Question about PIP was created by ian smith
Morning all new at this, but like many i have just received my PIP letter and yes i was on full DLA sent my PIP paper last April this Feb letter informs me i don't meet any of the criteria surprise, it seems like many have had the same, it seems the dicision makers are reading from another script, the reason i say that, and its the question i am asking is, that informs them i cannot walk 20 metres but gets told that i do not have a condition that would impact on your ability to walk, what is the point in answering a questions only for the decision maker to make me feel i am lying and it seems calling my doctor a lier to, it seems they have done the same with most of the questions i answered, how do we get through this i suffer like many with serve problems, because i have a disability that they don't identify clearly i feel like square peg for a round hole, we are not being treated like humanbeings we are being asked to jump through hops get nowhere and suffer increased stress and anxiety to try and get a little extra to live, hope someone gets the point i am trying to make, i was a paper based consultation.
cheers Ian.

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
You can appeal the Decision, the first stage to this is to request a Mandatory Reconsideration, we recommend that you do this is writing, see our PIP MR & Appeal guide for more information and template letters that you can use to make the request.
If you have not already done so, you should request the assessment report, phone the DWP office that dealt with your claim, again you should follow up the claim in writing.
Your aim during the MR and Appeal, if it goes that far, is to show that you meet the criteria for an award. It may help you if you have a look at our PIP Claim guides to see what the requirements are.
