Hi, I'm after a bit of advice about my PiP claim, I got DLA for ptsd at full rate and low rate mobility, I'm now trying to get PiP, I now have migraine associated vertigo to add to the list, I got denied my first claim and MR and Tribunal, I've reapplied, I've been for my assesment, the guy seemed to understand but I know thats no indication of the outcome, I thought they contacted your doctor automatically but I've just rang them to check and they said they haven't, I'd have to send a letter in from him? my doctor told me they'd probably contact him so he didn't need to write me a letter so I don't know what to do

We don't have any statistics for PIP, but the contact rates for ESA are at best 25%, our impression is that the rates for PIP are no better and could actually be worse, if you have had an assessment then the rates will be even lower as most contacts are made before a face to face takes place.

You may want to use different language, but your GP needs to stop procrastinating and should either support you or not!

He probably will help me if I ask him, he said this weeks ago, I've just found out theyre not contacting any of the contacts they asked me to put down, its a lot to see the doctor with a two or three week waiting list and agoraphobia on top of that and then having to pay for a letter when I have to keep me and my son, who is caring for me with no carers and being charged extra rent because he isn't getting carers so theyre on the verge of evicting us, no wonder people are dropping like flies, we're the only race on the planet that has to pay to live and the people who are there to make sure we don't die are absolutely useless. I'll wait and see what happens and put a letter in for the MR, I'm exhausted and don't have any money for a letter if I don't 100 per cent need it, I'd rather feed us.
