PIP Question

I can walk to far and feed and dress myself, so no PIP for me and yet some people who are just as fit or fitter than me manage to get it, do they just pick an application out of their post bag and award them money like some kind of lucky dip or something?

Not a burden on the state then ;) It does take me a couple of hours to wake up and get dressed sometimes, again a grey area. The score felt unrelated to what I had discussed with the assessor. I only scored on one category. Must try harder.

I am the same, I dont wish to sort of 'stretch the truth' lol as it feels very dishonest. It can go to a tribunal though if you keep challenging the decision made so youd have to turn up in person with all your paperwork ( proof from Drs, therapist, OTs, Support worker or the psychiatrist who diagnosed you etc).Alternatively may attend via a teams meeting.

Its not about the money. Its partly about the principle of how they carry out these tests. I never even got to meet anyone. I don't want to embellish anything either I genuinely believe they are wrong.

I didn't get as  far as being assessed, I just got a letter saying no, I was pretty sure I wsn't going to get in anyway. It always takes me a couple of hours to get going in the morning or early afternoon!

The form excludes assessing for multiple disablities that may stop you from doing things, when I did my ESA form it said to put anything that didn't fit on a seperate page, so I did. I sent them about 6 pages of notes answering each point on the form in greater detail, I wrote it like an essay, with an introduction, the main body and a conclusion that explained how all my various conditions get together and gang up on me, limiting what I can do. I was surprised, they accepted all of it!
