont have to be but we can say how bloomin annoyed we are especially if the conditions are not set to improve.
I was told to fill the review form out with all information relevant regardless as alot of conditions do have slight changes even if mild. This was advice given and it dod nenefit me.
I’m confused. I had one piece of info saying 10yr review but a couple of others saying no more reviews as there is no chance of me improving. I’m not sure where I land. Does this me a I will still need a review? Any help much appreciated guys.
On my PIP award letter on the summary of the assessment which I had done over the phone and recorded( don’t let them convince you to record it yourself as they know most people aren’t capable or able to do that, so ring the separate number to get it recorded. “ I looked at the information you provided and the health professional consultation report and changed the descriptors previously chosen, as your circumstances have changed. I made the my decision using information about your health condition or disability including details of any treatment, medication, test results and symptoms. This information is the best available and enough to decide much help you need. Please don’t mention my name in your video as I don’t know how to change my name as it appears on here.
They pick on pip while attendance allowance is left alone, on attendance allowance the daily living is the same,you get cost of living payments,you can get a blue badge,if you are on pip you have to prove your disability,not easy, most fail, to get one on attendance allowance you apply to the council,a quick interview,a bit of patter then bang,you get one,you get free dental, so why just pick on pip,seems unfair on the disabled
Iv just rang dwp about my phone.my renewal of p.i.p .update info .I was told it can take nrly 10 months to assess if no hear by October. It will continue for another year .I read this is in a mess .no can cope .
i had an esa wca assessment the other day told her one of my meds she said she did not understand why i was on it as its used for anxiety, i pointed out to her that at higher doses like i am on it is used for fybromyalgia and if they had bothered to contact the pain clinic then they actually told my doctor to prescribe which i also made her aware it can increase above what they would give for other conditions and pointed out nice guidance (she sounded confused) ...
Ok I know how to and have obtained patient summary statements from my GP surgery but how’d I get CT scans and X-rays of my arthritic joints that the hospital have done! And as for contacting GPs mines like a revolving door! Last year the GP asked why I’m using a walking stick! Well I should say on my patient info that I’ve got unstable ankles as well as arthritis in my toes, ankles, knees and I tend to fall! Oh he said!
It sounds a bit bizarre i agree DD UK. I don't see my prescription myself because my Doctor puts it through automatically and has my medication delivered directly from the pharmacists. I'm just thinking if just sending in your own written letter with all details included in the letter would cover the claimants. Due to the law, if the DWP PIP wants to claim otherwise then they would have to legally produce evidence to the contrary wouldn't they? I mean they would have to prove against your GP and your appointments and medication and other stuff wouldn't they?
Before now I have printed out the form typing in before I did so, about 2 or so weeks after I had posted, letter arrived,saying sorry that no longer need your P.I.P. On phoning they were totally lost, telling me that my form was ok and was expectable. For the next 2 months i needed to call to get my payment
I put all evidence in my envelope that I have and send it special delivery for proof of postage,I think it’s just on the day and what assessor you get depends on what outcome😢🎉❤
It depends if you get the call recorded or do it in person. When I had bone rubbing against bone, as they made wait 5 years for a hip replacement at a very young age, they said that I walked into the centre perfectly fine. They also don’t tell you in person that you can say “ no I can’t do that, as in the touch your toes part” I refuse to do in person assessments as they have lied in so many of mine.
Surely a supporting letter from your gp would be a top level of evidence from the person treating your condition/s and has all the information about you the dwp would ever need.
They want hospital and Gp results and letters but not planned appointment letters as that doesn’t give any clinical information. Results are the same eg scan results give what has been found but a planned appointment for the scan gives no useful evidence. A prescription repeat list also gives evidence but a copy of a one off script doesn’t give the full picture I have always given the things they are asking for With the smaller box. Type it and then cut and stick it onto the form!
When it comes to PIP I wouldn't be so sure that 'less is more' and this could be an attempt to reduce information to suppress useful evidence. At renewal/reassessment there should be a pragmatic process e.g. for chronic or worsening conditions the feasibly of the award being reduced or withdrawn should be near zero (it could even go higher award), for conditions that may be recoverable e.g. acute for a period of time then reassessment is more credible.
