Hi everyone, here is a link to my weekly newsletter, I am adding a PIP section due to the increase in questions/feedback, please feel free to check it out if you are interested: charlieanderson.substack.com/ Thanks EVERYONE for watching and commenting! We will WIN! I send this weekly so its quicker to get updates and I chat about my life that week. Hope this helps as well x
Hi Charlie,I posted on here yesterday with the problem that I am having,I,ve got 3 weeks to contest it AGAIN,any advice would be appreciated,if I don't bother pursuing it for the last time ( coz I can't be bothered with an interrogation in front of a judge & Dr etc ) how long would I have to wait before I can apply again ?? Thanks.
Charlie - Apparently some people receive migration letters in error! Who is likely to receive those in error? Plus, apparently some people are able to stay on legacy benefits, if DWP agree it's not in the claimants interest to make them migrate! Can you please do a video of who is likely to be able to stay on legacy benefits please & provide the link to that information, so we all can use as guidance please!?🙏
The sad thing is, the scallies who play the system know full well what to say and they lie as easily as they breathe. It's the nice, honest, genuine people who lose out.
Your absolutely right an ex older sibling decided she didn't want to work...didn't like working Been on benefits for 40 odd years knows exactly what to say..even tells her ferral kids what to say to get benefits then she adds she's their carer to get more money!...she classes the benefits as wages!...she feels she's owed every penny disgusting
@@elainecully7521 Then why dont you go and look up the marking criteria and learn how to answer the questions, build up points and stop being such a silly billy? I work for Age UK, I deal with Pip claims for the elderly on a daily basis, I know how to answer the questions for them and get them into council housing. In 7 years and thousands of claims, Ive never had a claim rejected.
@@Mike--Oxmall I don't need to look up the marking criteria...I work and have work ethics..I was merely commenting on a ferral family that don't silly Billy? Me...nah.
While I appreciate your efforts to help people, I cannot set aside my frustration and anger towards this country's unfit benefits system and the hostile treatment of genuinely disabled people. Thank you for what you do to help.
Hey Jamil, I really do agree with you....I try and see it from both sides, but when I am helping a individual who is in chronic pain, relax as they are having a panic attack....and have not slept for days due to fear of the assessment... Its really hard to be 'understanding' about the process. Thanks so much for commenting Charlie
It's about people with long term illness and disability and the whole process is corrupt. Goggle this mr frustrated. How many people die within three months of being refused pip, that they are legitimately entitled to. Then Google why are the DWP illegally withholding the statistics on how many people are dieing, with the full support of this appalling government. hopefully it'll make you get a sense of just how wicked the system is
Hi Charlie, First I would like to say thank you for all the good you are doing on behalf of us disabled people. I was on D. L. A for a number of years, Low Care, High Mobility, I had 2 tribunals, both because my mobility was lowered to Low. both reversed the decisions. On the second, I was awarded High Mobility Indefinitely. When I was being changed over to P. I. P. I filled the form in, to the best of my knowledge, the question in the Mobility section asking "Can you plan & follow a journey", I answered Yes, because I can red a map & also, I can input an address into a Sat Nav. I lost my mobility high payment, it was put down to Standard, I also get Standard care. I asked for my claim to be looked at again, the award stayed the same. It wasn't until I went to see a man from Citizens Advice, that I was informed that was not what the question meant. He informed me that, it related to, could I think I wanted to go to a place, would I be able to choose the place, then ACTUALLY be able to GO on that journey, would I feel safe going, or EVEN be able to start the journey. I, as I said before, have been to 2 tribunals, I found them very stressful, not because of the people conducting them, but the actual event. That was a few years ago now, is there any way I could have another review.
This is why there has to be someone who is going stand up against this , am appealing for court now it's been 9 months , am going go video cam on April 25th also going have someone being my witness when it comes to appeal , I hope court can make things right because no doubt I deservee it also other people who have killed them selves over pips this is shouldn't been accepted it's mentally draining effecting mental health for worst and soon or later I might go back to prison because of people if I don't get things sort it
We learnt this the hard way, over a year ago we had to do the mandatory reconsideration and then tribunal to win my partner's pip claim, actually going through a change of circumstances now, not heard back yet but fingers crossed
Hi Charlie, I lost the enhanced mobility part of my pip in September I appealed the decision and still lost it because of how I worded things. So since September I’ve been pretty much stuck at home ever since, relying on my children to ferry me around to appointments etc (when they haven’t been cancelled. It’s affected my mental health severely as my independence has gone. Having to try and walk to the shops etc has made my back pain increase significantly. I’m waiting for a new claim form as things have changed and I’m in temporary accommodation because from the point of losing my car, life has changed in many ways. I no longer have my no claims bonus because I had the motability car which has pushed insurance prices up so I couldn’t afford to have my own car if I wanted to without struggling financially. Your videos have given me good insight into how to fill my claim next time. Wish I’d known sooner, thanks Marcus
As a person who went through this process, I had to describe myself in my worst weeks and tell anyone who is disabled to do the same as, some disabilities are not a continuous thing it's you are fine for a few months but then took out of commission for a whole month which financially destabilizes you due to being unable to work and likely will lose your job. So do say you can't do something if that's you on your worst week.
It’s wonderful that people are getting some form of help with this it’s sad it’s not government funded i knew these things and felt like I wasn’t mentally impaired but I have BPD just doing these things can make you question and doubt yourself be blunt and make a snappy decision that’s what I did can I cook or does my disability prevent me and how I usually opt for a microwave meal, when I do try to cook I drop pots and it can be frustrating due to my arthritis and spine pain. They’ll work out from that, no they can’t.
💜 I am tearful just reliving my experiences in the 2 hour exhausting assessment even though the assessor was nice and patient. Wish everyone strength and the positive support they deserve
I was awarded enhnanced enhanced pip recently without sending the form or any evidence back, when i had the assesment phone call i was asked to what my coniditons were as there was no paperwork, i took my time and paid attention to the areas that points are awarded i.e. needing aiding or prompting for various things, 3 weeks later i received a call with the pip award and the back payment of 6 months was in my account withing week, positively surprised
People fail to get pip because they dont want you to have it. The whole interview is to find an excuse to stop you getting it .They arent trying to help people in need.
