Hi Leigh, hope your keeping well. Just got good news today regarding my PIP and decided to to share on here. Since I won my PIP Tribunal in October 2022, I have been receiving PIP until March 2024 when I had to Renew my claim for PIP, since this date I received zero, after sending in all papers along with the PIP questionnaire, I received a message with a link to a site to clarify my health details by answering questions by a AI system, which was very repetitive. Today my lovely wife phoned me from work to say she received a message on her phone saying "We have awarded you PIP. We have sent you a decision letter explaining the award. Please allow two weeks to receive this." When my wife called me on her break to say she has some very good news for me, I couldn't imagine it was regarding my PIP claim, as I thought I would have received a letter first, but since my wife used her phone number for all PIP updates instead of mine as she is acting on my behalf, I couldn't believe the good news, not just that I have been awarded PIP, but that I didn't have to go for a face-to-face or phone assessment like the last time. I don't know if I will be awarded the standard rate for both components as previously, or the enhanced rate, either way this is a huge victory and relieve for both me and my wife, as we share this torture that the DWP put us through. I just had to share this with others to show there is always hope however small. Now my wife and I can celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary in October of this year with fewer worries regarding the DWP. I do hope that my news can give other claimants who are applying for PIP, weather its a new claim or a renewal, that hope is always there however small. I wish the best of luck for those claiming PIP or similar benefits. Thanks Leigh for this great channel that helps us all who are in the web of the DWP. Your keen followers Colin & Luciana.

I'm also in England with autism, be my friend 😊

THAT MICCCCC

Please anyone applying take note that Age Concern (if over 60) will help with the form. I had a lovely woman come to my house and fill in the form for me and then she posted it off. I had a good interview 3 weeks later and then 2 weeks after that i won standard everyday tasks and enhanced mobility. I am so lucky as it was really painless and Age Concern were brilliant.

Do you need to pay advocates?

Yes I help people get their pip awards. I am myself sick and was awarded pip 9 days after the assessment. All the people I help get awarded pip. You simply have to understand the system.

Your video is so helpful as I have a assessment on 30th April 2023. I resignate so much with your story.

This country exists to take tax from us not give us anything. Scumbags are DWP

I have just gotten my Tribunal appeal decision, i was given 11 points for daily living and 18 points for mobility the Judge back dated it five years. I am glad that it is over for now.

did you know that you can do this tribunal by video and you can also ask your representative to attend on your behalf? As these are allowable reasonable adjustments, maybe you can combine both but if you do not ask you will not get, so i would do a video or ask someone to speak on my behalf, as it is a court process and people have lawyers and when people go to court and the lawyer talks to the court, so same idea get an advocate to talk on your behalf, remove nerves and stress in your life

hi i started my pip claim in november 2023 as i have autisum for my whole life but i did pip bc i dont a assesment to confirm if i acctually do have autisum i had to meet 5 grades if i got 4 im not but i got all 5 i had to waited until 28th november to sent my form as i was waiting for the autisum letter to confirm for proof that i am i sent it in and i had a phone call on feb 1st 9am it took 1 hour as i have problem with learning socialising with others metting people problem traveling going out also Anxiety they said you will get a letter take up to 6 weeks to see if i got it FROM your experience do you thibk i got it the person on phone was nice but first time i done it

Thank you for this review - it's really appreciated! (Hannnah, from Stickman Communications)

It's controversial because it shows the link between austism and biological roots of gender?

It is good to stay healthy I hope you're doing incredible wherever you are!

