Pip

Hi Anyone got a decision on their PIP claims yet? I am getting seriously annoyed and upset 4 months been waiting and been told today that it could be another six weeks, as report only just gone back to DWP. Have wrote to my MP and going to inform minister fro works and pensions getting ridiculous now, Any ideas who I complain to? Thanks:mad::mad::mad:

    We contacted IDS got a tough s h i t e letter back. Its with our local MP at the min and I have made it clear that my OH is suicidal and I am becoming ill.

    It might be worth emailing the idiot anyway just so you can add it to what you did when and if the media come into play.