No- it is squarely the Tories who are to blame, and that has been the case for at least 15 years now. They are actively trying to reduce benefits and even remove the ability to go to a doctor to get a sick note. Labour have not done any of that. This is an inherently political subject- there is no 'not getting political' about it. The fact simply is that the Tories have done so much harm to disabled people over the years- there is no two ways about this.
Crippling injuries do effect long term, despite if you want to work, so why? Do benefits always try to force people to work? I'm trained, being comfortable in a job is good not with injuries or over doing muscles, repetitions and etc.
I did well. Got CFS and NFD did claim got all zeros Then reviewed again all zeros no joy. do i bother going to tribunal. Should i even bother until been to CFS clinic.?
Right just to be clear to start with. I am using that thing on my phone that whereby I speak and it types out the word for me. So I've had my pip claim rejected today. Even though when they ask me questions like. Can you prepare a simple meal? I answered directly. Nothing else a hard somehow. I still got 0 points for it.
I've just been turned down for pip. I have a number of health issues that severely impact my life. Part of the reason is that I wasn't constantly at the docs every five minutes from the way the letter was written. What they ignored is how the assessor used leading questions and rushed through the assessment without giving me time to talk properly. The assessment barely lasted 20 minutes which says something.
Hi, im in a situation where I need to apply for PIP. And yours is the first video I looked up. am I able to speak to you in person please? As in over the phone, I’m from the Uk.
Hi thanks for this, iv had to fight so much for mine, went to a tribunal and they said there's nothing wrong with your heart, when I was waiting for a pulmonary valve replacement, open heart surgery, they made me feel so bad, they took the higher rate mobility off me, and I have a very complex medical history,
I'm so confused by it all. I was awarded standard rate of living 2 years ago and my next assessment is coming up in a couple of weeks. The first time the assesment came back and didn't seem to at all stack up against what I'd told them. My condition is far worse than it was back then and don't know how I should be answering. I can walk 20 metres but there are times in the day where I can't stand. Does it count if I can walk but it's painful and uncomfortable and I'm constantly saying, 'dont worry I'll catch you up'. There are times in the day that when stood I can't apply pressure to my right leg meaning I can't walk at all for a period of time. During the colder months it's excruciating constantly. I'd really appreciate some help if someone is willing to give me a bit of time. In short, as a child I had a degenerative disease which caused the cartilage to form badly in my hip joints, this is now simply classed as arthritis now I'm an adult. It's caused a cam deformity in my right hip and I have impingement giving me reduced mobility and range. I often get shooting pains through my lower back, hip, groin, down my leg, in my knee and strangely all the way down into my big toe, I think I'm trapping nerves but I'm no expert. Since it's got worse I'm having further investigations and walk with a stick at 37. To make things worse, over exertion hurts as does sitting for too long. I can't win lol. Apart from the shooting pains I ache in the hip region permanently even with multiple prescribed pain killers and physio. I Appreciate any tips or advice. Thanks in advance.
Hi Peter. Firstly you are NOT alone....we are here. Based on what you have said above you are 'enhanced' Have you watched the guides on PIP Claims and Tribunal submission packs? I give examples in every section that will help you. This Sunday I have a really good guide coming out on how they do the points. I really recommend you watch that. I explain in the guides what they mean by mobility.....its NOT about you could do it if your life depended on it. Its about being able to walk WITHOUT it increasing your pain and making you exhausted afterwards. Please watch the guides as they will help loads. Also, the points system will be in the Guide that comes out on Sunday. Use that.....it will clear all the crap and keep you focused on the key areas you need to communicate. After you watch the guides let me know if you have any more questions Take care Charlie
Long story short, it won't come down to what you suffer from. It comes down to how this sleep issue affects your everyday life and performing tasks. For example, personal hygiene, washing yourself, and preparing and cooking your meals. Plus few other things like how this sleep situation is affecting your mental health. All the best 👍💯🌟
I am waiting for my court appeal was denied twice by pips they given me 2 points said I was well when I wasn't at all ,things got very bad since 9 months also I made mistakes saying that exercise and meditate probably reason why I didn't get proper points idk it's sad because my previous assement I had 26 points including 12 for mobility
Insist on recording it no matter what they say, they'll try to bully you into switching your device off but they have no legal right to do so. Be stubborn and stand your ground. If they feel like whatever they were planning to do will come back to haunt them they might just call it off.
I watched your video, and so I thank you for sharing your knowledge, it was very interesting, so I have joined your channel, as I have C.M.T, that is very disabling Thanks, Bob in the UK
I'm registered partially sighted. I have two eye conditions and I've been told by P.I.P that they don't award it for just people with bad eyesight as if all my problems will disappear by wearing specs. Specssavers took me off their records over a year ago because they can't do anything for me. My eyesight is too damaged. I'm going for it again and have my assessment soon but this time I have the NAB (visual impairment registry) representative with me who has done a assessment of me and my needs with me at my home.
Iv been rejected 3 times now.i have severe heart failure had major surgery have a difib fitted as im prone to sudden death and have the medical paper work to back me up yet i cant get any further support😩
I was refused PIP and one of the grounds were becauae i cried nd aid i missed my job. They said that "this shows motivation" the sexond time around they straight upmlied and said i said i can cut up vegetables when i said the opposite.
Hello, you should not have it stopped, even if they are late in going over your review form. That would be their issue not yours. So long as you submitted your review on time, it should carry on. Unless you have suddenly got better......which I do not think will be the case based on your worries. If you can, keep me posted. Just drop me a message on here if you are fretting and I will try and help Take care Charlie
Hi I have just registered but feel I have fallen at the first hurdle, as the questions, I felt were aimed at physical health and mine is mental health and migraine. Will this automatically get rejected due to me answering that I dont need help for the things they asked? Thank you.
