Turned down for PIP was created by Wendy Wilson
My husband was turned down for PIP 2 weeks ago. He has IPF Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung disease. in 2 years he has gone from a strong healthy man to a man with no energy. persistent cough that never ever stops, until maybe he falls asleep. can't even walk 20 yards without a coughing fit to get his breath. My husband had to stop working in April because he just couldn't carry on. he has always worked since he was 16 years old, and is 61 now and would you believe, only ever had 2 weeks off sick in his life.!! Appalled and disgusted at the result, the lies the decision maker told on the reasoning was unbelievable,, they never even 'read' the application, neither did they contact the consultant at hospital, I don't even think they know what IPF is. at least with COPD you can have oxygen, there is 'nothing' for my husband. disgusting, and yes I'm going to have a go and appeal myself.. unless anyone knows someone brilliant who can help us. thank you for listening to my moan ..

Surely they're trying it on hoping you don't appeal.These people really are the scum of the earth.Good luck with your appeal.
