Omg yes I do!! Even my family today they are going for a meal and I just can't go. I feel so much more comfortable staying with my dog. My anxiety is just to chronic. I needed to hear this. Your channel is so valuable 🙏🏻
I discovered in lockdown that i felt so much better for not having the pressure to see people. The only thing about the phone assessment is having the equipment to do a 3 way, so your buddy can interject. I was described as cheerful on the phone. ( she also talked about my "bowls" being my major issue. I asked her if shed even bothered to read my paperwork, as she clearly didn't have a clue. At my second assessment, the woman said yes, she'd read it( my first question to her), and she referred to my answers throughout. I realise you have to paint a picture for them. I fear the only "health professionals " left doing these assessments are completely failed in their own careers, or they wouldn't even consider it.
Found your channel by chance last night...so grateful someone actually understands what is like to be disabled and have to deal with the stress of dealing with the illness and having to have to claim pip...most people have no idea.
Is this a record, my daughter had a telephone assessment on Monday and got a text today Friday PIP is being awarded. Charlie Thank You, you video helped how to claim PIP. I made my daughter watch it because if I explained to her the process it would have gone in one ear and out of the other. We all know son's and daughters don't listen to their parents. Thank you Charlie your video helped. It was a claim for mental health. I filled in the form.
Drives my daughters mad that I'm always tired and dishevelled looking. Glad you said on your vid here - that we can't muster dressing up when unable to breathe or move around freely. There is no magic pill to take the fatigue and pain away.
Thank you Charlie , I live alone to so can relate to living in isolation , Much love and respect for all you do for the people who really need the care, Respect ❤
Thanks for this, I am just completing that part of the form. I dread meeting people face to face because I have a facial deformity and my eye has been pushed up, I am very self concious about it and feel that people are judging me all the time. I get very anxious so do my best to avoid meeting new people. If something kicked off whilst I am out and about then I too would not be able to make a quick escape due to my vision loss and I would be afraid of getting lost.
Just like to thank you for the advice. had phone re-assessment on 10th Jan. got text this wednesday saying they made a decision. ive been getting pip at low rate for years. Always done my own applications. I always used language like sometimes, and yes i can but... After watching one of your videos i didnt do that. After reading my decision and how they gathered my evidence from my GP and consultants they made a decision based on that and was worded as such. I got enhanced for the first time since my enhanced ended in 2008. I was shocked at this as during the phone call I was sure she didn't know wtf she was doing. I've been in deep decline over the years. I have since moving back home a year ago not been able to walk and im now back in a wheelchair when i go out.
Have you heard of DAWDLE? This is an assessment technique, and I got a PIP trainer manual regarding telephone interviews and DAWDLE was in it. I screenshotted the quick reference page the assessors use. Please could I send this to you. I had to go to the tribunal stage for PIP. I think this would help others along with your priceless advice. I've got a review next year, so my confidence is a bit shaky, but your channel is helping me prepare.
most of us feel cheated by the system! thank you for helping others who need it! Sadly I cant ask for phone assessment as I have moderate to severe hearing loss and tinnitus
I'm a shy person when around people I don't know, I even have trouble with people who I do know, like family and friends... I don't have a filter, so can be fine one minute and the next I can be loud, can be a bit insulting, joke around and also be terribly rude, I have also been handsy (like slap or pinch a bottom, which involved sacking from work, the police and then a conviction); a few of my friends are now former friends, cos they no longer want me around.
Unfortunately for me, I do not have a phone due to both inability to use one and franckly no use to put one too normally. I am going to buy a camcorder for my next face to face assesment. Thanks again for you efforts Charlie.
I mentioned that in my form Charlie that I wanted either a telephone assessment or a home visit assessment due to my health issues etc and I ended up getting a telephone assessment.