I've always strongly believed it's best to send as much evidence as possible. However, if they are now stating not to do that, it makes me worried a little bit that they are trying to reduce people's benefit by not giving enough information 👀
The summary of a patient’s record is really easy to acquire and it’s way more than a doctor’s letter, private clinics also require this summary and it usually contains all the info the dwp or whoever requires. It’s also much much quicker and easier for the patient to get this from the surgery themselves because the surgery’s don’t respond as quickly to the dwp and private clinics etc. They’re bust so they put their patients before the dwp so it’s def easier and quicker for us to get it.
I agree there are a lot of money not claimed because they say people can not claim anything to them so they don't which leave's them with lots of playing money
There millions probably billions of unclaimed benefits, everyone is entitled to live with the basic essentials. Its notyour conditions, its how they effect you. If you need help or prompting, or are not motivated to do most things your entitled. They want us all relying on benefits mostly, so you will get it using rhe right key words. They are not cancelling things or making it hard, they are encouraged to give people pip. Its getting easier not harder, its just a long shitty process, but perseverance prevails.
I think your GP may be telling porkies re. never being contacted by DWP. They don't send out little personalised letters for each claimant, but they send out hundreds of forms requesting information from GPs every day. For ESA/UC for example, most claimants have an ESA/UC113 form sent to GPs to request further info. I can only assume PIP has something similar. The fact sheet thing us because the staff do know about the conditions. Remember, they assess people with with these conditions and medications dozens of times a week. They dont need hundreds of little advice sheets for paracetamol.
Thanks for the information! It's worth checking with GP practices , some report outside letters on patient access they are supposed to realistically.. if not then that's a little naughty! Great information though thank you
The dwp already have access to your medical reports they have access to nhs systems that’s why and if you haven’t kept up your appointments within 1 month they will cancel your claim
If they contacted your GP you wouldn't mind because it would help you and I think there making you do the running about just get some A4 paper and do it on there if you have not enough room to write it in some people have a lot to write some times
You should not pay for any information from the Doctors that is so wrong.. MSO is what you need for the pip form. All evidence is on MSO… Do not pay any money to the doctors, they shouldn’t be charging anyone…
Is anyone hired these days with experience? Literally, I had pip accessors as thick as mice. Work coaches don't know the rules. restart advisors cannot even use Google Maps or spell correctly,last week a advisor looked at my CV said wow what is WPM? Word per a min😂 we should have an option. DIY: do it yourself. Just assess your pip application yourself and turn up to job centre appointments and restart appointments tick DIY box.
Never had ANY PIP advisors with any experience EVER EVERY assessor has LiED on my assessment write ups at the last assessment. I just told DWP to forget about the assessor and take me to court. Court is no longer scary to me no point having the assessment if they are paid bonuses to lie. I will be doing the same again next year. It costs the DWP money to take a person to court so I have decided to call there bluff and play them at there own game. Had enough of the assessors not writing down what I say and adding bits I never even said. BUT I do suggest to EVERYONE RECORD your interviews you have NO obligation that to tell the assessor that you are doing so either. That is how you catch them out.
I think it means send a list of prescriptions but NOT the actual prescription. I just filled one in. I dont like the new form as it's misleading. It asks what you can do with the help you are NOW getting and I think this is a precursor to the plan to change to a voucher system....or trick you into saying you can now manage...so I ignored it and just carried on about my symptoms.
100% you can make a complaint to both the DWP pip claims line and also the assessment services who assessed you. They have to show professionalism at all times and be compassionate and caring, if you feel they have fell below that standard they need reporting.
Attendance allowance daily living is same as pip,with this you get free dental too you can apply to the council for a blue badge a quick couple of questions and its yours while if you are on pip you get the third degree on your mobility to qualify to apply for one and most people fail,if you apply for blue badge just now it will be for one year if you are on pip because of these changes,if your on attendance its for 3 years yet they pick on pip,, why only pip,
Did you not know that to work for dwp,you have to be an uneducated liar. Department of Worry People have sent me a form. I was seen 2 years before by a dwp doctor,the citizens advice,advised me to just put on for no change as per doctor said in her form. I am still waiting for an answer from these liars.
Guys, ALWAYS send in everything you have that confirms a diagnosis, medication, or test that you have, and add extras pages in a covering letter so that you can go into as much detail about your day-to-day life as you need. If they then refuse to read it, you can use that as evidence against them at tribunal.
