DWP PIP Farce

dialysis

Well and truly fed up and down at the farce I am having with my PIP claim. Applied Aug 2013 turned down December 2013 mandatory reconsideration requested same time and now been told it could be another 11 weeks and I might have to have another medical:mad: I know most on here are having loads of trouble with timescales and decisions so just a warning really of what some of you might have to go through Sorry. So peed off now I have sent tons of evidence from my GP, CPN and consultant and still its not enough, I suffer from
idiopathic chronic Urticaria
Idiopathic chronic angio odema
Anaphylaxsis
Newly diagnosed ME/CFS
Kidney stones due to all tablets I am on
and not surprisingly depression
It seems quite obvious to me that I am going to need care needs with all my disabilities but the DWP still need more evidence, I am virtually housebound, fatigued, in pain and unable to perform normal daily tasks and still they are stalling just fed up of it all now:mad:

Did you send evidence of your care needs though and not just of your conditions? It's not enough to just say I suffer from x as people are not all the same and it's not obvious from a condition how you as an individual will be.

Hi Yes my doctor and my CPN sent evidence with my original claim and just sent another letter from my doctor.

dialysis i sympathise with u. i was on IB, HRC and HRM until 2012 when all was removed

despite much evidence from consultants, hospitals and proof of numerous hospital appointments (in excess of 25 last year) i am still without. i have appealed, i have gone to tribunal, i have re-applied. NOTHING!!!

i have yet another appeal coming up but dont hold out much hope to be honest.

i do hope u have more success than me

Thank you Shykins. I hope you are successful this time, it infuriates me that people who need this are being shafted from a great height. My MP is involved so maybe if you have not done so maybe give it a try I am lost at what to do now though Good luck to you:A

Hi Dyalisis, Sorry to hear of your problems - my question is 'who is doing the mandatory recondiderations, DWP or ATOS?

Hi Cazz the dwp are but they have told me they have to write to my assessment provider to get their views on the reconsideration. TBH ATOS were bloody useless the report I got was not even factually correct, the nurse who did the aassessment told the dwp that I walked to the centre and walked out to the car over 200 metres, a toltal lie my OH picked me up and dropped me off outside the door:mad: she also said that I told her that I go visiting friends who live miles away, and I walk there. No faith in them at all

Sorry about your MP mine has been good even rung me at one point and has wrote letters on my behalf wether it will speed up the process I don't know but at least he has been helpful:)

my ATOS report said i walked up stairs and could walk 200M, i asked how the hell he would know this as there were no stairs and i was in a wheelchair. the response was that it was his judgement that i could!!!!! i mean u just cant argue can u?? and believe me i tried

Have you actually considered the fact that the DWP may have been right?
