      I think you need to re read your message. You're talking like you work for the DWP 😂 People who look like they're ok, often aren't. Personal independence payment is for anybody who has a disability or health condition that limits their daily living or mobility needs. I am fully entitled to the help I receive but yes I agree that people with disabilities are being shit over by the DWP which is why I made these videos to help people when applying as I was one of those people. I had to fight for my award. My message to people is don't give up. Watch my videos, and apply with the advice I've given ❤️ and remember to never judge someone when you have literally no idea what they're going through. Be kind ❤️

      Your comment is helpful in demonstrating a major problem in the assessment of mental health problems. Just because this disability may not be outwardly visible, it can be equally, or more disabling, than a physical disability. As this person has said, the condition also fluctuates, so you may feel OK for a bit and then be stuck unable to do the simplest of daily living tasks . Of course it would be helpful if there was a test such as brain scan etc to show how much the condition effects someone but there are no such tests for many mental illnesses. The person is left having to articulate their difficulties, which is very difficult in the snapshot interview for a PIP assessment

    I am capable of working at the moment, however I do have Bipolar Disorder and when the depression, anger and anxiety kicks in I can't function properly which leads to problems with employment. E.g. Bursting into tears or having rage fits over the slightest thing, anxiety about leaving home to go to work and constantly being late for work because I can't get up on time. I used to get DLA but that was stopped because I was working. Applied for PIP but got zero points. Asked for mandatory consideration and still it was zero points. I switched jobs and the new employer was aware of the situation and still hired me but now has put me on an improvement plan due to me being late to work. Frankly it's depressing as now it feels like my job is at risk. They know the medication knocks me out and they did adjust my shift patterns to try to help but I still end up late for work due to both anxiety and the public transport system being up the creak. The employers solution was to, "Well just leave home earlier so you can be on time." My commute to work is about 2 hours already! I'm getting really vexed with working for companies directly because at the end of the day they have a business to run and need reliable employees. However, my bipolar is not very predictable or reliable either. Sorry for the rant but I'm concerned if I apply for PIP again that I will have to go through the same mental torture and financial hardship as the last time I applied and get 0 points again. It was the same with applying for Universal Credit as they cancelled my claim after 3 months stating I was earning too much. My take home pay was on average £650 per month and my rent was £560 per month and yet they said I was earning too much. Thanks to the DWP I got into huge arrears with my rent. Yet there are people out there who have been able to claim both PIP and get all their rent paid for them and smoke weed for recreation (not medicinal). It's incredibly annoying.

I was asked dog question said had no pets. should said more but my enxeity was playing up. they kept asking me the question in a similar way, but I kept on saying stuff what referred to her earlier and gave examples if my illness effects those questions she asked it was hard I told her I could hv told u more but I answered what you asked me to back myself up as I wanted to tell her more but my neurologist was mentioned so that probably answered that for me not sure. The lady was nice but she has to what the government tells her, she was very plight send calming and was patient with throughout the assessment she said at the end I did really well and that I should be proud of myself send said Goodluck. but when put the receiver down I was in so much distress I can't tell you I was in pain with my hands very sad I felt I spoke this person told her things that were personal to a stranger, I really think pip should change a form is enough and supporting evidence. I get u unlimited capability but no money, since pip involves money it becomes hard just because of the money dwp gave me 15 points on that unlimited capability assessment so I sent that with my form to prove that so I can go against it my pip was to be re applied which I hope not as found it very difficult. I was also asked if I came to office how would I feel I said ,I would be traumatized . because I remember telling them on the form I was traumatized the last time I came and became a questions. I didn't get copy if my form, so I hardly remember some if the things I written so I told her I'm slow to remember. I don't think she typed everything, as I asked her at the end she said she did so that's another good thing to note. but she was so nice yo me didn't make me feel worthless. but im so worried now all sorts is going into my mind if I answered right or not your videos have been very helpful and similar to my assessment.

How about supporting others instead of putting them down? Pip is for support due to disabilities. It's not a one for all. Also schizophrenia is extremely debilitating. Mental illness can affect someone as severely as physical health problems. All people with health conditions affecting their mobility and daily living, deserve help.

    I used to receive personal independence payments and unexplained they stopped my payments. Right before Christmas and my birthday. So I think the reason why personal independence payments stop was because I recently had a medical assessment done to see how I was going and there asked me questions and asked from scale 1-10 how I felt about my everyday basic things I needed to do. I will upload the paper work so you can see. So in the assessment I was asked about my ability to cook and clean. I mentioned food in the process only because I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So I have to watch my diet. I forgot to mention to the woman doing the assessment. The reason why I mentioned food was because I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so there fire it required healthy food for me. On the 19 Th of November I recently had a phone call from DWP in regards of personal independence payment and I just came from being hospitalised from the dangers of diabetes. I have uncontrolled diabetes due to my stress and confusion. I have been told by my Gp it’s impossible for me to work because of my diabetes. My risks are comma or losing a leg.

    I’ve been put on antidepressants for years now and just realised that hormonal imbalance/adrenal issues can cause and also worsen pre existing anxiety. If your cortisol is too high that means your other hormones (which effect sleep, mood etc) are deficient as well as vitamins. Unfortunately, the NHS don’t do much about correcting hormones, you’ll need to go to a private clinic, the top 2 I’ve found are called The Harpal Clinic or London clinic of nutrition, there pricey but they will correct a lot of things, the antidepressants are just masking these ever worsening issues.

I am getting bi weekly physiotherapy. I have been warned that things could take up to a year to settle and thus I might not even need the assessment at all. I have also been warned that stress can aggravate things especially my neck. Unfortunately my work coach was changed and she decided that she needs to badger me every week and only lead me to having full blown migraines and nights where I cannot sleep because of this. I know I am not as ill as other people, but I am so desperate for the job centre to give me time and space to actually deal with my health now that I feel going off full sick is the only way they will give me space to breath. I am also still pissed that my work coach says it’s policy to contact me once a week when I have had other work coaches who have contacted me every two weeks to once a month!
