PIP saga

Hi Lorraine,

I am going to merge all of your PIP messages into one topic. We ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic as it helps us enormously. Therefore will you please reply to this message with further questions or comments and we will do our best to help. You will find it easily in future if you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now. Alternatively you can click on your username (in blue when you are logged into the forum) and it will bring up a list of all your previous posts.

As to the shambles relating to your MR - I'm afraid that DWP are not known for their efficiency at the best of times. When they mess up they tend to do it in spectacular style, as they have with you!

Morning after loosing my medical proof then making a decision re mandatory reconsideration without it the DWP agreed to look at my case again. They had stopped my award even though nothing had changed, I have CFS , fibromyalgia prolapsed discs and arthritis.Meantime I had
Sent off an appeal. My MP who supported my case called them to see what would jappem, he was told that the case would be looked at again and if they still couldn't change it the appeal would continue. Do you know of anyone who has experienced this. Also do the DWP sometimes change the decision before the tribunal?
Merry Christmas to everyone

Hi latest development in my ongoing saga , DWP have sent medical evidence I sent them as part of my reconsideration to healthcare provider ATOS, why would they do this? I have the ATOS report.its nonsense but obviously they r not going to admit to that. Any thoughts? Could this be a positive thing ?

Hi Lorraine,

I have again merged your query with the previous topics relating to your PIP as we ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic.

The DWP Decision Makers have no medical background, so it sounds as if there is something in your medical evidence that they want advice about. I would take it as a sign that they are really looking at your case again, rather than just 'rubber stamping' the original decision.

When you have further questions or comments about your PIP, please reply to this message - rather than start a new topic - and we will do our best to help

Hi sorry I will do as requested in future. DWP have now got report back from ATOS so I am at the final furlong now after months of worry and stress. Here's hoping it's a good result and they re instate my low care and mobility. It's such a struggle
