Because before labour drew up the plans to slash dla in 2008 wich the Tories carried out the people were complaining disabled get paid to much thats it in a nutshell, iv been disabled for 30 years seen and been a victim of it all, but people think it's just the Tories no its systematic abuse of disabled by all
They are not skint at all. They find money when they want it for something they want. They should be chasing all those who are avoiding and evading tax, holding their money in off shore accounts and shell companies. Get all those monies returned to the UK and the country will be a multi billionaire. Xxxxx
I've been on DLA, then PIP, and have had to challenge the decision a number of times. Stubbled across your chary accident, and have found it very helpful. One disturbing thing hit me, is that, a department set up supposedly to help those that need it, actively does the exact opposite. This can't be right, yes fraudulent claims need to be rooted out, but it would seem that you need to have a degree to navigate all the pitfalls and know the right language to use Lifes bloody hard when you are struggling. without the people supposedly who should be helping us shafting us. Nowonder some off us feel like ending it all
Ah..... So this explains why I got a review form and an invitation to get my state pension 3 weeks apart. To cut a long story short I got breast cancer, got the all clear and then my immune system collapsed. I now have multiple illness and conditions to the point I cant remember all of them. Add to that a diagnosis if Complex PTSD about 5 years later and I am a freaking mess. I have to have the form with them by the 8/08/24 and I am so anxious I can't think. I'm living on valium to stop full blown panic attacks but this feels so unfair. I worked for most of my adult life, good job, yada, yada and now I'm treated like a criminal. This form has to be done and I'm going to have to rise to the occasion but this time might literally finish me off. Charlie, thank you for being a voice of reason for me and others at our most vulnerable time. This whole process is awful. So having a space where I can exist with like-minded others is a God send.
Hi Charlie - hope you get read this - after a four month process, yesterday I received the good news that I'd been successful! An incredibly scarring and appalling process, I never would have believed it. I followed your advice, was clear and honest, didn't allow room for them to do my legs (haha that'd already happened), got help from knowledgable friends. Had a phone assessment. Have to say the people I spoke to were all courteous and appeared empathetic, as much as they could be. Recorded it all with a witness present, and told them so. Charlie - I was inspired and informed by your videos, they made me realise and helped me accept my new reality, and now I'll be in a position to make the best of my altered life. I want you to know how valuable your input was, how you've literally helped me shift from darkness toward light. Well done, and thank you again x
Dear Charlie, I have to say a big THANK YOU for being YOU 😊. I’ve felt so much more human & less isolated through watching your videos. During the bleakest of moments due to my increasing chronic health changes & the vilification of the political targeting of the most vulnerable. The support of your videos & your honesty really helped me to have the confidence to apply for PIP. I finally got a confirmation letter through & it has significant changed the reality of my life, for the better. 🙏 I can actually afford equipment & things to help me function better. Thank you so, so much 🤗
I'm doing the diary and it is eye opening how much you forget you have changed your life due to disability. it is not easy to do but good evidence. I love "I'm crazy good at PIP" what a fantastic line. Thank you for the video :)
My sister who is 18 months away from pension age had her review due a couple of weeks ago. She was very nervous waiting for the phone call and 1 hour after the start time she got a phone call cancelling it as the person was off sick. It eventually took place this week. I came across your videos and told her to watch them beforehand. She did and as a result she felt much more focused and organised and confident in herself and able to get through the 1 hour and 45 minute phone call without getting herself overwhelmed or overstressed. The video about how to deal with questions on how she got about, taxi or lifts and whether accompanied or not was particularly useful as he did, as you suggest in your video, keep asking for more and more detailed information. She remembered your advice and answered accordingly. The chap going through the process was very nice and appeared helpful. Now we just have to wait 8 weeks for the result. 🤞🤞🤞it will be a positive result. If not we just have to watch your videos again and go through the next step of mandatory reconsideration. I know she would not have felt like going through with it before she had seen any of your videos. Thank you so much for everything you do.
The phone calls are SO long, mine was 3.5hrs! I needed a sleep afterwards ! I probably won't make it to my state pension age, almost 20years to go ... but too young to get anything out of my private pop. I'm getting the impression they just want to bump everyone off & steal from both pots ...