Prescription meds could have changed since prior PIP application. My inhalers were increased to Fostair 200/6, I’ve been put on statins, my BP meds have had to be increased and I had to go back onto migraine tablets…
Hi Rich, I have my next PIP assessment in 2025 and I'm worried that with these new changes they're going to fail me, I have a learning disability and mental health issues so I can't explain things very well and get muddled and flustered easily, I Don't even know id this makes any sense or not
THEY DID THAT TO ME LAST ASSESSMENT I HAD A YEAR LEFT BUT SENT ME THE PAPER WORK , THEY SAY IF YOU PASS THAT YOUR NEXT HARASSMENT WILL BE IN 3 YEARS BUT 2 YEARS I SAID LAST NO CHANGE COS THERE ISNT AND GETTING TO SEE THE DOCTOR IS A JOKE
Wow! I believe it. I saw a harridan who outright lied about everything I said. I wished I'd recorded her. There are some quite evil people working for the physical assessment side.

I'm thinking the OT report might be important as when I had to fill my PIP reassessment form in I was due to move to new premises alone with no carer so as I was struggling with carer away for a couple of weeks, I knew I'd struggle more alone but said I'd ask for OT assessment when I was in new property (can't ask until in the premises apparently). 2 months after the form went in they said still deciding but haven't cut my money and the only thing they don't have from what I said on form is OT assessment. When that came in almost a month after I had had assessment and with more info than they normally write as I said I needed it for PIP, I sent it in with covering letter detailing how I'm struggling alone, mental health issues from DWP system meaning I'm having to use PIP for essentials so can't get a cleaner, worried about money etc. Crossing fingers they increase my daily living to enhanced from standard as I am having to do everything myself, which is a nightmare for me.
I can understand they don't want regular hospital appointment letters but if you are declaring a new condition and are waiting to see specialist for it, surely an appointment letter confirms when you are having that appointment so they know a) you aren't just making it up and b) why no meds/treatment plan etc for it as not seen specialist yet but due to? Also wonder if it's in response to us complaining the forms are so long that they shortened them but made it so we can't give the right amount of info so they can fail us? When we were having palpitations and mental health crises at the DWP brown envelope, they listened...and now use a white envelope because obviously it's the colour that's the problem, not the fact that we are terrified on opening it that we've lost our lifeline or have to be reassessed imminently with all the pain, fatigue and mental health issues that involves!
i had a full spine mri, when i had to fill in the next form it stated that they only wanted test results etc from only the 3 months prior to the date of the form being filled in, so this full spine mri was not taken into account.
as for aids, i gave a walking stick and grab rails in the shower, i also had a walk in shower put in as i couldnt climb into or out of a bath. i was told that the walking stick (i was told i needed 2 when diagnosed) i have and the grab rails are NOT considered aids i need because they were not PRESCRIBED by a gp and it was my choice to change the bath to a shower and that didnt count either. i was told to get the walking sticks by a physio my gp sent me too
the letter they sent me stated that 'on the basis of probability' i was a liar
they do this with a lot of people, they base your responses that your a liar and not to be trusted, even if you send multitude of evidence, its so frustrating because you don't know half the time if its the DWP doing this or their third party assessors.
I'm just wondering if the Labour Party are going to be any different to the outgoing Tory administration with regards to PIP reforms. I've just watched an item on the news about Labour's plans to tackle unemployment. They want to get people back into work as soon as possible, and most especially all those folks suffering from anxiety & depression. That sounds suspiciously like they're going to target PIP claimants to me without stating it directly. What do you guys think?
I had to take pip to court to claim for full pip due to being declined even though I provided 5 years of medical evidence in regards to me having primary progressive multiple sclerosis classes as a critical illness. The judge toke about 2 minutes to decide I should be claiming it. All that stress they put you through all because the assessor obviously had no medical experience :(. Thank God for the c.a.b bless them.
I had done the same after being rejected for nearly a decade (new application each year) till I had enough and fought back and won.
I can still recall the Judge asking Dr how long I'd expect to be living for ans Dr said I'd be fortunate/ unfortunate to see into my 50s (late 40s).
