medusa Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Fabulous result Mark It's a shame they put you through unbelievable stress and pain to get there, but great that you got there in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayfly182 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Does anybody know how the points system works? what do you get the point's for etc. Yes, you can get the official form from the benefits and work agency, or from Citizen's Advice with extra handy tips. Just google 'PIP points' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidley Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks Mayfly182, it seems that people have to be very bad indeed to get these benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daisydoo! Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Daughter got middle rate DLA Care and lower rate mobility. Had to apply for pip instead of DLA letter received today turned down completely. They say its because she failed to attend an Atos meeting. this being only places they offered her was Stockport, Leeds, Dinnington all being to far to travel to alone. She had medical back up stating that she's not fit to travel those distances. They have totally disregarded the information she as sent to them. They've already stopped her DLA. Anyway any help or advice would be most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway any help or advice would be most welcome. Keep all your evidence, and, acquire more- photocopy all correspondance, record all phone calls, and put those in the evidence file. Presumably you've been offered the 'mandetory reconsideration' period of a month, necessary to go through before you're able to appeal. Get advice from the CAB if you can get an appointment. She should have been offered an assessment in Sheffield- they do have an assessment location in the city center. If you do get another assessment, you will not be permitted to openly record the session (ATOS are crooks in that regard), so make sure that your recording device is not known to them, or they will terminate the assessment on the spot.

*Peaches* Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Contact Fightback asap, dont ring them and ask for reconsideration yet, because they will just use the same evidence. I and a lot of others have been through Fightback with fantastic results, and the lady who runs it is often in Sheffield and will come out, do the forms for you, and if required, will attend the appeal with your daughter x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
