    I’m not going through that assessment again. It’s actually quite abusive and makes me worse, mentally and then physically, for months. Next time they call me in I will be telling them to stick it where the sun don’t shine. Seriously, I’d rather go for a long walk and fall asleep for ever under a lovely hedge, where I can hear the birds singing.

      Yeah that’s exactly right Poppie, first I’ll tell you a very little story okay, ever since my daughter was born I would call her poppet okay but then one day when she was about 6 years old, haha 😂 I’m laughing to myself right now has I’m typing but anyway one day she thought a little bit embarrassed by it cause I would call poppet everywhere, in front of her school friends please don’t get me wrong Poppie but, I swear to you that I wasn’t and I wouldn’t call my daughter anything to embarrass her I didn’t understand through a 6 year old little girls mind when she is with her friends in my mind I was just giving her affection really so anyway it was the school holidays for the summer cause she was out the back with playing with her friends and I poppet you come here a minute sweetheart so, she came running right up to me and sort of whispered in my ear and she said, dad don’t you think that I’m a little bit to old to be called poppet and then instantly she turned around and ran towards her friends and I shouted okay then pop, and do you know what Poppie she’s had that name pop ever since and believe it or not Poppie but, tomorrow on Thursday she’s gonna 30 years old and I’ve never called by her proper name Deena, it’s been ever since she was 6 years old and if I reached to be over a hundred years old she’ll still be my pop I just thought of my daughter when I saw your name so thanks for giving me the thought okay Poppie but, anyway when Stu started talking he said about not having to be assessed for 10 years, well I’m still on DLA for some reason Poppie but I haven’t been assessed for 10 myself so, I’m due to be assessed and the last time that I was assessed and all the doctor put down on the assessment form was, indefinitely and that was it, I honestly thought that was for life but it bloody isn’t it’s exactly the same as to what the bastards was doing on DLA only they have changed their clothes and used just a few different words that’s all, that is something else that I’m expecting is a PIP form and I don’t know know how to fill forms especially these form all they is ask the same bloody about 4 times and they are exactly the same question just worded differently just to and catch you on a lie or genuine mistake so that they can pounce on you and stop sending you as much money as possible, they don’t know to crawl into I’ve got a disability that’s definitely not gonna get better, back in 1997 I was working on a site in Cardiff South Wales, I’m in England but we just traveled every day doing block-pavin and I ripped my sciatic nerve in my right hip so gradually my leg is just dying I’m sorry but I don’t know any other way of saying it really , so yeah like I said seeing your name and also the really good comment I read and I thought brilliant then I looked at your and of pop straight, I was sort of friends with a certain woman and I didn’t know her very long but I told her that one day maybe her to see pop and her 3 beautiful boys my grandsons so anyway she kept asking me when am I gonna take her but she would say, when am I gonna meet pop and the first time she called her pop I should’ve stepped in straight away and told her not to call my daughter pop to you her name is Deena and also I thought if pop ever heard you call her pop oh my god she would be steaming she would definitely take offence by it and probably give you a right little earache but anyway I stopped seeing her because she had so much anger inside she would just turn on a bloody sixpence so I didn’t want her around pop and the boys Poppie anyway you have a great name and by looking at your comment you ain’t stupid your bang on it okay, stay safe and stay strong Poppie best wishes to you from Stevie boy in England.

    If MPs are outside of London they can claim the cost of rent on a home either in London or their constituency.
    As part of this rental budget, they can claim an extra £5,500 per child under 18, up to three children.
    Anyone claiming benefits can only get financial help for the first two children.

      I'm sorry if I pi** people off but I always thought it is the parent's responsibility to bring up their own children NOT the taxpayers. If one cannot afford to raise kids then maybe they shouldn't have any. It is not fair on the children if their parents struggle to feed and clothe them. I think the term "personal responsibility" no longer exists.

    Two PIP renewals, my first PIP awarded me standard daily after tribunal. My first review awarded me nothing, my Mandatory reconsideration got me Standard for both components, and my final review failed me again, my reconsideration got me higher rate daily, and standard mobility. My condition will get progressively get worse, but, I doubt very much I would get higher rate mobility, unless they change the questions. A helpful video, my review is in 2025. If Labour win the next election, things might well change. ESA and PIP where Labour ideas implemented by the conservatives, so they might not change them?

      life is not as perfect, even if someone willingly just wants one/two children, they can end up with more than that, does that mean the third child gets less privileges and is treated and supported less than the other two ? and/or does that mean abortion rates are going to be overwhelmingly high from now on ?.limiting how much children someone can have is a controlling behaviour which is unethical and immoral by the government to carry out, what next force a 2 child policy per parents/guardians ?, rather better education, quality of life should be funded to better aware the people.
      Spending money in foreign affairs, foreign wars, unneeded lockdowns and rise of fake inflation through what ever "excuse" to fund the elites even more and make average people even poorer that is the real problem that needs to be dealt with, which will make room for so much money for the population. To do so the elites controlling the banking system at the top need to be dethroned, which is not going to happen anytime soon.

However, he did go to a state nursery that cost me £37 a week so that I could carry on working to pay for our requirements. There are far too many stay at home parents having numerous children that have never worked or plan to work for a living. Helping families has been taken for granted, don't take for granted. Some British families live within their means, many don't that come in from abroad. We have to stop the mass immigration that is killing our country, infrastructure and financial security. In my day, a single parent mother was rare, now it not and we can't afford it when the country is trillions in debt.

      You might or may not. To me it all depends on the assessor. When i sent my Review Form in last year, i waited at least 3 months for a reply. I kept thinking that i would have to go through another assessment or even another tribunal. So you can imagine my surprise when i received a phonecall from a decision maker who said, I'm not going to reduce your pip, or stop your pip, this call is for me to decide whether i need to increase your award or keep it the same. The man was lovely, and after ten minutes said, you will get a decision letter in about 2 weeks time. I got the letter after 5 days. A increase of my mobility rate. Going from standard to enhanced. Ten year light touch award. I hope you get it. I must admit it was a big relief.

When my results came through My Consultant informed me that i'd had a Stroke and the area in my Brain where it affected, is the reason for my poor balance, therefore causing Mobility problem. Am i to contact PIP and inform them, would it help to increase a Higher Rate please? Stuart McGoo

      They changed the mobility questions slightly on the PIP forms and it reads like you only get enhanced if you are in a wheelchair! So wrong, devastating to me this year with having Multiple Sclerosis and reducing my PIP mobility element because I still manage myself and not in a wheelchair! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️Good luck to you.🤗

    My wife has major mental health and physical disabilities. She has had 7 years without a PIP assessment two years down to Covid being rampant so was given a 2 year extension. We received a new PIP claim form that didn’t want the ins and outs of everything and basically asked were the conditions the same. I said yes all her conditions were the same but she has developed diabetes and high cholesterol which she has to take new tablets for. Was pretty basic form, filled it in and sent itI off and haven’t heard nothing in about six weeks. Forgot to add that the last PIP assessor said that because my wife was only 42 at the time of her PIP claim she couldn’t give her anymore than five years but said she would have given her more if possible and basically threw us out the door. The PIP examination if that’s what you could call it lasted about 10 minutes and my wife never even spoke a word or was touched in anyway.
