Zero points and called a liar

I got my PIP decision through today and scored zero points in both categories. I'm pretty schooked. Maybe that's naiive. I had heard the stories from other people and knew it woud be hard to explain the symptomms of my brain injury when I look 'normal' but nothing prepared me for the absolute bull sh*t that was in that letter.

I didn't 100% believe it when I read from other people that assessors make stuff up. I didn't think the disabled people were lying I just thought maybe there were things that had been taken out of context. But I can now add myself to list of people who have had assessors blatantly tell lies about htem.

Taking steps towards mandatory reconsideration and have appointment with doctor and an advocate..

NOt really sure why I'm posting. So angry upset and insulted at the things that have been said.

Thanks Gordon, I'm not even waiting for their mandatory rethink rubbish. I'm contacting my mp asap (as soon as I figure out how to do that) because the comments I got in this were totally unacceptable and ableist to say the least.

As a result I've now had to contact my college and tell them I wont be back to the course. I didn't say why. It is a bit embarrassing to have to say that I can no longer afford to pay for someone to navigate me to my class and back home again. And this is just a taste of things to come I know.

But this will make me even stronger.

Good for you.

Make as much noise and fuss as tou are able.

You might like to try any charities which cover any of your conditions.

You can find your MP by putting your constituency in here

Best wishes.

Thanks Gordon. That is something I should perhaps not put my energy into just now. I dont understand really what an mp does anyway.