Well done you ❤❤

Hi im currently waiting for my pip claim to come in ive got acute psychosis mental health its just a nervous wait they said i will know within 8 weeks

Thank you so much for this video, you have explained so much that I have not been able to get elsewhere, such as getting an advocate and tips on how to answer questions that truly reflect the effects of doing an activity. You are most certainly awesome.

i have arthritis in both knees and one ankle, i suffer with apnea and sleep with a cpap, i suffer pstd after i found my mum on the floor shortly before she passed away. i am 52 years old and have never been unemployed or claimed any benefits in my life. im getting hammered by the costs of taxis home (as im in agony by then) from work and the more expensive shoes and socks i need to support with my pain i suffer flashbacks of the image of my mum being lay there and i blame myself for not being there. i am constantly exhausted from lack of sleep and my life is an endless circle of work fighting fatigue and suffering panic attacks. i sleep on a mattress on the floor as the machine im on keeps my partner up at night. i scored 4 points and am now awaiting my appeal. Pip would change everything as i could reduce my working hours, get a camp bed and a safer way to cook, i can use the time i gain to exercise more and seek therapy i don't expect i will win however as the system isnt fair

I'm sorry to hear about your accident , I hope that you have recovered & that your feeling better .

Winning page! I am entertained you are an entertainer! I can see your passion its abundant! Very explosive channel. Here is my help help! I'll leave the door on the latch if you ever comeback?

Appeals are just as bad, my missus has been through the appeals tribunal process twice over 5 years and two claims both refused outright by the DWP and the silent assassins in the tribunal. Both times her representative not allowed to speak on her behalf even though she struggles to communicate She's autistic, has NF and various other mental and physical health diagnoses. Once the the tribunal says no there's naff all you can do. She's now suicidal.

Hi, I am having tribunal in March this year. I am just wondering, when they asked you the questions are they going to ask you what is the evidence for whatever you’re saying or are they looking for it? I believe mine are linked in one of the forms from the mandatory reconsideration but I’m just scared I won’t be able to concentrate on everything as I get very anxious and I have different reports from different specialist that maybe repeat the same information about how my disability affects me

I've been filling out a PIP application for depression and anxiety recently and I'm absolutely dreading the assessment.

It was lovely to win my very difficult and emotional tribunal back in late October. When I finally got the backdated PIiP in my account on the 28th of December that the DWP owed me, it was lovely and came at a great time to finish one year and start a new one financially better off which made Christmas and the new year for both my lovely wife Luciana. Receiving around £7800, made me have a little part for once. Also my wife and I applied for UC which we will get around £400 a month that will help towards the rent and bills, taking the strain of my wife needing to pay for all. Good luck to all who maybe facing a review or Tribunal to get what is rightly theirs. The best of luck to everybody this year, 2023.

Good luck getting disability in Australia in 2010 64 % of cases were approved and in 2021 25% were only approved!

Thank God for Universal Credit.!!!

I get DLA and I have been in receipt of pip for ten years, I am not going to list my illnesses, let’s just say they are life changing. My partner died last year and before he dies he told me to always take my brace of my knee and make sure that they can see my leg deformity, as soon as I did this there were literally no questions asked I am now on long term I suppose I get to my retirement. I will always wear the leg brace but I will take it off if I have to get a review. I must admit that a cleaner and home shopping wouldn’t be top of my list. I clean and shop myself and have full mobility payment. This is the difference between people, some people still try, my daughter also has invisible disabilities plus life limiting illness. This is why people are so put through hoops!

We're still waiting for my 16 yr old daughters PIP tribunal date. It's been months. I hope they haven't forgotten her. They have only given her 2 points for the social thing with her Autism. She can't use buses, but because I made the mistake of saying when she was first diagnosed autistic in 2019 that she could use the train if I literally put her on it & she got off & back on at the same place & I met her this end, they didn't give her any points for that. If a train had been cancelled or changed platform, she would have been stuffed! She was also turned down at her Work capability appointment recently for limited working. She works part time & can't cope with working full time. But they don't believe that. Was hoping she would at least be able to get some Universal credit top up. It's not her fault she can't work full time. Whenever she has tried she leaves after a day as it's too much for her & she ended up on antidepressants & signed off work again. But they will push her back into full time work at this rate because she wants a better income, then the cycle will continue I just know it. How long do they make you wait for the PIP tribunal? x

Be careful when dealing with any government office .be well prepared it's a game of nerves to prepare .they can be ruthless

The welfare rights never turned up

Bunch dead beats waiting free shit take care of your damn self

I was in a kangeroo court and denied my benefit despite having a heart attack

I have applied for this (PIP), I am badly covid vaccine injured and not able to work at all now - I have been put on LCWRA (Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity) in addition to UC, and I've been advised to apply for PIP. I applied in September 2022. Am I expecting a long delay do you think? I understand its changed.

