PIP stopped no letter at witts end cant pay bills or buy food please HELP answer if you have any idea

NAS83342

My son diagnosed with autism Over 10 yr ago now and he received his pip monthly and I get carers allowance..for some reason pip stopped I check bank ballance it not been there last 2 months I cant phone as its easterwkend am going of my rocker they're hasling for rent the bills have just gone out am am getting deeper Into max of overdraft with what looks like no way to pay it..I have no family and am on my own and I can't tell my son as it will make him distressed. I have had no letter saying I need to resubmit any forms nothing. THE only thing I can think of is that he has a fixed amount t of yrs and that time is up..but I can't find nor have got any letters from them saying that. At this point I have my eye on a rather fat pigeon should it come to that..

  • nah fixed amount of years is income based jobseekers style universal credit.

    pip should be ongoing, if its stopped it would be stopped on the back of a health review an if a reviewer determins theres nothing preventing his ability to work.

    the only other way it could have stopped is if your son has done something, like accidently contacted them himself and stopped it by mistake?

    id suggest its due to the holidays too but if you say its been stopped for 2 months then yeah, thats not the holidays as holidays will only delay it short term in the holiday and miss a day or 2 instead not 2 months.

    another possibility is that if they send you a letter to see if you want to keep claiming each year that letter didnt reach you and went missing in the post.... likely due to postal strikes, and by not responding to it the claim was ended...

    they did this to me when i was on housing register, they sent letter and i had to respond to it, but i didnt get it so i got kicked off.

    in that case the postal strikes probably are to blame for it.

    and insider news.... the post office is no longer doing letters... they are outsourcing their letters to companies like evri! lmao yeah.... were going to be missing many letters now.