Yes I had the same anxiety depression ocd ..some of the questions that are ridiculous can you go to the toilet can you make food ..of course we can we ain’t p physically disabled we have mental health problems
@@gillryan5492 nope as I said the questions are not for people with mental health problems ..unless you just straight up lie and say family cooks for you goes shopping for you helps you wash, all the things a physically disabled person can’t do that’s the only way you you’ll be rewarded if
@@kingsking2816that's not true, mental health problems can have a huge impact on people's appetite and cause them to stop eating or forget to eat, needing someone to remind you to eat counts as points. With washing and bathing, it's not just about needing someone to physically help you, it is also about needing to be reminded or encouraged to wash, as many people with mental illnesses can go long periods without washing due to lack of motivation etc.
If you are waiting for the Tribunal I would not re-apply as you are already in the system and it will cause confusion. Unfortunately, it will not matter if the Doctor says you are disabled. Its about how your daily living and mobility is impacted (and how you communicate this). If you watch the PIP Claim guide or the Tribunal Submission Guide, that will go show you how they award the points. This is key to winning Good luck Charlie
Hi. Can i ask a question? I care 24/7 for my diaabled partner since January 2020 and my partner receives PIP since January 2020. We are both in Universal Credit. I never claimed for Carer'w Allowance due to not knowing about this Benefit. I recently found out and applied. My question is: Can Carer's Allowance be backdated to the day i started her care, January 2020 ? Thank you!
Hi i am autistic and due a medical. I need advice is this something you can help with? Im scared for whats to come as i feel all the services are knocking back my support referrals even though my doctoe is trying and advised by the samaritans im experiencing system abuse from people who dont understand now im terrified to even have my video medical
@Inttsum2 hi Yeah they asked me about my condition and how it effects me. You are best telling them your worst days so they understand how bad it can be. If you say you can do things even some times it can go against you so along as its honest just say what you can't do on your worst days and what changes you have had to make to accommodate your condition and what will happen if you are put in a position that will overload you. Sorry I can't word it better hope this helps. To try ease your worry I will say I was soo worried and I ended up getting a lovely woman on the phone who understood and everything was fine in the end I didn't need to worry, just take notes and take your time to mention everything. Im sure it will go well, best of luck to you.
Hello. many years ago I made a claim for disabled. At that time there use to be free help to get it. Even with the help I had. They rejected all right up to last case. It took 9 months to settle it and I got the full amount. Over the years it stayed that way till an assessment I had. Just because I was 2 points under I went down to the lower rate. I think the system stinks.
Hi, I have come across people getting pip for dyslexia. As I have been diagnosed from 6 years old and it has affected my jobs/life. Would be great if there was abit of help for this.
like all my claims have been lost i go to the tribunal and i then win my claim so i feel like they just pick and choose who win and lose without taking a full look at everything
All the questions are for people who have physical disabilities ..can you go to the toilet can you make food ..if you have depression and anxiety which is very bad ,you can’t work but can still make food and go toilet
And yet people with severe anxiety can get both the highest awards on mobility and care. The same goes for people with depression. You can get maximum points if your depression affects your mobility. Pip isn't really that complicated when you break it down but you should never lie on your form.
Can you help me? Is there a way I can contact you please? I was getting it then added two additional illnesses and was denied it after that assessment. She flat out lied in her assessment. Not only that, she cancelled the assessment appointment via text and then called at an unscheduled time and when I said I don’t have anyone with me because this wasn’t scheduled she just disregarded my request to reschedule so I could have a support person. The mandatory reassessment was also denied even though my doctor sent in a letter disputing everything the assessor claimed were the reasons she denied me. I can’t even bring myself to read the new denial it has caused me to slip into a serious state of depression.
I am SO sorry that you have had to go through it once and now you are again. That's terrible. I hope I can help you when it comes to communicating your daily living and/or mobility challenges so you do not have to go through this again Keep your chin up Charlie
Charlie, HI. I have just recently lost my left leg and my parents have put me down this path and I am freaking out, they now want a phone interview, my father wrote the form for me as I was some what knocked out by the whole ordeal, and still am.. please could you give me a little advice?
Hey Jason, Can you drop me an email at: charlieisdisablednotdead@gmail.com Just need to ask you a couple of questions. On the email, let me know the date of your phone interview please. Speak soon Charlie P.S Just breathe........you are NOT alone in this!
I wish I saw this earlier , I’ve been denied 2 times and I don’t think I’ll get the chance again , at least not now I think it’s to late , I have been struggling with health issues all my life, I wish I said no I couldn’t, I had a surgery last year which has now damaged my right side , my dominant arm , I can’t even cook without pain , it feels like my arm is broken ….but I’m;ost points only by 2 ! 2 things , one that I can walk for about q0 minutes even if it’s with stops and I can’t remember the other , I’m so feed up, I want to work but I physically can’t idk what to do anymore 😔 (I’m a artist but struggling with that to so I get no money)
I had a phone assessment 8 weeks back, the assessor lied quite a few times, she was a full on Scouser, I had to ask her repeat every question, sometimes twice, in the report I got back it states I had no problem hearing and comprehending what she said, lying cow, stated I don't cook anymore due to burning myself several times due to my Nueropathy and surprise surprise according to her I can cook with the help of an aid, I have trouble walking and need a stick to walk no more than 50 metres due to Nueropathy, Lymphedema and lower back pain, but was deemed fit enough to not need any help with mobility due to the walking stick, ended on the standard rate only, proper piss take like, I have multiple problems in daily life due to 8 different conditions yet some arsehole claiming they have Mental Health problems seem to get the full monty with posh car and all, the system needs sorting out for the better.