Top tip. If someone is not helpful when your asking for advice ask for somebody else

You are an inspiration🙏

It doesn’t matter how many appeals they will fail you anyway like me with major spine problems and a hole in my back and I’m housebound to

I'm so glad to hear you managed to win your tribunal - I have a work capability assessment coming up on the 20th and I'm bricking it, even though it's being done over the phone.

I want to ask if the tribunal made any recommendations to the DWP about when your award needs to be reviewed. I had my first claim awarded after MR. At the second review, a couple of years later, the case was due to go to Tribunal. I had a date for tribunal but DWP phoned the day before and said they would reinstate, and backdate, my award. I accepted although I had a choice to go to tribunal anyway. I wonder if there was something I missed about the powers of tribunal that might have helped. I'm partly paralysed from a spinal injury. There's no way my condition can improve, yet DWP continue to review and assess me every couple of years. This seems harrassing and unnecessary. I've just completed yet another review form. I've no idea if DWP will carry on messing me about. So, I wondered if you thought the tribunal was a better process to go through. It sounds much more transparent.

Hello what happens after the form then what things do there do after that what equipment do there use then what kind of stuff do there do in the assessment then

Thank you for sharing your experience, it helped me a lot. Today as in 31,October, I attended my PIP Tribunal which was pure torture because my health condition is Social Anxiety Disorder, so facing the Judge, Doctor and two other people, one by my side who was from the DWP, put me in panic, leaving me crying and shaking almost all of the time that seemed to have no end with one question after another. When the tribunal was over I was asked to wait in another room for a few minutes before being called back in and told I have won the appeal, which for both myself and my lovely wife who was my representative, left us both feeling a great relief with much emotion. Was explained that I would receive the standard rate for both Mobility and Daily living, back dated from March 2021 and would continue to receive until March 2024 before being assessed again. Still can’t believe I won, not just receiving what am entitled too, but also beating the DWP.

well done am going to a tribunal as well waiting for a date

Its 10 months since I first applied for pip. I'm at the last stage now. I got 0 points the first time and 2 points on the reconsideration. Now waiting on the tribunal. After a bone marrow transplant and many years of building my immune system, I finally got back to work. 1 year later covid happened and I've been in isolation since. Confined to a 1 bed flat and completely on my own. Too scared and anxious to socialise out of fear of catching covid. After everything I've been through I have never been as depressed and anxious as I am waiting on this tribunal. I really doubt I will get it and kinda just wish I never bothered.

Hey thank you for sharing this information. I want to take DWP to tribunal. How can I start the process what is court called? Do i need lawyer? Thank you

Just a couple of days after watching this and ive just had a little cry cuz head so bad. Hurts eyes nose, connects to stomach just awful

Random noise makes me ill, so children jumping out on me, sqealing being jumpy, i get ill straight away ptsd or something. Ive started to have christmas day largely on my own, its a longish day but surprisingly very normal without all the hype

Ive read that frappe with the small ice throughout can help. It does give you throat freeze so might affect veins close them up a bit. The ear piercing helps, but takes months to heal then heals suddenly. After piercing u still get them but they dont usually fully develop thank god.

Thank you

I recived my tribural date but can dwp change the outcome if they recive more information about my illness

It's a shame but I hope everything goes well for you.

While im sad this is the last video for now, your reasons are very understandable, your health and real life are for more important. I hope things go well and happily for you! Understandable as well given how hard a youtube video is to do as well.
