FAILED PIP MR

Yes, as I thought, hence this why we all have to go to appeal. Oh well I have l seemed to have lost the expense form that the Courts had sent me to claim back the taxi expense, I will collect one on the day which is Thursday at 2 pm. The amount of paperwork is sending me bog-eyed. I really cannot wait till it is all over now. I will let you know the outcome!!!... Thanks Gordon.

Hi Gordon,

I went with my son to the Courts to have my hearing. There was a Doctor, a Judge, a disability Lawyer and a DWP representing officer.

The Judge started off asking the DWP officer how the PIP assessor could have given me zero points when the day after I had my ESA WCA I was put straight into the Support Group. The DWP officer just sat and shrugged her shoulders. I actually started crying and became very distressed at this point.

The DWP office won't budge and has stuck to the zero points award. The Judge has now asked for my medical records starting from January 2015 up till now. And that is it.

Is this a good or bad sign please Gordon? I actually have made an emergency appointment with my GP in the morning as I would like her to send a letter on explaining how distressed I was feeling on the day of the trial and that my IBS is in full swing and I am back in bed being nursed on by my son.

If I do get an award, who do I complain to regarding the PIP assessor please? I must take action before he gets away with doing this to vulnerable people again and again.

Thank-you.

Hi Gordon,

How can they see though how I meet the descriptors just by looking at my medical records as this is not a daily diary of how I live as such?

The CAB (in my case have made me look a fool as they really did not know what they were doing with PIP forms and PIP appeals. The Judge pointed this out to me today that the PIP2 gave a scoring of 38!!! This is what the CAB advisor gave me to help me with. The Judge said that he has never ever come across one so high.

The Judge has agreed on giving the next hearing over the phone as I stated that I could not go through this again as my head was exploding with pain to the point where I could hardly see.

Thanks for this advice Gordon but I fear that I may be getting a negative result with this, we will see.
