  • Sorry this video is so long!
    This is a run through of my assessment with the DWP for PIP (personal independence payment)
    My eligibility was up for renewal, so I had a call with the assessor.

    Thanks for posting! 🙏. What irritates me is, if a person has a non changing condition, why do they have to keep being put through the mill by reapplying time after time. It’s an all consuming thing just answering all the questions and the anticipation of waiting while having an all consuming disability to deal with 24/7. It’s kind of soul destroying. I wish they would just leave people with non changing conditions alone to deal with the challenges a disability creates.

      I've made a video on the very subject after this comment that you wrote.
      It's extremely stressful.

      Here here. I was on pip but being in Glasgow I was changed to the Scottish social security. My review form went missing in the post and because there is no change its being renewed without the intrusive assessment. I have mental health issues psoriatic arthritis degenerative disc disease osteoarthritis nerve damage and nerve impingement due to herniated disc’s surgery isn’t an option for me.

    Thanks for this, happy I have come across your video, they have had my review form since November and I'm still waiting to hear, everyday I'm stressing about this, I'm to avoid stress as it triggers of my epilepsy I also have motor sensory neuropathy and cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and even with all that I don't trust them, I won my original claim through a tribunal

      Best of luck with the renewal. I'd say that it's easier to get through than the first application.
      Hope it goes well for you, let me know how you get on.

    So so nervous, got my first ever PIP assessment tomorrow, worrying so much about how limiting my form was filled in. Being my first ever one, But now I’m ready for the assessment due to finding help online I have so much more detailed descriptions of my condition than I outlined on the form and I don’t want them to mark me down for that. 😥

      Thank you for replying. I struggled on one question in the form.
      I didn’t know how to answer to the question “following a journey” on pip form.
      Can you explain this part please 🙏
      So that I have a better understanding.
      And can I please ask you aswell, when renewing the application do you have to explain again everything how the disease affects you like first time applying or just explaining if there are any changes?
      For myself, I have turned down biologics because I’m terrified of the side effects like heart failure, liver failure, skin cancer etc… and other possible risks.
      I don’t want to add more health problems in long term.
      Thank you very much for all your videos, very helpful.

    Happy New Year! I have AS and follow you and from the United States. Is Pip the similar to Social security disability? The probelm with any assistance program from goverment or former employer is there is so much fraud and it hurts the people like us. I have had AS for over 30 years and have a very severe case of it. If disease is caught early and with advancement in medicatiins and exersise is key. God Bless you

      Hi there 👋
      Yes, PIP is the equivalent. It's paid for by the Government, but yes, there are people that take advantage of it.

      My GP gave me a med called celexiocob no omeprazole and these meds can cause stomach ulcers and bleeding my GP isnt really supporting me much and i even think they think I'm faking my health issues! The chronic fatigue syndrome was diagnosed by a rhumatologist I have to see a neurologist in April as I also have seizures too 😐 it excerbiates my deoression n anxiety just by being treated like a liar and i often think about suicide as I got 0 support system