@@Int-sum asking about pets and hobbies, did I use my mobile for the internet and loads of other questions that had nothing to do with the questions on the form, I had phoned them a week earlier asking them to use the house phone number as I had trouble with the mobile, they rung my house phone 3 times without saying anything then rung my mobile, she was full on scouse, I had to ask her to repeat every question yet on the report she stated I had no problem understanding the questions, wish I had recorded it, you should get somebody to sit in with you and record the conversation, If I had I would probably be getting the full rate with full mobility, you can't even get a blue badge on the lower rate
I think you have to be on a vegetable state nowadays to claim PIP esp if you live alone and don't have anyone with you for the assessment. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get it. If you have a condition whereby you need help it should count never mind do you have a pet or kids and it goes against you

Wish I knew what to say, I have adhd, -all my life, ptsd, trauma, reynauds syndrome, brain fog, mental health problems. But I’m a Mum, and as any mum knows it’s hard enough to take a piss in peace, let alone fill a form out which I’ve forgotten where is a dozen times. I’ve watch nearly all of these videos but have forgot most things I’ve learnt already :( might have to pay you to do it Charlie 🙈😅
In 2020 i had spent 38 hours filling my form in. It took what sounded like a teenager 20 minutes of closed questions to assess me. Complained to my MP, Atos reviewed her appalling written assessment ( 10 minutes writing? No spell check?)and with the help of the local Law centre i got my full award back. The Law centre has now closed due to lack of funding. Theyre assessing me the year before i retire, i assume theyre hoping to kick me off. I hope my chronic disease has gone! Hmmmm.
Can I take Jeremy hunt to court because I lost my pip and good food allowance eating the only food I can afford is going to have a detrimental effect on my arthritus funny how laws don't apply to the law creators I never saw iain Duncan Smith trialed for murder!
IMPORTANT Hi Charlie. Just to let you know the latest from ADP and what they do with a review. I have been on PIP for 10 years both enhanced and switched to ADP successfully. I am due a review next month (Feb) and called for info on what to do. They said they will send me a Form which Ive to send back signed that there is no changes and they will process, it only asks if there is a change and only to sign if there is no change. If there is a change they have sent me a 40 page booklet called 'Change of Circumstances'. It has subjects liike PIP Preparing Food etc with one half page blank saying 'How has this changed' and the other half page blank asking On average how are you affected by this change'. This is repeated on every page under each heading so this is the new style 'Review'. They sent me this form ahead of time and it is also online. I would greatly appreciate how this new Form is to be completed and your advice. Thank you.
Hi Charlie I have been told pip are going to review my claim in August. I have also just crushed my hand and had metal plates put in but I am worried about contacting them in case they stop my money.
If you're already on an enhanced pip rate then leave it. Otherwise, you could risk losing it. However, if you are on standard pip rate and think this new change in your life about the metal plate in your hands can help you get the enhanced rate then you should seek proper advice from people who understand pip before you try to make changes in your claim. If this new change in your life about your hands doesn't increase your chances of getting enhanced pip then you'll just be putting yourself through unnecessary grief! And even the possibility of losing what you already get! All the best 👍💯🌟
@asadzeethree2726 thanks for the advice I'm 63 and I do get the higher rate but not mobility although things have gotten worse I'm still worried that they will stop what I'm getting in November 'in the past I have been in a clinic for gambling addiction and depression I'm waiting for an adhd assessment and have had a triple bypass and also had a heart attack and another stent fitted which they don't know about 'didn't mean to harp on I'm greatful for the feedback as I'm not used to talking about things 👍

Hello, sorry if I was not clear. Do NOT say 'sometimes'. I recommend, explaining how you are and then explain how many times a week you experience this. For example: I am not able to get into the bath, once a week my partner will lift my right leg into the bath so I can have a soak. I hope that makes it clearer Take care Charlie
Look pip is a care based system. If you can go it you don't need care to do it. I used to work for them I've seen the descriptors. You will have time at the end of the mandatory reconsideration to put your side forward.. take your worst day don't lie because that could get you into even more trouble later than the line. You don't have to be catatonic to claim personal independence payment they have to affect you about 50% of the time. This itself is bad for advice.
What was it like working for them. ?. I've just had my medical assessment. I don't hold much hope though as I've worked continuously since 1989. My condition and medication is now putting me off work and I'm on disciplinary route at work for the first time in my life. Its got to the stage where I get home and cannot do hardly anything anymore. HP was nice though last Friday on the phone which I thought went to well. Had a 2nd Call last night asking to clarify some info I'd put on my pip form and he wasn't so nice. I'd have loved to have worked for them mate.
Comment deleted by me. yt continually removing my reply to someone on my post but allowing the others comment to stand. Reported to yt but obviously it doesn't fit their narrative. This commenter has also followed my on posts on other channels and put the same thing. So I guess it's a one sided argument. Commenters name available if needed or wanted?
All they do is lie 8 years ago I had a employment support medical a home visit a doc came out and totally lied everything but I had a ace up my sleeve it's who you know it came back knocked me off employment support but when I had my medical I had a labour mp there family personnel friend my step daughter she got onto dwp and said what total lies within ten mins I was put back in the support group I've never had a letter for a medical again it's nearly 9 years golden rule number one ask for a home visit rule 2 you want it recording it will come back they won't send for you for a medical because they only have a few machine to take with them to record it's been nearly 9 years now
Hi, sorry for the delay in replying, I am just getting used to the comments section and this one did not pop up with the filter I had on! You can email me at: charlieisdisablednotdead@gmail.com Speak soon Charlie
You have a 100% success rate for claims. You make people look like we are scrounging. I would be very concerned if people would have 100% success if they listened to you. You are dangerous. The DWP are not happy with your actions and false claims! Stop before you lose your credibility and benefit
Are you not promoting fraudulent claims for PIP ? What your saying is everyone including all the immigrants who make false claims should follow your lead and get benefits that they are actually not entitled to. If they can't cook they can't cook if they can they can. E.g my sister has fibromyalgia but she hasn't starved to death yet she sleeps then cooks after and doesn't get PIP. I don't get pip for severe generalised anxiety disorder and MDD the question they ask are not correct for mental health so why would I be entitled to PIP ? Pip has always Been tailored to physical health as a priority over mental health. Can you lift a box 📦 above your head then your mental health is cured magic 🎩 ✨️ . I think people posting on public platforms creates a financial problem that the country can't afford. I'm not sure why people can't live off just lcwra I have to and manage it.

@@Mike--Oxmall I don't need to look up the marking criteria...I work and have work ethics..I was merely commenting on a ferral family that don't silly Billy? Me...nah.
While I appreciate your efforts to help people, I cannot set aside my frustration and anger towards this country's unfit benefits system and the hostile treatment of genuinely disabled people. Thank you for what you do to help.
