Can't cope with the system was created by christie
I have worked out with a little help from family I could manage (just) out of system.
How do you come off DLA with no medical evidence of improvement? I really can't go through anymore! my health is suffering!.

Hi
If you are still entitled i would say persevere. If you can get some support it helps. Ojerwise i would say wait to the renewal date and do not return forms. If you already have them, dont ask for reconsideration or appeal. As its not means tested or contribution based you can apply again when you feel up to it. I think its 3 months. Im no way an expert but someone will correct me if im wrong
Take care

Christie unfortunately I think you are going to be doing what the government/dwp are hoping will happen to quite a few people who are going through the system.

Unfortunately I am also thinking along the same lines as you - once I get the migration forms I will send them off and if I pass then it's an added bonus. If I fail to get in to sg or basically fail then I am of the attitude that I'm not even going to bother appealing.

I know my MH cannot take much more and appealing will definately not help me. It will be a struggle - a big struggle but I am sure we can manage just! Well ok my debts might not get paid but hey ho..that's par the course.

Maybe I should reserve my bed in the local psych ward now as I am sure I will end up needing it thanks to these forms/pressure etc..

Dont think theyd care if forms go back or not. New renewal forms do say that you wont be sent a reminder and if they dont get em its over!!!

Hi C,

You really should think about this seriously, you could just wait and see.

The new PIP criteria will probably be coming into force in 2013, when all working age DLA recipients will be transferred over.

Have you taken our Self PIP Test, as here. :
