WHO AM I:
My name is Charlie and I am disabled. I live with chronic illness, I have a severe form of Psoriatic Arthritis and its crap! I am in pain all the time and always battling fatigue. BUT, I will not let it win. I love to learn and to laugh (even though it hurts my arthritic rib cage LOL). You will often see Ollie (she) my black Labrador. She is currently my trainee assistance dog! We are together, literally ALL the time.
As there are a number of awful people who target us - the vulnerable - here is a link to my personal LinkedIn account. You can literally see the past 25+yrs of my career, people who have recommended me (as a Logistician as Disability Specialist is very new for me).

I had my tribunal today and your videos helped a lot. Thank you
Edit: I got it!!
I didn't get mine last year. I've got a lot worse and I'm doing change of circumstances again.
Thanks to your videos and advice on here i got a txt yesterday from dwp.... we have awarded you pip 😮😮...i recorded the assessment on my phone and the nurse sent me a cd copy as well... she even said she was going recommend me getting help when i had my phone assessment.....i waited with baited breath and true to her word she must've done it
Hi, I applied for ADP in Scotland i got awarded full mobility and enhanced care due to your tips, i didnt even get a phone assessment i just filled in 2 forms and within 5 weeks i got the award and this is after failing PIP a year ago with no points! Cant thank you enough.
Thank you for this.
My head hurts from thinking about the next stage, thank you so much.
Hope your well as can be thank you for your support knowledge many thanks 🙏thanks charlie
Thank you for your help, you are amazing person❤❤❤
Good video Charlie I've got a pill pot and my mom prompts me I forgot to take mine the other day but I took them after xx
Charlie, just saw your face on daily mail, titled "TH-camr shares how she makes a fortune filling out disability applications for £650 a pop - as she boasts she has 'only ever lost one claim in six years' please never stop what you're doing, take care we love you 😘🙏
Just reading the comments and seen you've made the Daily Fail, which is barred from my home! I hope it gives you subscribers! Thank you for doing this, and I hope you are finding help yourself ❤
So true Charlie...My situation has become chronic & now I am finally considering PIP etc. xXx
Thank you ❤
Hi Charlie, Thanks so much for the help you provide...I was wondering About bathing and washing...I suffer with severe mental health and anxiety, When I can be bothered to go in the bath sometimes I just lay in the bath topping up the water as I cannot be bothered to get out...Would this count as getting stuck in the bath??
I've been diagnosed with severe mental impairment 18 months ago & I do this too
I've very recently been diagnosed with bpd at the age of 50. I've been feeling suicidal for about 30 years!. I'll definitely be putting that on my pip form.
While an excellent pip series you all Must read the current legislation word for word. It is what the judges have or should follow. Not easy and has changed a little since I had to assist with a claim. At that time and may still apply disorientation which is part of ME was rejected for any points. MR said otherwise. Grind them down with the appeal process, especially if they lie. The tribunal I attended fully stated “they knew assessors and decision makers lied” while a difficult experience they were on the claimants side and much more realistic about the persons capability and lack there off compared to the DWP.
Thank you so much for your information . I use prescription volcanol 2.32% Gel max twice a day and paracetamol as had olft on foot 3 years ago and metal work after 3 operation and still carnt get pip. I have gone to partime in work and suffer from nerve damage in foot and also now been told I have arthritis in foot and in future might need my foot to be fussed yet till no pip. I now live in bungalow as carnt do stairs
I would love more help with the assessment videos please. Thank you
I've just read this
And that's why I NEVER EVER would put anything private, where people can identify me, online
I have a pill box i take 10 tablets with the days on it my daughter sorts my medication out ..thanks for the info charlie i wrote that im my pip form x i always do recorded deliverly for my pip form
I have a lung condition and other conditions, I take a lot of medication on a daily basis. My sister does my meds once a week and my youngest son come in to see me every day to make sure I have taken my meds. I also have CBT counselling once a week. Will this help my application please ? Xx
I have a pill pot and this morning I realised I had forgotten yesterday’s meds, I have no thyroid so they are pretty important.
What if you live alone and don’t have anyone for supervision, prompting or assistance? And often forget to take medication
Where would I stand? I have a pill pot that my daughter fills up and programs the times I need my meds, come pill time, my machine beeps at me until I turn it upside down to empty that dose of pills out.
I have Surgical stockings that are tight for lymphoma. Due to CFS/ME I can't always manage to get them on and off, and need help with this. I got 2 points for this.
Then you were awarded the wrong points in this category
You made the Daily Fail today! All your videos are great at navigating an unwieldy, unhelpful , biased system.
Ironically the system will be revamped making it harder for people to get anything at all in the long run.
People are taking the p1ss, such as getting a diagnosis for adhd ffs, they get the full rate and some poor bstard can't get it if they've had a stroke.
Hi Charlie I have discoid lupus I suffer from extreme fatigue and depression sometimes I can't get out of bed can you give me additional information please Thank you
Does having to take my meds at the chemist count as supervision? Thanks
How do we contact her? Anyone help please
I don’t keep in touch with anyone even with my family/ mother. And I guess I’d have people checking in on me, so how can I tell pip?
Keep in mind ... its not about what you actually get .... it is about what you need... regardless of whether you get it or not .... so the need to have people checking on you is the relevant point .... NOT whether you have friends or family to do so.
@@Garuthius oh. Thanks so much for this. I I guess I can apply the same to other things, such as being driven or given meds. That I need someone to do it for me. As I’ve even given up on medication as I end up missing weeks of taking it and going through horrible withdrawals and also not even taking it every day.
