PIP FOLLOW UP. “You use a stick but that shows you have good grip…”

I’m posting this because this isn’t just about me. It’s a matter of justice for all of us who have fluctuating but progressive and degenerative neurological conditions.

Madness. I have yet to tackle this madness ....

The company that runs assessment PIP for the government get paid more the more times they turn down PIP to people.
Thus one reason why there is an appeal win rate of 78% with the DWP for many results.

@QALibrary is correct, it will only be when government penalises companies for irrational decisions that the system will get some balance, they even fail MND sufferers! (Diagnosed at 53 4 years ago and I too am scared to apply)

I’m only raising what small voice I have to fight for change. It’s a diabolical situation

Thousands of people have fought this battle you are facing, the government want you to get so down and give up, it doesn't matter what medical evidence you have, it doesn't matter how much medication you take, they don't care, it's about how your condition effects you, basically if you can breathe on your own you ain't getting nothing mate, probably if you are awarded pip no doubt will be vouchers, I believe medical evidence should be sufficient without putting decent people through this bloody torture, this government sees the sick as a burden we are considered scrounging lying scum, I have been through all the same type of stuff regarding pip, took about 4 years of fighting, good luck matey.

Being an Aussie I have no idea what pip is

Personal Independence Payment is a benefit from the Department for Work and Pensions. It helps with some of the extra costs you have to pay when you have long term ill health or a disability. Personal Independence Payment is sometimes known as PIP.