Hey Jamil, I really do agree with you....I try and see it from both sides, but when I am helping a individual who is in chronic pain, relax as they are having a panic attack....and have not slept for days due to fear of the assessment...
Its really hard to be 'understanding' about the process.
Thanks so much for commenting
Charlie
It's about people with long term illness and disability and the whole process is corrupt. Goggle this mr frustrated. How many people die within three months of being refused pip, that they are legitimately entitled to. Then Google why are the DWP illegally withholding the statistics on how many people are dieing, with the full support of this appalling government. hopefully it'll make you get a sense of just how wicked the system is
But I doubt it
Hi Charlie,
First I would like to say thank you for all the good you are doing on behalf of us disabled people.
I was on D. L. A for a number of years, Low Care, High Mobility, I had 2 tribunals, both because my mobility was lowered to Low. both reversed the decisions.
On the second, I was awarded High Mobility Indefinitely.
When I was being changed over to P. I. P. I filled the form in, to the best of my knowledge, the question in the Mobility section asking "Can you plan & follow a journey", I answered Yes, because I can red a map & also, I can input an address into a Sat Nav.
I lost my mobility high payment, it was put down to Standard, I also get Standard care.
I asked for my claim to be looked at again, the award stayed the same.
It wasn't until I went to see a man from Citizens Advice, that I was informed that was not what the question meant.
He informed me that, it related to, could I think I wanted to go to a place, would I be able to choose the place, then ACTUALLY be able to GO on that journey, would I feel safe going, or EVEN be able to start the journey.
I, as I said before, have been to 2 tribunals, I found them very stressful, not because of the people conducting them, but the actual event.
That was a few years ago now, is there any way I could have another review.
Disabled doesn't mean you can't work. PIP should be done away with. It's too easy to get on it.
You can fill out the form perfectly.But you go to an assessment where the "healthcare professional" lies and you are awarded no points.
This is why there has to be someone who is going stand up against this , am appealing for court now it's been 9 months , am going go video cam on April 25th also going have someone being my witness when it comes to appeal , I hope court can make things right because no doubt I deservee it also other people who have killed them selves over pips this is shouldn't been accepted it's mentally draining effecting mental health for worst and soon or later I might go back to prison because of people if I don't get things sort it
@@blackpillaudrius3015It's a tribunal not a court.The DWP doesn't have to change its mind even if the tribunal finds in your favour.
@davidhooper1767 it's not about favour its about rights for support to help with mental health daily activities and mobility
@@blackpillaudrius3015 That's the term used in a tribunal and other civil matters.I would read up on it you don't sound very knowledgeable about it.
What's wrong with your dave?
We learnt this the hard way, over a year ago we had to do the mandatory reconsideration and then tribunal to win my partner's pip claim, actually going through a change of circumstances now, not heard back yet but fingers crossed
Thanks
Hi Charlie, I lost the enhanced mobility part of my pip in September I appealed the decision and still lost it because of how I worded things. So since September I’ve been pretty much stuck at home ever since, relying on my children to ferry me around to appointments etc (when they haven’t been cancelled. It’s affected my mental health severely as my independence has gone. Having to try and walk to the shops etc has made my back pain increase significantly. I’m waiting for a new claim form as things have changed and I’m in temporary accommodation because from the point of losing my car, life has changed in many ways. I no longer have my no claims bonus because I had the motability car which has pushed insurance prices up so I couldn’t afford to have my own car if I wanted to without struggling financially. Your videos have given me good insight into how to fill my claim next time. Wish I’d known sooner, thanks Marcus
Glad the videos have helped, so sorry to hear about your experience!
Charlie please help..
A lot of people on pip go on holidays and g9 to airport worth cases. Why can they not work?
As a person who went through this process, I had to describe myself in my worst weeks and tell anyone who is disabled to do the same as, some disabilities are not a continuous thing it's you are fine for a few months but then took out of commission for a whole month which financially destabilizes you due to being unable to work and likely will lose your job. So do say you can't do something if that's you on your worst week.
Stephen hawking worked.....why can't you....ah because you're in the system and telling others how to dodge work.
@@chrisoconnor8392 You can still work and get PIP as it isn't means tested, its just based on how your condition impacts you.
Charlie, just joined your news letter. Wasn’t able to do the monthly thing, but I’ll go back and do that on Thursday.
It’s wonderful that people are getting some form of help with this it’s sad it’s not government funded i knew these things and felt like I wasn’t mentally impaired but I have BPD just doing these things can make you question and doubt yourself be blunt and make a snappy decision that’s what I did can I cook or does my disability prevent me and how I usually opt for a microwave meal, when I do try to cook I drop pots and it can be frustrating due to my arthritis and spine pain. They’ll work out from that, no they can’t.
💜 I am tearful just reliving my experiences in the 2 hour exhausting assessment even though the assessor was nice and patient. Wish everyone strength and the positive support they deserve
Good sound advice. Subbed.
I was awarded enhnanced enhanced pip recently without sending the form or any evidence back, when i had the assesment phone call i was asked to what my coniditons were as there was no paperwork, i took my time and paid attention to the areas that points are awarded i.e. needing aiding or prompting for various things, 3 weeks later i received a call with the pip award and the back payment of 6 months was in my account withing week, positively surprised
Congratulations and I'm very happy for you. It must be a relief for now!👍💯🌟
Hi 👋 can I ask you what you were diagnosed with?
It’s a lottery
People fail to get pip because they dont want you to have it. The whole interview is to find an excuse to stop you getting it .They arent trying to help people in need.
Tried 4 times to get this. But no they still don't get that not all disabilities are visible
Its the Tories that have created this inhumane benefits system
Lets not get political both major parties are to blame. If Labour get in later this year, it won't change a thing.
@@mairiconnell6282 We need a viable alternative, but that would be actually democratic.
No- it is squarely the Tories who are to blame, and that has been the case for at least 15 years now. They are actively trying to reduce benefits and even remove the ability to go to a doctor to get a sick note. Labour have not done any of that.
This is an inherently political subject- there is no 'not getting political' about it. The fact simply is that the Tories have done so much harm to disabled people over the years- there is no two ways about this.
@@Stathio So naive.
You think Starmers labour is any better though? The party that stabs anyone in the back that actually would benefit the people?
