@ChrisK Everyone I know who’s on PIP or DLA feels exactly the same 🙁
There was a time when you could get a fair assesment, usually from your own GP but for at least the last 15-20 years it’s been a nightmare for a lot of people. I also lost my high rate DLA when moved to PIP, took two years to get a re-assessment and the enhanced mobility re-instated for 3 years. For my last review I added 2 pages detailing all the mistakes and outright lies the assessors had listed in my previous assessments.
I added multiple photos of damage to me from frequently falling and 2 letters from my physio confirming my ongoing mobility problems. This time I got an “ongoing award” (basically 10 years with a light touch review). Still keeping records of anything that happens so when time comes I’ll have more evidence to send in if needed.
It really shouldn’t be like this but I’m afraid that with the new changes they’ve announced it’s only going to get a lot worse.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