I'm sad to hear your unwell. And I'm not surprised you had to struggle to get the help you deserved.we shouldn't have to fight for help when all they have to do is get the proof from our Drs!! It's got to change or it'll start to look like they are deliberately fecking us over !! Surely not hay !! Lol
They did all this for the WCA process.
There is no point sending them the copies of appointment letters or descriptions of the condition you've been diagnosed with - they will go on what you say and can check if need be.
Every assessment is based on how your condition affects you day to day. People with the conditions I have can be affected severely or not necessarily as much. Plus it is easy for anyone faking to make themselves appear terrible in front of any medical practitioner and the problem is that they tend to assume you are making things sound worse. This is the problem - not that they don't want to accept the paperwork.
Charlie Anderson has some great step by step videos on how to navigate the PIP form, practice for your assessment, and how to get the points whilst being honest - and to be aware of how you can be tricked.
My favourite 😍 ❤️ duo may the Lord Jesus christ be with you 🙏
Write to pip saying no to any changes ie cash to vouchers as it will bankrupt local community businesses forcing shopping to large supermarkets where the profits go out of the UK
Soon as I saw the notification I jumped straight on 😊
Excellent.
Many thanks!
I miss the live but very grateful for you making us aware. 👍
They go to extreme lengths to trip you up, they checked my gp records and asked me about health probs i had as a toddler that were very minor and had nothing to do with my claim. Another eg, i used a phrase the gp had used but because he hadn't written that particular phrase down litterally (he wrote it down in medical terminology) 'they' made a 'highlight' of it, what the so called practice nurse(assessor) didn't realise was that one problem (verbally used phrase) caused the other problem (written down med terminology). If you've got a headache from reading my comment, that's understandable.😊
I was asked by an PIPs assessor if I've ever been diagnosed with an "eating disorder" when I told her I only eat a main meal once a day. My claim was nothing to do with that at all. It was for how fibromyalgia affects me. I can't cook like I used to and eat microwave meals unless my daughter is home and will cook for me.
Yes indeed I do wonder what they know about complex spinal surgery 🤔 Absolutely nothing!!!!
It is illegal to amend ANY benefits as it's the UK people's business say no to vouchers if you don't want to bankrupt your OWN local community businesses
I wouldn't want them to contact my GP now due to the problems of even getting an appointment within 4 weeks and with a different Dr every time. Years ago your GP knew their patients very well but is that the case now? not where I live! Do GPs have the time to go through reams of notes? and would the information they give be complete? A inaccurate report can loose you your benefit. I remember 20 years ago our GP wrote that my 7 year old autistic son was having speech and language therapy so will get better. We lost his DLA and I ended up having to go to tribunal which of course was laughed out of court as autism is a lifelong developmental disorder.
I was told by dwp could put same as the last time. So i did but I did expand on it in places. And had to add a new disability which wasn’t really new it was autism but I was diagnosed it days after I was awarded pip last time.
That was sent early Feb they sent me a text stating they had received my pip form. Then they sent another saying they still have my inform but that I might have to do a face to face. My care support worker said she would try to go with me when they give the date.
Ask for your assessment to be over the phone and you can get it recorded. You can add your care worker to the call as well. Don’t do it in person as they make it impossible to get in person, even if your entitled to it.
Nice to see you you do good job Richard and say hello to cara 😊
They actually wrote to mine on my last one. I was rather shocked because they never had before.
They've also said they don't want things from before, but I still always send my autism diagnosis and things again anyway.
They don’t ask because they know about you. They can access what they like these days. I’ve got a new GP. What do they think he’s going to say. He doesn’t know me at all
I’m so worried all the time about this I was on indefinitely benefit then they made everyone change to pip I give them proberly too much information but it panics me so much I do , my seizures are getting worse just threw stress and it takes me forever to do forms I don’t see same gp like I used to hospital never sends information to doctors I used to get letters so I could show doctor now they don’t do this as proof my specialist has changed medication or to go for procedures so nothing gets done it’s a nightmare, the other day a&e told me to take a wee sample that they tested to doctors next day for more tests doctors had never heard of that and did same test and threw it away
Ww3 soon so why worry 👍
WW3 had already begun decades ago.
Those guidelines about what not to send is also on the new claim forms too, and they have been for a while. And most of them make sense, but do still send additional evidence - medical reports, statements by carer(s), family and friends. Even though it says you don’t “need” to - send it anyway.