Thank you 😊
Is there a way to get copy of that pip form you are showing us sister xx. Thanks R
@@Mrskess Yes, the same principle can be applied across all of the questions. I would argue that your intermittent use of your medication only serves to highlight your NEED to have somebody there to remind / pester you to take them and because that need is not met, you are suffering increased levels of your symptoms.
Of course you do have to be careful and think with utmost caution before you answer those questions as you may be falling into a 'trap' question by giving an a more in-depth answer to this one than you need to. As an example that you could relate to. I was helping with a friends claim and at assessment, she went into too much depth about how if she had someone to drive her around, she would be able to get out more. She was given 2 points in one category because she needed assistance but knocked down to zero in one of the mobility categories because she had (in the eyes of the assessor) stated that she was capable of getting out more than she did and was choosing not to go out.
Of course at tribunal the panel threw out the DWP decision (and threw the book at the DWP representative too) because we had the recording of the assessment and the Tribunal panel clearly understood that she could only get out of the house with a suitable person to accompany her / driver her around. But be aware, every piece of information that you give them for question 1. ... they will try to use against you on questions 3, 7 and 12 etc etc etc.
It is a battle of will's and truth.... And the person who holds the truth, is the person most likely to come out on top. Keep copies of everything they send to you, keep copies of everything you send to them and make recordings of every phone call AND assessment (as it is your right to do).
Anyway, hope some of that helps.
Do you have any overall advice for claiming pip for people who do not have help from others & have to try & rely on themselves for everything to keep themselves going?
I wrote a similar comment, and someone responded that’s it’s about the help you need, not just the help you are getting. So you can apply this to any situation in the assessment. Eg, You need someone to give you medication, otherwise you forget to take it for whatever reason. Merida my I’ve given up on some medication for mh as I keep not taking them consistently and go for periods of weeks not taking any at all, which results in withdrawals.
I live in isolation so have this problem too🤦♀️
Daily Mail 😂😂😂
They say YOU make a fortune 😂
I would do something about that, if I were you Good luck ❤
Hi can you take a copy of your form to an assessment to reference from?
Yes you can
I had a video interview recently, and they were asking if i had any debts, and if so, what is the debt for and why was I in debt. What's that got to do with anything?
10 Managing finances do you need help or prompting to manage complex budgeting decisions .I do because I can't be bothered to sort them. I'd rather be on here
Can you get points under managing medication for having a daily reminder on your phone? I take medication daily but I have 2 alarms a day on my phone for the medicine and I will still forget to take it.
Good question, I've got Alexa on a routine to remind me to take mine. Is this classed as an assistant ?
Yes it will count as an aid you need to be reminded ie alarm clock or phone.
@@muppetsshowupatspeakerscor579 I’ve heard super conflicting information on this. Some people say yes it counts others say no as lots of people use an alarm as a reminder when they aren’t disabled. I don’t need the 1 point to get pip as I already should get 8 in daily living activities and it won’t bump me up to enhanced so I don’t really mind either way.
@@Thatclimbingirl ON THE PIP bouklet it mentions , AID ANDAPPLIANCES for this activity might include things like a dosette box for tablet or an alarm or reminders
I told my assessor that I can’t manage my medication I have a dose box that my partner puts up for me and alarms set on my phone and my partner rings me from work a few times per day to make sure I have taken them, I still got no points as they decided I can manage medication. Even though I have all the reminders I still forget to take it.Especially If I fall asleep.
I have acquired brain damage was so hard to get pip
I also have an Acquired Brain Injury. To everyone I see I sometimes have to explain my problems.
You look perfectly ok. There's nothing wrong with you🤬🤬🤬
This what i mean its mental health and you car'nt see it. You guys need to try again with pip. Tell them your worst days
Why the form submitted online,is not a I able to be accessed and be printed out after submitting. I guess that’s their strategy also like with mailing it once you’ve sent it off and most people
Probably forget to print it, you no longer can get a copy of it for them to trick you.
Sadly sounds about right, I wondered this, everything is done online, except PIP. So it sort of says it ... if it was done online then they wouldn't be able to 'loss' the form, and wouldn't be able to trick ppl, or twist stuff round ...
@@carolineowen7846 I had CAB helping me fill out and sending the form and they didn’t print it or tell me that I can’t print it after submitting. By post DWP can say they didn’t received the form, and by online submitting money they can say there is a technical error and the form is lost or something like this.
You can get it by Subject Access Request
@@LemonPuf that’s what I was thinking to do. But it will takes a while to get it. But thank you anyway. Seems I have no other option but to do SAR.
@@Mrskess it might be best just to make notes and take that with you and explain to them why you need the notes. Write down the key points and remember the reliably criteria STAR - safely, timely manner, acceptable standard and repeatedly.
You say get treatment my issue is I have long covid as one of my issues and medical people avoid you like the plague! Or use it for what is causing your issues for everything, if they don't know what it is.
Try some Pineapple, Papaya & Pomegrant (best to get the pomegranate as the seeds, as it can be a bit of a nightmare cutting it). It shiuld make you feel a bit better. Hope it helps x - it helped me ALOT.
Your just helping the powers that be justify removing benefits for those that really need it and forcing people into a work for benefits system they cannot do I hope your happy with yourself
Do you really charge people £650 each for helping them make PIP claims as alleged by the Daily Mail? Nice little earner if the sixty odd applicants that you allegedly help each month is correct (approx. £43,000 per month).
I bet she doesnt pay a penny income tax
Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers lies sell they will literally print any rubbish to sell it keeps them in a job
I’ve got no problem with people getting help, but you don’t sit right with me. £650 quid for ‘help’ ? Well you are working then and getting a good income? Something is not quite right with your story
The £650 is for the whole process, there are other options available
I commented 3 times on your videos, no reply I emailed you as well, no reply either .....that's all I have to say
