Turn2us website , disability rights are two that look helpful . It is stressfull but do not give up I know of someone who won his appeal the second time. citizens advice one best gives full description and explanations to what needs to be evidenced in each section. It is worth s look at the detail of each component and gather evidence. National law centres offer support and free advice also. Hope this is helpful if only to say try again its a complex disability and you are not alone.
Hi dont give up thats what they want you to do!!
I have my tribuneral on Monday.i went to citizens advice they are great.
Will let you know how i get on. Like you i lost my car!
Best of luck Glasgow gel.....I just wasn't in the right frame of mind when I read my re consideration letter at the end of last year can't remember when the car went back now but I intend to re apply seeing PD nurse on 6th Feb as things not going so good at the minute so will ask for her input also.
Well I succeeded in retaining the higher level pip but reading the other sad tales like newdidit losing your car, they are aware of your situation yet still you lost out, it makes me spit blood by what guide lines they work from is beyond the IQ of Einstein,, for sure, for instance my mobility is so bad now I often have to crawl around the house as my back pain is so severe yet I only got 1point for it but if I have a dog for the next 4yrs how big is it how much does it eat and has it been trained to eat nowt, well how longs a piece of string,, nope he owns the Chinese Takeaway in the village and has nothing to do with string., for tha was just made up by the way but no less silly. FED
It took me awhile FedEx but I got the joke I the end lol ......well just to update really my PiP re application went back with some fantastic letters of support from my local PD UK supporter and PD nurse. I have received a letter to say Capita are now reviewing the evidence I am so so hoping I don't need to go through the awful face to face again but who knows......I have also, following advice from support worker challenged the original decision as all involved considered I should not have lost what I did with the evidence and info I provided in the first place.....hindsight is a wonderful thing and tribunal is what I should have done but just could not face it.....am expecting some news in one for or another by the end of the month I think
Sorry for taking so long to reply to your post my friend well youve pushed all the right buttons and I think you will win your case but there are many who are in the rock and a hard place it happened to me in 2005 in a quarry in Nortumberland I was in a 50tn Artic Dumptruck and A D11 Dozer was pushing a boulder the size of a house,d I was being loaded and was watching the guy loading me so had no idea what was about to occur ,, The D11 operator was blindsided by the massive boulder so he thought he was about to push the rock over into the tip ,well I felt the thud and turned to see the nemesis about to deal me out of the game of life, and beieve it or not the big Volvo Loaded with 45 tons of rock began to slide on the hard clay so not only was he pushing his own boulder, he was also pushing mine as well,, I jumped out a got his attention with well known signals,, and he stopped,, SORRY I just thought you would like to know where the saying ROCK and a Hardplace came from.
GOOD LUCK MY COMPADRE FED
hi just readung your post havw you checked your mortgage for payment protection or insurance that covers payments such as life insurance
pd is recognised ny most morgage providers as a major dsease and most life policys will pay off your morgage