With all the gaslighting of the disabled they could solve the energy crisis
🇬🇧🏴 got a review end of year 1st time claimed pip 2022 been dealing with chronic liver sclerosis for 12yrs not alcohol related and copd diagnosis came just after awarded daily living i didn't give or ask for a review after diagnosis for COPD came so really i go with the advisors advice 🎉
Why not put all MPs as work coaches and advisors? They are spreading so much hatred. My job centre closed this week due to a lack of security staff. Mel stride, and Rishi attacks the poorest and hides away safe and sound. I feel for the work coach and advisors they get abused they should go against the DWP policies and stand up to them and go on strike.
they wouldn't survive two minutes on a basic uc wage packet.
@@DynamicDuoUK That British Comedian Jonathan Pie, he's worth a listen to, he does political satire, his comedy voices much truth about this Tory Government, i watched his latest video upload on YT and he is right that Labour didn't lose and waste all the money back in 2008, it was the banks and hedgefund managers like Rishi Sunak that helped to cause the global crash. UK under Rishi Sunak with our economy so poor and i heard £50 billion pounds is missing unaccounted for by UK Government. Everyone else's economies are doing alright, everyone else's except for ours that is and all Rishi Sunak can do is target the disabled and vulnerable. Jonathan Pie is on the ball politically btw.
In my Tribunal Appeal, I went outside for a while as I felt like I was going to faint, but I forced myself to go back in. They immediately awarded me the PIP, but how many points they were scoring for me stopped being assessed. I can understand them not wanting to proceed in case a heart attack or stroke happens, but it means how many points they would have awarded me over what the first PIP did was left open ended.
Well done on your successful claim :) have to let us know what level they award you at when you find out.
Vouchers instead of money, 'lovely' idea: Unlikely to be accepted/convenient for small businesses, unlikely to be accepted for non food items, clothes, gas and electricity, mobile topups, nappies petrol (some people on benefits have jobs and are disabled or have chronic illness, and many nurses endure in-work poverty), OTC medicines not prescribed by GPs. Vouchers will probably have expiry dates making it risky to save up for bigger purchases such as food for a family gathering at Christmas or a birthday party. They may also have to be spent all in one visit. In short, vouchers seem to be yet another limitation on some of the poorest in society while governments hypocritically spout propaganda about "supporting" people and "safety nets". In contrast, real money can be used for any purchase, which is why it is so popular and why in any crisis people eschew virtual money and demand payment in cash. There is one inescapeable conclusion about possible reasons for wanting vouchers that goes beyond simply 'giving the poor a good kicking' and that's the global leaders' obsession with getting rid of cash'
Should continue to pay money it drives the economy with spending, vouchers do not except for the dodgy companies it will be available to be used at.
Rishi announced it yesterday if they get elected this is the reforms they want.
If anyone's got some credibility or sense they won't vote for these idiots in a few weeks.
Unless they want the country destroyed and 7 million deaths.
@@DynamicDuoUK @DynamicDuoUK Good point regarding driving the local (versus the offshore) economy. It seems obvious yet it isn't obvious and needs to be restated regularly.
Regarding Rishi and the toxic clownshow that was the tories we should not regard Keith Starver as some mediaeval knight riding to our rescue as he is a proven liar, promise breaker, and backstabber. His first pledge was Axe The Bedroom Tax and that got cancelled in a nanosecond. Starmer has slipped "working families" into every utterance about addressing poverty and he spouts the anti-benefits code words ("make work pay") at every opportunity. Neither Starmer nor Liz Kendal will be kind to claimants and their whole gang (except Lisa Nandy) repeatedly voted with the tories fir "Welfare Reform" (their code words for a harsher benefits system). It will be difficult to participate in this election as it seems ever more unpalatable to vote for any if the three cheeks if the same backside imho. Keep up the great content; you are providing hope more than you will ever know
@@DynamicDuoUK That is absolutely true. Anyhoo, they have proved themselves to be criminally minded. They are just a corrupt government and we need rid of them as soon as possible, it's true this government hate the poor and disabled.