Thank you Charlie I'm away to claim pip for the 3rd time I was on dla. Then put to pip took them to tribunal won.6 months later stopped new claim not allowed then covid hit courts shut so I gave up. Its wrong that it's a nurse not a Dr aseces you. But hey ho. I hope you are doing OK? Lots of love from aberdeen.xx
Thank you, might give it a go, I can't be having my Mum helping me with bills anymore, I'm on the work related activity group of esa and they make me go in to the job centre occasionally, I just can't handle it, I find it hard to get out of bed and am in dire straits
I'm so glad that my pip assessment is on the telephone having bad anxiety and depression would make me worse and my other health issues. I've applied for pip a few times different years and never got it I've also had all three ways too in the past face to face assessment,home assessment and telephone assessment.I've had a telephone assessment that was awful I'm not racist as I've got mixed race people in my family but the last assessor I had was awful she made me cry in 😢,the lady couldn't speak much English she must of been having a bad morning or something because she shouted down the phone to me and she was so abrupt. I ended up saying to her excuse me but please don't speak to me like this. I am a person at the end of the day. This was the worst one I've ever had omg!!. I got off the phone in tears,a total wreck cuz of this lady. I'm hoping that this one next month will be better and that I get pip like I deserve to get xx
Hi Charlie, I know this is an old video but, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you have lost your home, I know how devastating it is. I also want to say no body cares how you are looking, we fully understand your daily struggles x
I’ve had fatigue a few times a week over a number of years. But over the last month it’s morphed into being daily. And as I result I’m becoming tetchy and irritable. And as such lacking the energy in the first place I don’t won’t to talk or let alone visit folks.
I have spine damage and in pain 24/7, ibs and a 100mm lump in my kidney. As soon as i eat i need the toilet straight away. Then during the day i can be on and off the toilet all day. I cannot leave the house unless i know exactly where the toilets are and exactly how to get to them in a hurry. Being like this for so long i no longer want to go out.
It’s insane that one off exceptions aren’t allowed for like attending the assessment alone but needing someone with you to go places etc, like what if you don’t have anyone??
Hi. I'm just wondering what you think. I missed the mobility enhanced rate by 1 point. My asthma has gotten worse, which means I can not walk as far as I can. Is it worth trying to get a reassessment to get a higher rate for mobility. Thanks in advance.
Yes it is. You can call PIP because any health changes they say to report. You have got worse so you call them up and tell them how you have got worse and include all the new things it makes u struggle doing and some things your not able to do at all. Also if others have to help you do things
@lawrencebaker2797 If you need any help and Charlie can't answer then feel free to ask me in this same thread. Always explain everything to the max. They are clueless medically so write it like ur answering a kid who keeps asking why after every answer and u have to answer them every time. Aim to fill in as much of the application as possible even if you ramble!
I will lose my temper, at the Tribunal if i feel i am being intimidated, i at this point will get teary. Do i naturally show this ir do i keep it zipped?
I enjoy watching your channel and I agree in what you said if your just trying to claim money without anything been wrong with you then get off the channel.
Whats happened to u charlie Hope ur ok Not seeing any thing new ,i know u have bad times and i understand ur not allways up to sharing vids , But we do miss seeinh you
Hello Charlie. I have just discovered your videos. You are so articulate and clear about the PIP system. I've tried several times but failed every time by a point or two, even at Tribunal. I don't cope well with the process and don't present very well but have no-one to support me. I am currently waiting for my PIP tribunal which should be imminent. You said you help other people, so is there any way of contacting you to ask for more details please?
I get anxious as me/Cfs pain means I’m always letting people down I might be too unwell majority of time to get there meaning Sven longer wait thus causing stress and even longer crash time ..ps thanks for these videos x
Thank you for so much helpful information, especially when you get so much pain. Im very new to PIP at 41 years old, despite many sufferings my whole life. They awarded me minimum on first application, probably because I was on my way out of the world the last couple years. I should be on the higher, but my support worker talked me out of mandatory reconsideration telling me they would just cancel the PIP altogether instead. I've been very confused about it, and its now so long past the window to do this (PIP runs out on October this year) that after months and months repeatedly trying to come back to the mandatory application, that I can't see how they would accept it at all now. Is it true they just cancel PIP for submitting reconsideration?
