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

Thank you so much for reading all of this
Charlie
I jut received my letter of refusal yesterday. I got two points because I need prompted to engage with people. I suffer from severe agoraphobia and have only left the house 4 times in the last two years. It's almost as if they have ignored all my other answers and missed the point. My anxiety is now through the roof because I think they think I'm lying. The thought of an appeal is makind me feel physically sick and completely hopeless!
Don't give up you've got to fight them like what Charlie says we're entitled to this money and she's right I'm going to fight mine sent a mandatory reconsideration
They probably fail the majority of ppl, as a cost saving thing, everything they do is a screening OUT process.
It is hard not to take it personally, just tell them how it is.
@@KimWilliams-vz6sy, thankyou!
@@carolineowen7846, thankyou!
Had my refusal letter couple weeks ago I feel the assessor lied about some things ☹️she said I’m not on anxiety meds and I am and have been for 15 years ! I was so flustered after a hour and 40 min assessment by phone I don’t know if I can cope with a mandatory reconsideration
I've got a phone assessment tomorrow at 11- 45... thank you so much for advice and help... p.s. told them I'm going to record it as per your suggestion 😏...will let you know how it goes 😉
🤞💪🙏
I have mine too & dreading it but watching these has helped. Thank you Charlie ❤
Good luck 🙏
Update.. had phone assessment at 11-45 finished at 12-43 .. was done by a qualified nurse she said.... but i answered all questions she asked , she was very nice and emphatic, and there was no trick questions, told her I'm recording..no probs, she said she is also recording and will send c.d. to me in a few days... anyway at the end of it she thanked me for being honest with her and said she is going to recommend me getting pip...obviously she said its not up to her but , is on my side ... completely not what I was expecting..oh she also said she would be so surprised if I do not get anything... but I have her on record saying it
...update 2 ...16- 30 got a txt from pip saying they have received her report already and it usually takes about 8 weeks for decision for payment.... SO I MUST'VE BEEN LUCKY AND GOT A GOOD ASSESSOR 👍... will let ya all know if I get anything when it arrives
How did it go?
I had face to face PIP a week ago, and received a letter a week later, my PIP was approved, because I told them the truth with my illness, honesty is the best policy
Definitely.
I cry and want them to leave me alone, i only feel safe with my carer when i go out. Also have to have my carer when any one i dont know comes to my house. I have problems remembering when im asked question as am on loads of medication . You are a caring person thank you.
I had a tribunal yesterday and won and I'd like to say thank you for all the advice you give, it was very helpful to me and really helped me get the decision in my favour. The process is very stressful and drawn out it took me 14 months for my case to be completed but now I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders
Good luck all I never got my pip but I'm fighting it mandatory reconsideration letter. Good for you Charlie you go girl!!! Telling the DWP!!. Xx
Hi Charlie, I Just thought I'd let you know the brilliant news. I got a call today, saying my daughter is being awarded PIP. Your help made this happen and I'm so incredibly grateful to you..... Thank you so much for these videos. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I’m trying to fill in my review form and it’s giving my such anxiety and I wanna scream and give up; but your videos ground me and are very interesting and helpful 🙏
I was receiving the daily living enhanced rate and standard rate mobility. Unfortunately my health has deteriorated significantly since claiming pip so in November I submitted another application to see if I could get the enhanced rate for mobility. It was the day after the phone appointment that I discovered your RUclips videos and I wish I’d found you earlier as I have received the decision letter today and low and behold I’m now given the Standard rate for both Daily Living and Mobility! I’m going to appeal because I’m so fed up of being ‘dumped on’! Lots of watching your videos this weekend Charlie! Thanks for all the advice you give.
Yes Charlie this was absolutely great advice and I told them on the form I don't go out because of my anxiety and that I panic in case I have an accident, meaning if I soil my pants because I have IBD and have urgent toilet needs, so they sent me a letter to say I have a telephone accessment I was so relieved and more confident to deal with the call and have been awarded full PIP because I studied carefully what you said and took the time to practice how I would answer them, thank you so so much xx
Your videos are very interesting and I think they really help people get what they really need and deserve thank you so much 💕
I barely got any points on this as i didn't understand what " prompting" meant really, i have issues and avoid mixing with ppl unless i need food or appointments. Now i know for my nxt review Thanks ♥️
Charlie why have they taken mental health out of the PIP Renewal form ? brilliant video by the way my friend .
Thanks Charlie.
Hope you’re well?