Shame on de going for the disability people dem
@@debbiediamondjarrett9896 Maybe if MPs had all their cash and banking frozen and were forced to live entirely on vouchers then the whole stupid idea might be abandoned. They have lines of credit at their Pall Mall clubs, and probably a tab behind the various bars in parliament. On top of that they claim just about anything they can on expenses so the poor undetpaid luvvies don't have to dip into their £85,000 salaries more than absolutely necessary. They don't have a bloody clue what it's like to stop up into the early hours checking repeatedly if a benefit is in so they can go to the filling station for some nappies or a pint of milk.
Assessors do lie they did for me And got turned down but I appealed it and won the appeal
I've decided my PIP in going down the tribunal route I'll keep you posted on it all been told guess when I'll hear off them my birthday 12 th July nice getting contacted by the DWP.
Wife's just done hers it is shorter boxes are smaller but she managed to fit stuff in. Most of here's is no change however there are some changes that may take her from standard to higher rate mobility.
Wish her all the best from us and fight for what your entitled too! 🙏❤️
When I filled out my last assessment form I was pissed off with all the questions so I put in every box My conditions are not going to improve they are only going to deteriorate in time. I was awarded pip for 10 years.
I think this is the approach now that people need to have, despite them saying dont be abusive thats fine we dont have to be but we can say how bloomin annoyed we are especially if the conditions are not set to improve.
I was told to fill the review form out with all information relevant regardless as alot of conditions do have slight changes even if mild. This was advice given and it dod nenefit me.
I’m confused. I had one piece of info saying 10yr review but a couple of others saying no more reviews as there is no chance of me improving. I’m not sure where I land. Does this me a I will still need a review? Any help much appreciated guys.
On my PIP award letter on the summary of the assessment which I had done over the phone and recorded( don’t let them convince you to record it yourself as they know most people aren’t capable or able to do that, so ring the separate number to get it recorded.
“ I looked at the information you provided and the health professional consultation report and changed the descriptors previously chosen, as your circumstances have changed.
I made the my decision using information about your health condition or disability including details of any treatment, medication, test results and symptoms.
This information is the best available and enough to decide much help you need.
Please don’t mention my name in your video as I don’t know how to change my name as it appears on here.
They pick on pip while attendance allowance is left alone, on attendance allowance the daily living is the same,you get cost of living payments,you can get a blue badge,if you are on pip you have to prove your disability,not easy, most fail, to get one on attendance allowance you apply to the council,a quick interview,a bit of patter then bang,you get one,you get free dental,
so why just pick on pip,seems unfair on the disabled
Iv just rang dwp about my phone.my renewal of p.i.p .update info .I was told it can take nrly 10 months to assess if no hear by October. It will continue for another year .I read this is in a mess .no can cope .
I print out labels as much clearer as I have a disabled writing hand. I've never had a form rejected x.
Good video Richard I've had to put ok on all my paperwork evidence for pip my name,and pip tribunal ref number
You tell them how things affect you (ignored normally) but then they decide how they affect you regardless
They ignore doctors notes
i had an esa wca assessment the other day told her one of my meds she said she did not understand why i was on it as its used for anxiety, i pointed out to her that at higher doses like i am on it is used for fybromyalgia and if they had bothered to contact the pain clinic then they actually told my doctor to prescribe which i also made her aware it can increase above what they would give for other conditions and pointed out nice guidance (she sounded confused) ...
Generally, the low doses of things like Amitriptyline are given for Fibromyalgia and the larger doses are for Anxiety and Depression.
@@alexandrasmith7682 mine was high dose sertraline, the interviewer had no idea...
Ok I know how to and have obtained patient summary statements from my GP surgery but how’d I get CT scans and X-rays of my arthritic joints that the hospital have done!
And as for contacting GPs mines like a revolving door! Last year the GP asked why I’m using a walking stick! Well I should say on my patient info that I’ve got unstable ankles as well as arthritis in my toes, ankles, knees and I tend to fall! Oh he said!
"No changes" fits fine in the boxes I found. Six months later they still say they are looking at my application.
Are they still paying you PIP in the meantime?
Online is all well and good for some but some of us can’t afford computers only tiny smart phones!
They should certainly provide a service locally to do it for people online it would save a lot of issues as well.
@@DynamicDuoUK totally agree sadly I’m bedbound though so wouldn’t be able to access a local service myself
I've already done one.