Starmer has already said hes not changing the points system. Instead he will put us all on a plane to Rwanda 😆.
I've just got an on going reward I went to dial to fill forms in
Hi Charlie
I have followed your recommendations and just had my phone assessment so now am waiting award or not but thank you
Crippling injuries do effect long term, despite if you want to work, so why? Do benefits always try to force people to work? I'm trained, being comfortable in a job is good not with injuries or over doing muscles, repetitions and etc.
Hi I got my pip on the 29 Dec 23 I thought I would had got it today with it being the 26th will I get later since I got it early on Christmas thanks
I got knocked back , I got sleep apnea . And struggle in daily tasks .
Try again sleep apnia counts as affecting your life
Get citizens advice to help with forms
I have to go to court next month regarding pip but I don’t claim it….
Can you claim PIP purely financial reasons, being a coeliac, food is generally 25% more expensive, any advice, Thanks.
I did well. Got CFS and NFD did claim got all zeros Then reviewed again all zeros no joy. do i bother going to tribunal. Should i even bother until been to CFS clinic.?
Right just to be clear to start with. I am using that thing on my phone that whereby I speak and it types out the word for me. So I've had my pip claim rejected today. Even though when they ask me questions like. Can you prepare a simple meal? I answered directly. Nothing else a hard somehow. I still got 0 points for it.
I've just been turned down for pip. I have a number of health issues that severely impact my life. Part of the reason is that I wasn't constantly at the docs every five minutes from the way the letter was written. What they ignored is how the assessor used leading questions and rushed through the assessment without giving me time to talk properly. The assessment barely lasted 20 minutes which says something.
Good advice
I have cirrhosis or the liver and portal hypertension, maybe i have a few years but this pip is rediculess
Hi, im in a situation where I need to apply for PIP. And yours is the first video I looked up. am I able to speak to you in person please? As in over the phone, I’m from the Uk.
I was on enhanced and now they stopped it. Can you help me appeal
This advice is spot on!!!
Hi thanks for this, iv had to fight so much for mine, went to a tribunal and they said there's nothing wrong with your heart, when I was waiting for a pulmonary valve replacement, open heart surgery, they made me feel so bad, they took the higher rate mobility off me, and I have a very complex medical history,
I'm so confused by it all. I was awarded standard rate of living 2 years ago and my next assessment is coming up in a couple of weeks. The first time the assesment came back and didn't seem to at all stack up against what I'd told them. My condition is far worse than it was back then and don't know how I should be answering. I can walk 20 metres but there are times in the day where I can't stand. Does it count if I can walk but it's painful and uncomfortable and I'm constantly saying, 'dont worry I'll catch you up'. There are times in the day that when stood I can't apply pressure to my right leg meaning I can't walk at all for a period of time. During the colder months it's excruciating constantly. I'd really appreciate some help if someone is willing to give me a bit of time. In short, as a child I had a degenerative disease which caused the cartilage to form badly in my hip joints, this is now simply classed as arthritis now I'm an adult. It's caused a cam deformity in my right hip and I have impingement giving me reduced mobility and range. I often get shooting pains through my lower back, hip, groin, down my leg, in my knee and strangely all the way down into my big toe, I think I'm trapping nerves but I'm no expert. Since it's got worse I'm having further investigations and walk with a stick at 37. To make things worse, over exertion hurts as does sitting for too long. I can't win lol. Apart from the shooting pains I ache in the hip region permanently even with multiple prescribed pain killers and physio. I Appreciate any tips or advice. Thanks in advance.
Hi Peter.
Firstly you are NOT alone....we are here. Based on what you have said above you are 'enhanced'
Have you watched the guides on PIP Claims and Tribunal submission packs? I give examples in every section that will help you. This Sunday I have a really good guide coming out on how they do the points. I really recommend you watch that.
I explain in the guides what they mean by mobility.....its NOT about you could do it if your life depended on it. Its about being able to walk WITHOUT it increasing your pain and making you exhausted afterwards.
Please watch the guides as they will help loads. Also, the points system will be in the Guide that comes out on Sunday. Use that.....it will clear all the crap and keep you focused on the key areas you need to communicate.
After you watch the guides let me know if you have any more questions
Take care
Charlie
@@CharliesJourney Enhanced living component as apposed to standard?
Yes, enhanced not standard. That is only based on your comments above.....but that is my gut feel at this point.
i wish i had listened to you first! I had a pjonecall the other day and after listening to you i know ive buggered it!
Hi Charlie
Can I claim pip for sleep apnea I have Central Sleep apnea and use a vent machine when I sleep? Thanks
Long story short, it won't come down to what you suffer from. It comes down to how this sleep issue affects your everyday life and performing tasks. For example, personal hygiene, washing yourself, and preparing and cooking your meals. Plus few other things like how this sleep situation is affecting your mental health. All the best 👍💯🌟
I am waiting for my court appeal was denied twice by pips they given me 2 points said I was well when I wasn't at all ,things got very bad since 9 months also I made mistakes saying that exercise and meditate probably reason why I didn't get proper points idk it's sad because my previous assement I had 26 points including 12 for mobility
Insist on recording it no matter what they say, they'll try to bully you into switching your device off but they have no legal right to do so. Be stubborn and stand your ground. If they feel like whatever they were planning to do will come back to haunt them they might just call it off.
I watched your video, and so I thank you for sharing your knowledge, it was very interesting, so I have joined your channel, as I have C.M.T, that is very disabling
Thanks, Bob in the UK
I'm registered partially sighted. I have two eye conditions and I've been told by P.I.P that they don't award it for just people with bad eyesight as if all my problems will disappear by wearing specs.
Specssavers took me off their records over a year ago because they can't do anything for me. My eyesight is too damaged.
I'm going for it again and have my assessment soon but this time I have the NAB (visual impairment registry) representative with me who has done a assessment of me and my needs with me at my home.
This my new hope i will every single video 😊
Iv been rejected 3 times now.i have severe heart failure had major surgery have a difib fitted as im prone to sudden death and have the medical paper work to back me up yet i cant get any further support😩
I was refused PIP and one of the grounds were becauae i cried nd aid i missed my job. They said that "this shows motivation" the sexond time around they straight upmlied and said i said i can cut up vegetables when i said the opposite.