Good advice Charlie I will be getting my state pension on my birthday 11th June and my ESA will stop I was awarded enhanced PIP for both backdated from November and this started in February for 10 years so I have ordered and motorbility car that is coming in July so I think I am safe for now I have you to thank, and myself for studying and practicing so if you want to get PIP and deserve it you have to put the work in study and practice watch Charlie's videos and over then you will win good luck all and thank again Charlie you are amazing 🤗♥️
At my previous review I lost valuable points as I was told my evidence was too old but I was too ill and stressed to appeal. This time I gathered proper evidence even paying for a doctors assessment, however that was 14 months ago and I still haven’t had a decision just an email 3 weeks ago saying they would look into it soon. I’m 63 and don’t retire for 5 years but am well aware that they would love to get rid my claim before then. It is a nightmare I have been disabled for 20 years and have had to go to appeal 3 x for Pip and twice for ESA. My condition is one they love to refute M.E, Fibromyalgia and chronic anxiety. On one occasion a home assessment, I was told that I was seen walking 200 yards with no problem, at appeal I asked when did they see me walking ? as I was sitting at home and was told by the judge oh well I think the assessor meant they thought you could walk easily. I shall watch your videos carefully thank you for this channel.
If I met anyone who said they suffer from brainfog I would point them in the direction of researching about a narcissistic personality disorder upbringing. Your videos are a great help to me. Many thanks
I am 77 years of age, I have been relatively fit until around 18mths to 2 years ago when my legs and back have decided they are getting old and dont want to work any more. I am on Pension Credit at the moment. Being an independant and stubborn guy I have been getting on with it and not really visiting my doctor as much as I should. If the pain gets too bad I sit down, take a couple of painkillers and struggle on again. Lately my walking has worsened and in fact I have tumbled a couple of times (luckily only skined knees) this made me buy a small mobility scooter. I have never claimed pip, and have only stumbled upon your videos, is it a waste of time for me to attempt to claim for disablement benefits with me not visiting my doctor on a regular basis.
Unfortunately you can't apply for PIP once you've passed retirement age, you can only get PIP in retirement if you were getting it beforehand. You can probably get Attendance Allowance though.
The government is skint because of all the those people we are paying for living in hotels that arrived here in boats. Those people are costing us billions.
The poor people in hotels, are there sure the gov won't process their applications to be citizens. & can't legally work. The gov deliberately manufactured the situation, to distract people from the real issue, of their massive corruption & mismanagement. Our govs corruption costs us £100s of billions/yr. I don't know how much the hotels cost, but I'll be shocked if it's even £1bn/yr
Hi Charlie Until I seen your video today it had never occurred to me that I became a victim of the DWP and the pension unwritten rules. Back in 2017 two months before my retirement date had arrived I had my mobility part of PIP taken away. I could never understand why but my review was part of the DLA to PIP transition but becoming an OAP and the change to PIP was ever so convenient for the DWP I now realise. Took the DWP to tribunal, they never turned up because our Labour and Tory governments agents like the government themselves are nothing less than cowards that haven’t got the guts to face us face to face and goes without saying the tribunal judge over ruled the DWP and their so say “professional advisors” and full PIP was restored 5 months after my retirement.
You're doing so many such a good service with your honest advice. Thanks. It's like having a mate who you know will be honest and also knows 'their stuff'.
This reminds me of the "Charlie Says" adverts back in the 80's 😂 I have my first telephone interview on Friday. This and other videos have helped me feel a little more confident. Thanks Charlie.
Rishi Sunak has this morning unveiled major changes to the welfare system, saying reform was a 'moral mission' to 'give everyone who can the best possible chance of returning to work'. A PIP consultation is set to be published, looking at eligibility, the assessment process and support to ensure the system targets personal needs and closely links to a person's condition.