It sounds a bit bizarre i agree DD UK. I don't see my prescription myself because my Doctor puts it through automatically and has my medication delivered directly from the pharmacists. I'm just thinking if just sending in your own written letter with all details included in the letter would cover the claimants. Due to the law, if the DWP PIP wants to claim otherwise then they would have to legally produce evidence to the contrary wouldn't they? I mean they would have to prove against your GP and your appointments and medication and other stuff wouldn't they?
They contact the gp to make sure your not lying. Because they don't believe you
100% truth in that
Before now I have printed out the form typing in before I did so, about 2 or so weeks after I had posted, letter arrived,saying sorry that no longer need your P.I.P. On phoning they were totally lost, telling me that my form was ok and was expectable. For the next 2 months i needed to call to get my payment
That’s so wrong .
Always send pip forms by recorded post, they will hate you for it but they can’t then make it disappear.
Send the info anyway. Its what my sister does.
I put all evidence in my envelope that I have and send it special delivery for proof of postage,I think it’s just on the day and what assessor you get depends on what outcome😢🎉❤
It depends if you get the call recorded or do it in person. When I had bone rubbing against bone, as they made wait 5 years for a hip replacement at a very young age, they said that I walked into the centre perfectly fine.
They also don’t tell you in person that you can say “ no I can’t do that, as in the touch your toes part” I refuse to do in person assessments as they have lied in so many of mine.
iv been told by dwp before saying they dont always contact gp's ... so basically they make decisions without any professional input
This is correct, they only contact GP's at the "assessors" discretion not the case manager who makes the overall decision...
Surely a supporting letter from your gp would be a top level of evidence from the person treating your condition/s and has all the information about you the dwp would ever need.
They want hospital and Gp results and letters but not planned appointment letters as that doesn’t give any clinical information. Results are the same eg scan results give what has been found but a planned appointment for the scan gives no useful evidence.
A prescription repeat list also gives evidence but a copy of a one off script doesn’t give the full picture
I have always given the things they are asking for
With the smaller box. Type it and then cut and stick it onto the form!
When it comes to PIP I wouldn't be so sure that 'less is more' and this could be an attempt to reduce information to suppress useful evidence.
At renewal/reassessment there should be a pragmatic process e.g. for chronic or worsening conditions the feasibly of the award being reduced or withdrawn should be near zero (it could even go higher award), for conditions that may be recoverable e.g. acute for a period of time then reassessment is more credible.
I've always strongly believed it's best to send as much evidence as possible. However, if they are now stating not to do that, it makes me worried a little bit that they are trying to reduce people's benefit by not giving enough information 👀
Regardless to what the dwp say just send the entire lot.
I had my review the other day and they did write to my doctor to ask some the questions what was on the pip form they are trying to catch people out
The summary of a patient’s record is really easy to acquire and it’s way more than a doctor’s letter, private clinics also require this summary and it usually contains all the info the dwp or whoever requires. It’s also much much quicker and easier for the patient to get this from the surgery themselves because the surgery’s don’t respond as quickly to the dwp and private clinics etc. They’re bust so they put their patients before the dwp so it’s def easier and quicker for us to get it.
Thanks great!
You're welcome!
I agree there are a lot of money not claimed because they say people can not claim anything to them so they don't which leave's them with lots of playing money
There millions probably billions of unclaimed benefits, everyone is entitled to live with the basic essentials. Its notyour conditions, its how they effect you. If you need help or prompting, or are not motivated to do most things your entitled.
They want us all relying on benefits mostly, so you will get it using rhe right key words.
They are not cancelling things or making it hard, they are encouraged to give people pip. Its getting easier not harder, its just a long shitty process, but perseverance prevails.
I agree
I think your GP may be telling porkies re. never being contacted by DWP. They don't send out little personalised letters for each claimant, but they send out hundreds of forms requesting information from GPs every day. For ESA/UC for example, most claimants have an ESA/UC113 form sent to GPs to request further info. I can only assume PIP has something similar.
The fact sheet thing us because the staff do know about the conditions. Remember, they assess people with with these conditions and medications dozens of times a week. They dont need hundreds of little advice sheets for paracetamol.
Thanks for the information! It's worth checking with GP practices , some report outside letters on patient access they are supposed to realistically.. if not then that's a little naughty!