My wife just won after 18 months can't believe she had to go to court even the judge said it should never been taken to court
Good day
If my pip about to ends soon but it under review. Will my Pip stop till I’ll get assessment and decision ?
Thanks
Hello, you should not have it stopped, even if they are late in going over your review form. That would be their issue not yours.
So long as you submitted your review on time, it should carry on. Unless you have suddenly got better......which I do not think will be the case based on your worries.
If you can, keep me posted. Just drop me a message on here if you are fretting and I will try and help
Take care
Charlie
@@CharliesJourney Thank you very much for your answer. Also maybe you know how long approximately now time for review pip ?
PIP review people normally every 3 years. But they seem to vary it.....sorry I cannot be more specific!
Hi Charlie I'm clueless how to do a tribunal form I can't fill in form as my hand shakees
Plz help
Hi I have just registered but feel I have fallen at the first hurdle, as the questions, I felt were aimed at physical health and mine is mental health and migraine. Will this automatically get rejected due to me answering that I dont need help for the things they asked? Thank you.
Yes I had the same anxiety depression ocd ..some of the questions that are ridiculous can you go to the toilet can you make food ..of course we can we ain’t p physically disabled we have mental health problems
@@kingsking2816 were you successful in getting it or not? I don't even know what happens next but I suppose I will just have to wait and see. X
@@gillryan5492 nope as I said the questions are not for people with mental health problems ..unless you just straight up lie and say family cooks for you goes shopping for you helps you wash, all the things a physically disabled person can’t do that’s the only way you you’ll be rewarded if
@@kingsking2816 it's a joke isn't it x
@@kingsking2816that's not true, mental health problems can have a huge impact on people's appetite and cause them to stop eating or forget to eat, needing someone to remind you to eat counts as points. With washing and bathing, it's not just about needing someone to physically help you, it is also about needing to be reminded or encouraged to wash, as many people with mental illnesses can go long periods without washing due to lack of motivation etc.
I’m waiting for tribunal shall I re apply for pip as now have letter from doctors stating I’m disabled
If you are waiting for the Tribunal I would not re-apply as you are already in the system and it will cause confusion.
Unfortunately, it will not matter if the Doctor says you are disabled. Its about how your daily living and mobility is impacted (and how you communicate this).
If you watch the PIP Claim guide or the Tribunal Submission Guide, that will go show you how they award the points. This is key to winning
Good luck
Charlie
Hi. Can i ask a question?
I care 24/7 for my diaabled partner since January 2020 and my partner receives PIP since January 2020. We are both in Universal Credit. I never claimed for Carer'w Allowance due to not knowing about this Benefit. I recently found out and applied.
My question is: Can Carer's Allowance be backdated to the day i started her care, January 2020 ? Thank you!
Hi i am autistic and due a medical. I need advice is this something you can help with? Im scared for whats to come as i feel all the services are knocking back my support referrals even though my doctoe is trying and advised by the samaritans im experiencing system abuse from people who dont understand now im terrified to even have my video medical
Hello, i am autistic to and have a phone call about the ppi thing coming up, what kind of questions do they ask. Do you know?
@Inttsum2 hi Yeah they asked me about my condition and how it effects me. You are best telling them your worst days so they understand how bad it can be. If you say you can do things even some times it can go against you so along as its honest just say what you can't do on your worst days and what changes you have had to make to accommodate your condition and what will happen if you are put in a position that will overload you. Sorry I can't word it better hope this helps. To try ease your worry I will say I was soo worried and I ended up getting a lovely woman on the phone who understood and everything was fine in the end I didn't need to worry, just take notes and take your time to mention everything. Im sure it will go well, best of luck to you.
I had my review assessment 3 weeks ago received text saying they have a decision in post . I thought this was pretty fsst
Hello. many years ago I made a claim for disabled. At that time there use to be free help to get it. Even with the help I had. They rejected all right up to last case. It took 9 months to settle it and I got the full amount. Over the years it stayed that way till an assessment I had. Just because I was 2 points under I went down to the lower rate. I think the system stinks.
So with the renew form part can you just put the same nothing changed and they won’t stop my money?
How many points do you need to pass?
Hi, I have come across people getting pip for dyslexia. As I have been diagnosed from 6 years old and it has affected my jobs/life. Would be great if there was abit of help for this.
like all my claims have been lost i go to the tribunal and i then win my claim so i feel like they just pick and choose who win and lose without taking a full look at everything
All the questions are for people who have physical disabilities ..can you go to the toilet can you make food ..if you have depression and anxiety which is very bad ,you can’t work but can still make food and go toilet
And yet people with severe anxiety can get both the highest awards on mobility and care. The same goes for people with depression. You can get maximum points if your depression affects your mobility. Pip isn't really that complicated when you break it down but you should never lie on your form.
@@elixier33 I’ve had severe depression in the past i mean scary depression…and I’ve never shit myself or starved
@@kingsking2816 a lot of people have trouble eating and remembering to eat when they have anxiety and/or depression, it's extremely common.

@@Int-sum you can check them on the citizens Advice page
Can you help me? Is there a way I can contact you please? I was getting it then added two additional illnesses and was denied it after that assessment. She flat out lied in her assessment. Not only that, she cancelled the assessment appointment via text and then called at an unscheduled time and when I said I don’t have anyone with me because this wasn’t scheduled she just disregarded my request to reschedule so I could have a support person. The mandatory reassessment was also denied even though my doctor sent in a letter disputing everything the assessor claimed were the reasons she denied me. I can’t even bring myself to read the new denial it has caused me to slip into a serious state of depression.

I had a phone assessment 8 weeks back, the assessor lied quite a few times, she was a full on Scouser, I had to ask her repeat every question, sometimes twice, in the report I got back it states I had no problem hearing and comprehending what she said, lying cow, stated I don't cook anymore due to burning myself several times due to my Nueropathy and surprise surprise according to her I can cook with the help of an aid, I have trouble walking and need a stick to walk no more than 50 metres due to Nueropathy, Lymphedema and lower back pain, but was deemed fit enough to not need any help with mobility due to the walking stick, ended on the standard rate only, proper piss take like, I have multiple problems in daily life due to 8 different conditions yet some arsehole claiming they have Mental Health problems seem to get the full monty with posh car and all, the system needs sorting out for the better.