The system can 'target' and bring in what ever laws, however employers esp private businesses will do what they like, the hr dragons will do every dirty trick to weasel out of doing anything 'helpful' and do everything they can to get rid of anyone who is likely to have reoccuring sickness, time off for appointments, or need reasonabke adjustments. Companys bank on ppl.not having the funds (or the physical and mental energy) to tske them to court, so they get away with it, time after time. Eg, absence triggers, then performanace reviews ... even just endless meetings nit picking over stuff, it wears you down. Employers have you over a barrel, disabled, abled or (like everyone on this channel) just unfortunate enough to have a chronic illness. Employers want employees who rock up every day, never get ill or injured, never get sick & never need time off. Look how they are when you ask for say holiday, or time off for a docs appt. Gives you a clue ... The gov can bring in whatbot likes, employers will do what they want reguardless of any laws. I fear there is a bigger plan afoot, and it is probably linked to dnr for the vulnerable who can't be conscripted / do other work.
At least 2 years ago, before seeing your great videos, I just entered 'No Change' to all of the questions. I got rejected and had to appeal. I did eventually get it. They hope that'll you'll be so beaten that you'll give up.
❤. Gloves, I have had to buy & wear, “Day-gloves, Night- gloves + spare gloves” £££ gloves are an aid & equipment, i cannot live without them. They protect my hands 24 hours.
Well said, I have SO forgotten about gloves! Like for everything ! From washing up, cleaning, gardening, ffs I have 3 sets of oven & microwave gloves ! AT LEAST 4 PAIRS.FOR GARDENING, OMG GLOVES ! Then ALL the gloves & mittens I have MADE so I can through any chilly spell ....
I had to go to a tribunal twice but now the organisation that helped me win twice has been defunded, I don't know where to turn for help as I find it hard if not impossible to get evidence together, I am thinking of just turning up at the tribunal hoping they have previous records of my cases, I was advised my assessment is over the phone in 2 weeks and know they will deny me the higher rate as they have done in the last two assessments, so know i will be forced to attend a tribunal again to get the higher rate again that i have been on for 12 years now. Been watching a few videos but feel a bit lost, I am 57 so getting into the age range they will try to get me off pip or onto the lower rate. We'll i subscribed and will let you know the outcome.
I was under the impression that you could not claim PIP after you had reached retirement age. I am due to retire in less than 3 months and after watching this video am really worried that they may try to stop mine. I have had no notification to that effect so hopefully I'll be okay but I have a much better idea of what to do if it happens thanks to this video. I agree that the state pension is nowhere near enough. I have worked for 50 years paying my taxes, national insurance etc. And the government reward me with a pension that equates to half the minimum wage! If a company tried to pay me so little they would be prosecuted! I noticed that another person on here had their telephone interview cancelled at very short notice due to the assessor going off sick. The exact same thing happened to me so is this a tactic they are using to scare people from going ahead with their claim?
i have a pip telephone consultation next week 2nd 0ne, after watching vids and reading comment im in no doubt im going to fail it but i wont be appealing and going through months of stress
What pisses me of the most is people claiming pip fuck all wrong with them then getting mobility car with private plates and the dearest of cars then the walking sticks that don't touch ground
Yes I see that thay should just give a standard car same coulour to every1 so thay know thay pip cars u will soon see a massive decline in people wanting a mobility car I have a genuine back problem l5s1 with discs degen and sciatica cant drive or sit down more than half hour with stiffness yet I score 0 a bloke I know says bad back full pip and was under a car other week changing a gear box
Im sixty four and after two and s half years the secretary of state has admitted I should have been awarded pip at the UtT they have also stated the award should be ongoing. The reliability criteria is a legal framework. The DWP cant refuse anyone who fails to meet the reliability criteria.
I’m quite scared now. I did my review form myself. I used to get help from CAB but they are so busy. I reach state pension age June next year. I had a gut feeling I would lose it before then. Then I kept telling myself I was being silly. It’s been over 3 months and no decision yet. I’ve also had to do a new ESA50 form. I applied to go on support group rather than work related. I applied back in November. Despite an apology from their legal department I’ve still heard nothing. I’m scared to chase either of them in case it’s bad news. At least while I’m waiting I’m still getting paid under my current claims.
