Got refused Pip ….but I’m too tired to fight it, go through the process again

Sally

I knew that could be the outcome to it, I’m too tired to fight it, and send off a mandatory reconsideration.

just going to accept it and try and work more without burning out.

Did have a meltdown after reading it and felt wobbly, I just exploded.

I live in supported living. I always feel embarrassed after a meltdown, that often includes screaming/shouting/swearing, throwing something and hitting myself in the head.

So exhausted after. I wish I could deal nga easier, im 37. That’s no way for a 37 year old female to act :( and I know there are bigger problems.

how do people regulate their emotions better and avoid a meltdown, I don’t always know what I need/need to do, as I don’t always feel like talking straight away, I guess going to bed, hiding under a duvet, what should I do to avoid a massive meltdown like that ? when I’m feeling that way?

It’s not fair on my Carer’s, they have incredible patience with me.

  • I have the opposite problem, I have had very little issues with getting recognition from the DWP for my problems.
    But I have struggled big time with the NHS, my autism assessment went so bad, he wasnt interested in the symptoms and refused to talk to my older sibling at al.

    I am not sure if I can offer advice on the PIP claim itself, as I think there is stuff in the rules regarding legal advice.

    But I agree with what Mr T said.

    In terms of dealing with the setback, I have had many of these, and its even harder when living alone as there is no one to lean on.  I have found the way out is a distraction, and to stop thinking about it, easier said than done, especially if you need to do stuff related to the event, but for me its playing computer games that I know can absorb an entire day, these not only reset my mind, but they make me more tired so then makes it easier to sleep as well.
