Thanks for the replies and suggestions I do the forms myself now. I had Fightback do one when I got worse and they did my MR and Tribunal submission and coached me for the tribunal which I won inside 3 minutes enchanced both elements. I have a box from the dwp with everything i’ve ever sent them there’s about 2000 pages so i’ll see about putting something together from that. If I could ask them easily i’d ask for them to put it off given current issues but we all know the DWP has zero compassion so probably wouldn’t work.
To be honest i’ve a good mind to just send what I sent in 3 years ago it was good enough then. The deadline is 28/10. I’ve got a child in mental health crisis and there’s ZERO support even from a GP on top of everything else going on I don’t think I can face doing it any other way i’m pretty close to a full breakdown myself after the summer we just had:
DWP screwed up UC claim in July as older child came off but younger child added disability element so instead UC was short by £700 a month only sorted in September
Older child ended up in hospital screaming in pain and ended up needing emergency surgery was in for 2 weeks and didn’t eat for 11 days.
Now younger one has his crisis so we’re going through it again and now they want to renew PIP, it was due this year but for some reason they extended it by 12 months to make renewal next year. Had to phone them to find out, 45 minutes on hold.
Hospitals are 30 miles away so thats fun too