Great information though thank you
The dwp already have access to your medical reports they have access to nhs systems that’s why and if you haven’t kept up your appointments within 1 month they will cancel your claim
I just had to add any changes, they judged on my original application form
If they contacted your GP you wouldn't mind because it would help you and I think there making you do the running about just get some A4 paper and do it on there if you have not enough room to write it in some people have a lot to write some times
You should not pay for any information from the Doctors that is so wrong.. MSO is what you need for the pip form. All evidence is on MSO… Do not pay any money to the doctors, they shouldn’t be charging anyone…
Because of last job taxi driver, it now classed that I don’t have trouble driving to anywhere, I Spend time checking the were I am going
Awwww missed the live, hope your keeping well
Get a request in for FREEDOM OF INFORMATION if you don’t have copies of your last assessment.
good advice! thank you for sharing.
Is anyone hired these days with experience? Literally, I had pip accessors as thick as mice. Work coaches don't know the rules. restart advisors cannot even use Google Maps or spell correctly,last week a advisor looked at my CV said wow what is WPM? Word per a min😂 we should have an option. DIY: do it yourself. Just assess your pip application yourself and turn up to job centre appointments and restart appointments tick DIY box.
Never had ANY PIP advisors with any experience EVER EVERY assessor has LiED on my assessment write ups at the last assessment. I just told DWP to forget about the assessor and take me to court. Court is no longer scary to me no point having the assessment if they are paid bonuses to lie. I will be doing the same again next year. It costs the DWP money to take a person to court so I have decided to call there bluff and play them at there own game. Had enough of the assessors not writing down what I say and adding bits I never even said. BUT I do suggest to EVERYONE RECORD your interviews you have NO obligation that to tell the assessor that you are doing so either. That is how you catch them out.
I think it means send a list of prescriptions but NOT the actual prescription. I just filled one in. I dont like the new form as it's misleading. It asks what you can do with the help you are NOW getting and I think this is a precursor to the plan to change to a voucher system....or trick you into saying you can now manage...so I ignored it and just carried on about my symptoms.
Can i make a complaint about my assessor? She was laughing and making snorts of derision when i was explaining something to her.
100% you can make a complaint to both the DWP pip claims line and also the assessment services who assessed you.
They have to show professionalism at all times and be compassionate and caring, if you feel they have fell below that standard they need reporting.
I was told that they now have access to your medical file? as well as your bank
Medical files upon request. Bank account only if suspected of fraud or if it has over 6k in savings it will flag up with data sharing.
@@DynamicDuoUK im pretty sure that is illegal. They cannot access your personal information without your consent.
Attendance allowance daily living is same as pip,with this you get free dental too you can apply to the council for a blue badge a quick couple of questions and its yours while if you are on pip you get the third degree on your mobility to qualify to apply for one and most people fail,if you apply for blue badge just now it will be for one year if you are on pip because of these changes,if your on attendance its for 3 years yet they pick on pip,, why only pip,
Did you not know that to work for dwp,you have to be an uneducated liar. Department of Worry People have sent me a form. I was seen 2 years before by a dwp doctor,the citizens advice,advised me to just put on for no change as per doctor said in her form.
I am still waiting for an answer from these liars.
Guys, ALWAYS send in everything you have that confirms a diagnosis, medication, or test that you have, and add extras pages in a covering letter so that you can go into as much detail about your day-to-day life as you need. If they then refuse to read it, you can use that as evidence against them at tribunal.
Prescription meds could have changed since prior PIP application. My inhalers were increased to Fostair 200/6, I’ve been put on statins, my BP meds have had to be increased and I had to go back onto migraine tablets…
Hi Rich, I have my next PIP assessment in 2025 and I'm worried that with these new changes they're going to fail me, I have a learning disability and mental health issues so I can't explain things very well and get muddled and flustered easily, I Don't even know id this makes any sense or not
Personally id just send it anyway
THEY DID THAT TO ME LAST ASSESSMENT I HAD A YEAR LEFT BUT SENT ME THE PAPER WORK , THEY SAY IF YOU PASS THAT YOUR NEXT HARASSMENT WILL BE IN 3 YEARS BUT 2 YEARS I SAID LAST NO CHANGE COS THERE ISNT AND GETTING TO SEE THE DOCTOR IS A JOKE

I mean like you have to explain why there is no change, so if you are the same i was told/advised always give a reasoning otherwise they will look to assess you if this makes sense... love ya too .