ThNkyou for video ❤
Regardless of whether someone may make an exception to their own needs and get a taxi alone without social support as a one off occasion, this shouldn't be taken into account anyway. PIP is supposed to be what you can't manage for 50 percent of the time or more. Managing something once does not mean you can repeatedly manage this as many times as needed. It doesn't count in any other area, so engaging with people or leaving the house should be no different. In my opinion!
I have watched a few of your videos with interest. Your one of the few channels that don't imply lying at the pip assessment. Such as saying you don't have pets or about your ability to drive a car, because they will be judged capable in certain areas. These are perfectly legitimate, because certain aspects of tasks associated with these involve movement, actions, cognition, which people may have contradicting statements in the application, which mirror those actions.
I could go on, now my son is severely autistic, high level dla both elements. I know what the system is like from inside and out of the tent. I worked for 3 years as a PiP DM, I now work as a DWP fraud investigator, people try and do make ia mockery of the system and I enjoy my current role enforcing the rules and prosecute where I can. I also enjoyed seeing people get the help they deserved when I was a DM, I have seen it all from claims for broken legs up to horrendous stage 4 terminal cancer. Sadly people will complain they are hard done by, but I know there are far more who are grateful for the help they have and entitled to.
A lady on my pip who was a pop decision maker had put in my report about my anxiety saying that I didn't have anxiety on the telephone yet she never did the telephone assessment wtf!!. I scored 6 points was two off the normal one but I'm going to fight for it Charlie I know I was down scored I'll keep you posted xx
Yes I do , avoid people . Adhd autism depression long term . I scored 0 on the whole test
Hi charlie
Can you please confirm
If the
Majority of time rule applys to mental health
I.e mixing with people
Or going out house etc
Charlie do you know how I can get copy of my pip assessment form that I submitted on line. CAB helped me to do it and submitted the form. I later checked as I wanted to print it, but there isn’t an option to print it after submitting. And other people say you can’t print it after submitting. Is there any way to get it?
I have only recently been diagnosed with ASD and told I have ADHD too but would need to wait years for a separate diagnosis. I was nearly arrested once when I had been in A+E for 11 hours. I threw a cup of coffee at the floor in front of the reception desk. My husband intervened because I ran away. I'm 58 this is so embarrassing.
Please don't feel embarrassed , it's the ones who put you in this position that should feel embarrassed , not you 💖
❤
My sister help me fill out the pip form . I’ve put home visit or phone call assessment , hopefully all will be ok . I sent in recorded post yesterday . It’s a waiting game
Hi i got severe mental health issues i can meet people face to face due to my issues on my face that the way I born and I still receive employer and support allowance but i believe soon they will switch me to unvirsal credit benefit my question do they going make me sing at the job centre every week please i need answer i really worry
I’ve just received back me pip and been put on a lower entitlement
The letter said that I’ve received is complete saying different thinks that I said in the form and the interview
Ie preparing food which my wife does or a probably would not eat properly
Question is if I contest it and don’t win could I lose my original PIP that I just got a bit scared and nervous?
Due to my bpd i can get violent and hit people if they irritate me or upset me, and i have a history of this, so this will be my answer to this question!.
Pip ripped me a new one last time i had a phone assessment 😢didnt give me a 1 point, basically said i am a liar even tho i have major desspressive disorder axiety ptsd & food disorder, haven't been able to face doing another assessment 🙃
Is it OK to say in the tribunal that the assessor lied? What's a better way of putting it?
Hi Charlie , I hope you can help. My autistic son has a mental age of 10 and has not got capacity. He do s not speak to strangers. Will they make him do this face to face or phone interview when he goes over from DLA to PIP?
Please do a video on how Carers Allowance is linked to PIP, who can apply (the carer OR the person needing care). CA can be used for any purpose which you the carer, or you the "service user" need.
I've looked this up and it seems people have to be pension age. Is that not the case? Yes, a video on this would be good.
I’ve had a hysterectomy a massive fybroid removed along with half my bowel so I have a shit bag and I also had a vaginal fistula now I have a hernia behind my bowel that’s poking out of my stomach where my shit bag goes so I tried to inform them that my situation has changed mobility wise I told them that I can’t stand up for long or walk far. But they just kept the claim as it was could I do anything about this x
That's an awful lot for you to bear. I can only wish you good luck ❤
Is what it is suppose
Can anyone advise:-
Do you need to be in 1 category or you can fall under more than 1 😕?
When you have no choice but to take your kids to school , does that count as prompting?😢