Thanks Charlie, watched several of videos and most recently completed a change in circumstances form and whilst coping though complex health conditions, the thought of completing the form contributed to hypertension getting worse and anxious upon the decision and you hel take me through so Huges thanks. I have put it off for past year whilst suffering, but never-less I called last week and I have now been awarded enhance for car+mobility, not seen letter as yet. So one question - my actual renewal date for PIP is due this December and the new award goes to that date as its simply been added on to previous claim. So in this instense, I wanted to get a modified vehicle and sell my current car which is not fit for purpose, however you need 12 months of benefit to be eligible, can you advise what I can do in this instance? Also my claim periods are normally 4 years.
I got a letter off doctor saying I would be in great distress going to this place ,as they advised me to.still had to go go or they would stop my benefit,I was in bed 4 days after visit. 10 mins in an office cannot determined you life,
Cld u please be able to help with this question Charlie, if deterioration has got really bad and u have no option but to ring Pip about it,do they stop your money while they check to see if u are entitled to higher rate?brother got really bad ,but too frightened to ring because cant afford to do without money.
No they don't stop ur money when ur information them of new circumstances change. They keep it going and increase it when the change comes into place. Make sure when you tell them that you say you have all of the previous problems and then these new ones ontop. Just incase they try use it asa replacement instead of addition to worse circumstances change
Does the duration of illness matter ? Let’s say someone has been unable to work due to illnesses like back pain for 3 months, are they eligible for pip?
Hi Charlie Ive received a txt saying I have video assessment in 2 weeks for pop review can I request phone assessment? I am extremely worried and anxious many thanx
I have a phone I never use it (I hate being put on the spot and my arm cramps) I realise they don't care and insist you talk to them so my question to anyone who knows how do I record and phone call? I never remember anything 5 mins later and of course I want it to compare to the paperwork they send TIA for any help. Mine is an android by the way.
Ask them if they can call you from a phone that record calls. Their main lines can record calls. Using memory issues is a legitimate reason and you can even record GP calls that way. Otherwise it depends if your using a landline or a mobile. A mobile is much much easier if android. Cube acr app let's you record calls and save them to your phone
@JoolsVoiceOver if its placed your calling like police or utilities you can specifically request a "subject access request or freedom of information act" and request the call recordings. If they refuse you can contact the ICO. Information commissioners office. Because any data about you you are legally allowed to request. You can even request a copy of your fingerprints from the police if they have them on record of you. Any problems feel free to drop me another reply. I'm the same for not trusting them...... I know they can't be for a fact but not something I can openly say about. Always log everything my friend and with forms take pictures of each page etc
@@morpheus2490 Thank you so much. I am lucky that I found a way for them to deal with my by email for the most part so all is on the laptop. I wish I could remember how I did it for others here as it is so much easier. I will have a look at saved emails and see if I can find it ty x
@JoolsVoiceOver your very lucky they let you send it by email. ATOS staff normally are lazy and don't want give out their work emails. Even I had push myself to post it even though that is disability discrimination. But I didn't want over anger them
She's struggling with a massive case load so she might find it a bit hard. If you want to ask me and I will help. I have high rate care and mobility for PIP. Just reply here or send me a method of contact for you and I will gladly help
Hope you see this in time, I have complex ptsd and cluster headache attacks, i have my review next weds and they want to do it on video, can i request this be changed to phone instead of video? i have big issues with being around people and paranoia regarding cameras, I know its going to be a nightmare if i have to go on camera am dreading it
I'm exactly the same as you and have agrophobia with OCD. Yes they can do phonecall interview. You just need to call them up and request it by phone and not video call and explain the same reasons why. Otherwise its disability discrimination. They have to do their best to meet your needs if possible and a phone call is just as easy as them doing a video call.
