I was awarded enhanced on both back in July. I was given a 7 year award which will bring me up to state pension age . I am so worried about the future and the proposed changes to PIP etc . Will I have to be assessed all over again ❓ I honestly don’t think I can face it , it bought me to my knees last time and made me more poorly than I already am . I have both physical and mental health problems . Best wishes Charlie x
Myself was scored 0 for communication when 99% of the time I have to have my wife speaking on my behalf as they don't understand me as I have Vocal Cord Paralysis (Damaged Vocal Cords) I taken it to Tribunal and won it for 10 years even the judges laughed at not me them for putting 0 points on that.
I had a video call assessment i cant believe i only got 2 points for finding it hard to mix with people i have to be prompted they said by someone how can i be prompted i'm all alone i dont have anyone no help so that wasnt right . I got 2 points out of the whole assesment i am disgusted as i am struggling so much. Thankyou for helping us all. I need to write mandatory reconsideration basically i dnt know where to start what to do 😢😢😢
They are sneaky and two faced. They are you for 10 minutes and think they know what your daily life is like. You could have rested all day the day before just so had the strength and energy for your appointment and you could be dosed up to the eyeballs just to manage. And in those 10 minutes your trying your best to concentrate and focas remember everything you've got to tell them get over your nerves so you can tell them and they make you feel like your on trial. Once the interview is over you break down in tears go back to bed while they say oh you didn't score anything you seem to manage just fine. Then you have the stress and worry of going through a tribunal in front of strangers that already look down on you and most are sarcastic and judgemental. They make you feel like your worthless and your just try trying to get through the day and hope you get the help you need an a day to day basis. They dont know what it does to people. It makes them feel useless and worthless and something on the bottom of their shoe. It's horrible and degrading to be treated with such contempt. Yet you have to go through that to get the help you need it's right. X
Hi Charlie sorry for taking up your precious time but how can they state that planning and following a journey does not take the physical aspect into account when it states following a journey thank you for your time
You need to check out the website and her availability. In this instance, you might be better off contacting your GP, social worker or citizens advice bureau. Not much time left. Good luck. x
Good morning. I wonder if you could let me know what’s happened. I’ve been waiting for an assessment appointment. I’ve had a text message this morning saying your assessment is now complete you will have a decision in two weeks. Also can you still ask for the assessment report if you have not had one?. Thank you
I on hi rate pip for care and mobilty any ways back in 2016 has been awarded 9 years now plus my learning disabilities and autism they said no more face interviews it will be when I gets move to adult disability payment will I has to face interview again 😢
Hi Charlie Thank you for your volgs I just found them few weeks ago. I wanted to ask you two thing, do I have to notify PIP when I finish my cancer treatment and change or medication. I wasn't awarded PIP beacuse of my cancer, I was awarded beacuse of all the side effects I had from them and continue to have them. I am still unable to go to work as I am on NIL pay for over a year still waiting for ESA my employer as kindly offered me reduced hours from home would that effect my PIP. I have tried calling DWP no one seem to be able to answer my question, I am not die for review until next January was awarded in January 2024. I am anxious if I call them and tell them that I am in remission they will think I am not well. I still suffer from chronic fatigue, anxiety attacks where I have fits also bone pain and atharis. From the side where ny cancer was removed I had all my lymph node removed and I still can't use that arm. Also suffer from nurapathy where I need help with day to day jobs making food etc
Oh they'll even do it on telephone assessments....said I didn't sound breathless during the call.....obviously I wasn't breathless - I was sitting in bed, not walking about or physically exerting myself!. But they don't realise or accept that you might be able to one thing with difficulty, and then can't do something else with similar effort because of how badly the first thing affected you for a period of time. I got asked how I'd get in and out of a car, in detail, (taxi because I can't use public transport and don't drive anymore), and obviously decided that because I can get in and out of a car (with difficulty and pain etc), I can get on and off a toilet no problem and in and out of a bath no problem to shower 🙄
That's an excellent, self aware description of your situation. Really like your resilience. Very helpful. You know that phrase, there is none as blind as those who don't want to see - that sounds like the attitude you were facing. Hope it gets resolved in your favour.
@ thank you for your reply. I’m awaiting tribunal date 🙄 It annoys me though, as I was sent a sheet of paper in with my Tribunal paperwork that was from my LCWRA assessment (thankfully paperbased) and which I’ve never seen before, or been able to get copies of because UC say they don’t have it and the assessment lot said I need to ask UC for a copy 🙄 Anyway…..that sheet states that due to my conditions, I would not be able to mobilise even in a standard wheelchair as I do not have the upper body strength to self-propel. Yet I got zero for mobility with PIP! I’ve obviously highlighted this in my appeal, along with I am aware it’s separate benefits with differing criteria but it still doesn’t make sense! But, if I’m not successful at tribunal, I’ll reapply ☺️
I HAVE P.T.S.D FROM CARRERS. AND WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET ONE IN MY HOME EVER AGAIN (NOT HYPERBALY) WHERE IT SAYS DO YOU HAVE HELP WITH ...SOME VERY BASIC THINGS I CANNOT DUE SO JUST DONT GET DONE SO DOES THIS MEAN I GET 0 POINTS FOR THEM
Same here mate - alot of my anger issues come from having to spend time with evil care workers - you just say you need the help but because of your PTSD you can't have help because you don't trust them - be prepared to go all the way to tribunal - it's a fight - but you deserve it
Helped over 150 people at the cost of £600 = £90k hope HMRC get to see this video,may just forward it to them,this is clear proof your nothing but a phoney,the acting skills on this video just shows what you are,a con merchant,conning the system,conning the people!
They are so sneaky. And so many people think PIP is easy to claim 😞
Thanks, Charlie. You are brilliant and a massive help to the frightening world of claiming P.I.P.
That’s exactly what they done on my wife’s assessment they never asked any questions on communication and understanding instructions.
Thank you very much this video. Very helpful
Thank you charlie appreciate you taking time to post information for us ..please take care x

Omg there is so much to think about! 😢

I’m about to have a phone call assessment on Wednesday. Worried that they will twist things.
My partners condition has gotten worse so I change the circumstances and now I’ve gotta do everything all over again
Hi Charlie sorry for taking up your precious time but how can they state that planning and following a journey does not take the physical aspect into account when it states following a journey thank you for your time
Charlie I have my tribunal on wens 12th. Is there any possibility of speaking with you please before then? It would be hugely appreciated