I have a phone call coming up can please tell me what kind of questions they will ask?
@@Int-sum asking about pets and hobbies, did I use my mobile for the internet and loads of other questions that had nothing to do with the questions on the form, I had phoned them a week earlier asking them to use the house phone number as I had trouble with the mobile, they rung my house phone 3 times without saying anything then rung my mobile, she was full on scouse, I had to ask her to repeat every question yet on the report she stated I had no problem understanding the questions, wish I had recorded it, you should get somebody to sit in with you and record the conversation, If I had I would probably be getting the full rate with full mobility, you can't even get a blue badge on the lower rate
I think you have to be on a vegetable state nowadays to claim PIP esp if you live alone and don't have anyone with you for the assessment. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get it. If you have a condition whereby you need help it should count never mind do you have a pet or kids and it goes against you

IMPORTANT Hi Charlie. Just to let you know the latest from ADP and what they do with a review. I have been on PIP for 10 years both enhanced and switched to ADP successfully. I am due a review next month (Feb) and called for info on what to do. They said they will send me a Form which Ive to send back signed that there is no changes and they will process, it only asks if there is a change and only to sign if there is no change. If there is a change they have sent me a 40 page booklet called 'Change of Circumstances'. It has subjects liike PIP Preparing Food etc with one half page blank saying 'How has this changed' and the other half page blank asking On average how are you affected by this change'. This is repeated on every page under each heading so this is the new style 'Review'. They sent me this form ahead of time and it is also online. I would greatly appreciate how this new Form is to be completed and your advice. Thank you.
Can you help me please
Hi Charlie I have been told pip are going to review my claim in August. I have also just crushed my hand and had metal plates put in but I am worried about contacting them in case they stop my money.
If you're already on an enhanced pip rate then leave it. Otherwise, you could risk losing it. However, if you are on standard pip rate and think this new change in your life about the metal plate in your hands can help you get the enhanced rate then you should seek proper advice from people who understand pip before you try to make changes in your claim. If this new change in your life about your hands doesn't increase your chances of getting enhanced pip then you'll just be putting yourself through unnecessary grief! And even the possibility of losing what you already get! All the best 👍💯🌟
@asadzeethree2726 thanks for the advice I'm 63 and I do get the higher rate but not mobility although things have gotten worse I'm still worried that they will stop what I'm getting in November 'in the past I have been in a clinic for gambling addiction and depression I'm waiting for an adhd assessment and have had a triple bypass and also had a heart attack and another stent fitted which they don't know about 'didn't mean to harp on I'm greatful for the feedback as I'm not used to talking about things 👍

I don't understand as you initially say don't say "sometimes" .... then say don't say "but"
Hello, sorry if I was not clear. Do NOT say 'sometimes'. I recommend, explaining how you are and then explain how many times a week you experience this.
For example: I am not able to get into the bath, once a week my partner will lift my right leg into the bath so I can have a soak.
I hope that makes it clearer
Take care

Look pip is a care based system. If you can go it you don't need care to do it. I used to work for them I've seen the descriptors. You will have time at the end of the mandatory reconsideration to put your side forward.. take your worst day don't lie because that could get you into even more trouble later than the line. You don't have to be catatonic to claim personal independence payment they have to affect you about 50% of the time. This itself is bad for advice.
What was it like working for them. ?.
I've just had my medical assessment. I don't hold much hope though as I've worked continuously since 1989.
My condition and medication is now putting me off work and I'm on disciplinary route at work for the first time in my life. Its got to the stage where I get home and cannot do hardly anything anymore.
HP was nice though last Friday on the phone which I thought went to well. Had a 2nd Call last night asking to clarify some info I'd put on my pip form and he wasn't so nice. I'd have loved to have worked for them mate.
Great advice and really helpful, but ! 😉 can you please remove background music please as it is distracting from your speech, thank you 🤞🏻😊
Comment deleted by me. yt continually removing my reply to someone on my post but allowing the others comment to stand. Reported to yt but obviously it doesn't fit their narrative. This commenter has also followed my on posts on other channels and put the same thing. So I guess it's a one sided argument. Commenters name available if needed or wanted?
All they do is lie 8 years ago I had a employment support medical a home visit a doc came out and totally lied everything but I had a ace up my sleeve it's who you know it came back knocked me off employment support but when I had my medical I had a labour mp there family personnel friend my step daughter she got onto dwp and said what total lies within ten mins I was put back in the support group I've never had a letter for a medical again it's nearly 9 years golden rule number one ask for a home visit rule 2 you want it recording it will come back they won't send for you for a medical because they only have a few machine to take with them to record it's been nearly 9 years now
But is does not apply to muslims
So many playing the system.. 🤔
Makes a change from the system playing us
@godman9074 I don't agree that the ones playing the system get the money yet real people who are in need of it are the ones that have to fight for it.
I've pigeon holed all your videos for future reference

I am thinking of you x
You have a 100% success rate for claims. You make people look like we are scrounging. I would be very concerned if people would have 100% success if they listened to you. You are dangerous. The DWP are not happy with your actions and false claims! Stop before you lose your credibility and benefit
Are you not promoting fraudulent claims for PIP ? What your saying is everyone including all the immigrants who make false claims should follow your lead and get benefits that they are actually not entitled to. If they can't cook they can't cook if they can they can. E.g my sister has fibromyalgia but she hasn't starved to death yet she sleeps then cooks after and doesn't get PIP. I don't get pip for severe generalised anxiety disorder and MDD the question they ask are not correct for mental health so why would I be entitled to PIP ? Pip has always Been tailored to physical health as a priority over mental health. Can you lift a box 📦 above your head then your mental health is cured magic 🎩 ✨️ . I think people posting on public platforms creates a financial problem that the country can't afford. I'm not sure why people can't live off just lcwra I have to and manage it.
What a scam
