i won my pip appeal on 5th of December 2018 which was award backdated to 6th Feb 2018. I have still not had any paperwork. This is now affecting my housing and council tax benefit, and universal credits. which i was forced to claim in august 2018 by my council after moving out of ex's house which i had housing benefit as he moved out until i got myself and kids re homed. (lower rate of mobility pip at that time) i lost my disability premium that i had been awarded on top of JSA. Nobody seemed t know anything at job centre when i constantly asked for information or support during this process. I feel that i am constantly being messed about by benefits office and local council with vague no real answers responses.I do however have a great team of support from financial inclusion officer and specialist employability support worker who has spent more time fighting for me to get information which they find as difficult as i had for the years previous trying on my own. Just so i can try and fight the fact that i am facing my recent disability which will only continue to get worse and has been difficult coming to terms with i am no longer who i was before.(sounds stupid i know) without any of the financial issues on top. I continue to be financially worse off at every opportunity with no real hope of being on top of it all than helping me find employment and im so glad i would never have managed to even get to this point in trying to rebuild my life with my sons. sorry about the rant. i am aware I'm probably luckier than most though as some people have no support at all. and I have awesome supportive kids who are very supportive and quite honestly i am so proud of the gentlemen they are becoming despite the issues we face at least we face them together. x L x

It would have been better to start your own thread with your question. Asking questions on other peoples thread always causes confusion because they read the first post and answer that.


You need to ring DWP and ask what's going on. It's possible they've requested the statement of reasons.

The only contact info I put on forms is the name and address no phone numbers or email. If they want to contact me it's by mail only. I have never had any confirmation that they received my forms the only time they did was a Subject Access Request, they don't even send me that now, but it is 5 years 9 months since they last accessed me for ESA.
The only time they did contact me is when daughter did the first ESA form and they contacted me at 12:30 to say they had to reschedule it.