My ibs cripples me i wont even go out my house because of incontinunce or go to over peoples house because of this same issue i struggle to even mix with my own familly cause my condition makes me anxious around them
Have you tried a diet change? Calcium carbonate/calcium supplements can help neutralise/reduce concentration of the acid in your stomach so less buildup/production of gas. But be careful how much you take because too much at once could cause stomach cramps and possible constipation if too much calcium is taken too. If you should double check things I've said and when you confirm it then give it a try and see if it helps. Feel free to message here and ask anything else you need help with
@Fod_Foods it seems like something to lessen the acid strength and help stabilise it and is first line thing to try. So yea a goof calcium carbonate antacid or some other medications can help reduce stomach sensitivity like omeprazol or metoclopamide. To help stop cramping or IBS you can also buy over the counter buscopan. I use buscopan myself. Your GP should be able help with that.
hi have had a fit for work assessment for universal credit said not fit to work anxiety and depression would they take that assessment into account if i applied for pip, thank you
Hi, I have a few issues, one being anxiety, I received a call a few days ago where I was asked if I had someone with me while doing a pip referral due to the fact I get anxious on the phone, I said if I know I'm receiving the call I'm able to take the call, I told her I have pip until December this year and she advised me it was to make sure your money continues, I received a letter today with date and time. I just need reassurance that it's not to take away my pip allowance, and any advice as I can't remember how I've worded the last application as they tend to catch people out on this, please help 😢
What happens if you do a PIP claim and you need to move before a decision in made. An interview over the phone has been done. I wonder if they do a new interview, you have to do a new claim, or the claim will be processed as usual. Any advice would help. Thanks. I am asking for my daughter.
They will just change your address and keep same claim going. Just make sure you/daughter calls up the PIP helpline and change the address with them. If your daughter is on benefits she has to make separate call because the PIP database is not linked up to other benefits database with the job centre
Omg yes I do!! Even my family today they are going for a meal and I just can't go. I feel so much more comfortable staying with my dog. My anxiety is just to chronic. I needed to hear this. Your channel is so valuable 🙏🏻

@@morpheus2490 Thanks for the reply will get on to them today, Hopefully they will change it
My ibs cripples me i wont even go out my house because of incontinunce or go to over peoples house because of this same issue i struggle to even mix with my own familly cause my condition makes me anxious around them
Have you tried a diet change? Calcium carbonate/calcium supplements can help neutralise/reduce concentration of the acid in your stomach so less buildup/production of gas. But be careful how much you take because too much at once could cause stomach cramps and possible constipation if too much calcium is taken too. If you should double check things I've said and when you confirm it then give it a try and see if it helps. Feel free to message here and ask anything else you need help with
@@morpheus2490 i have not however my stomach is severely sensitive it seems cant even cut out fodmaps dairy and gluten and im still having problems
@Fod_Foods it seems like something to lessen the acid strength and help stabilise it and is first line thing to try. So yea a goof calcium carbonate antacid or some other medications can help reduce stomach sensitivity like omeprazol or metoclopamide. To help stop cramping or IBS you can also buy over the counter buscopan. I use buscopan myself. Your GP should be able help with that.
@@morpheus2490 thankyou buscopan does nothing for me its like a tictac litterally no effect
@@morpheus2490 still hoping they will find real reasoning one day ibs is just an umbrella term for what specialists cannot workout
hi have had a fit for work assessment for universal credit said not fit to work anxiety and depression would they take that assessment into account if i applied for pip, thank you
thank you just loathe the idea of having to sit through such a long interview again appreciate your advice thank you take care@@Garuthius
Hi, I have a few issues, one being anxiety, I received a call a few days ago where I was asked if I had someone with me while doing a pip referral due to the fact I get anxious on the phone, I said if I know I'm receiving the call I'm able to take the call, I told her I have pip until December this year and she advised me it was to make sure your money continues, I received a letter today with date and time. I just need reassurance that it's not to take away my pip allowance, and any advice as I can't remember how I've worded the last application as they tend to catch people out on this, please help 😢
What happens if you do a PIP claim and you need to move before a decision in made. An interview over the phone has been done. I wonder if they do a new interview, you have to do a new claim, or the claim will be processed as usual. Any advice would help. Thanks. I am asking for my daughter.
They will just change your address and keep same claim going. Just make sure you/daughter calls up the PIP helpline and change the address with them. If your daughter is on benefits she has to make separate call because the PIP database is not linked up to other benefits database with the job centre
@@morpheus2490 Thank you very much.
❤❤❤
Brilliant so glad l found you👌