I'm 60 and due for a review this August but haven't had my form yet. I've being told that there is a backlog of up to 12 months from another channel. I had a stroke in December 2018 but was awarded enhanced PIP on both rates in August 2014, if they take me off PIP and expect me to repay any money from August 2024 until the date they try and take me off PIP then it will put me back on benefits as my savings would fall well below £16,000.
Well done pal am on enhanced pip am getting worse might not be here next year but ma review is due November so a usually tell them no change cause if a have to go for assessment a will lose it am ex forces ma body is fucked and a can't be arsed talking to some young woman when a get agitated
Thanks for your service to us and your country. If you get agitated in an interview that's okay they know it is because of your illness, we all get agitated, if anyone deserves PIP it is you. If you can fight for your country you can fight for PIP, do it Kenny, you really deserve it.
I am 66 PIP stopped my benefits money last Christmas l have had any benefit money for 7 months PIP phone me to say l can claim benefits money l spoke to lady on phone for hour asking me all sort questions l was told form would be send to me fill out form had massage to say l would be getting phone call or have to see member of staff about my claim for benefit money it takes 16 weeks for PIP to decide where you can claim benefits money or not I am getting pension money in three months time which is twice as much as PIP l didn't know where to go through with it all it is so upsetting when you turn down like l was seven months ago now just to stop my money like PIP did
I retire in four days. Review started last September filled in and sent off. Been contacted saying it will be June 2025 before they check my review, I will be paid up till then If they made the decision before I retired I may have qualified for the extra money you get for having enhanced living. But it will save the gov big time if they do this with everyone. Do you know if I do qualify for higher payments and I am much much worse will back pay be given?
I had a review form in Jan. All I get from Dwp is they have my form and will be looked at shortly. This is now 8 months. Okay I still get paid but am now getting worried.
Some people deserve it but jeez I know so many thats laufing about having it for bad ankle bad back heads gone all that then soon thay get accepted sll those systems and stuff go away
hey charlie I'm a new watcher I just want to say thank you I had to do a change in circumstances for myself I have a chronic illness and your video really helped me Now I have to tackled my sons review! how can I contact you thank you
You shouldn't get pip when you reach retirement age unless you are severely disabled you should have to live on your pension the same as a working person
Hi there , coming to retirement age next year (aug ) I already have pip thank goodness and have been given it for 10 yrs . I thought it’s only if you don’t apply for it before pension age that you don’t get it at all , but if you already have it , you carry on until something changes . Will they now contact me next year and try to take it away ?
in 1996 i was told no more sick notes ever and DLA for life,,,but when they changed the name of the benifits im on trail every few years again.doesant seem fare at all
I filled in my form as I spend most of my life in bed with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Then I watched the videos and heard horror stories and could not face going through it so I didn’t send the form back. They’ve now contacted me saying I have as assessment soon. Is my claim still valid? Or will they interview me and then say oh you didn’t return the form yet so get lost. I don’t want to do the interview just to be rejected for not sending the form back yet. Please help me clarify 🙏
My award is a ten year one I’m 64 in September which will go beyond my retirement age of 67 . Will they request another assessment as I reach 67 or just give me an indefinite award automatically. Many thanks
I've just got my pip review going to do it tomorrow with the lady who helped me do it first time my condition as gotten worse I've got dvt going be on blood thinners for rest off my life mental health gotten worse if get any problems give you a message
I don't know if anyone will read this but if anyone can advise I would appreciate it. I don't have a clue how it all works but basically I had polymyalgia for 4 years and I have severe social anxiety, OCD and CPTSD which prevents me from leaving the house. The polymyalgia has now gone so after my last assessment last month they have reduced my money by £600 a month. Is that right do you think?
No it doesn't. If you were getting it before you retired, and you still meet the criteria, it carries on. You can't apply for it after retirement, though.
Me personally am 54 ex forces ma body in bits constant pain 24 7 but am too proud if a gave evidence to pip a would be awarded indefinite but like a said can't be arsed and am serious might not be here next year so fuck them but got letter other day saying am transferring to the Scottish one??????
I filled in my renewal form just over a year ago, may 2023. Two weeks ago i received a text message from DWP to say they had now come to a decision, which i will receive on Wednesday 5th june 2024. Is it normal to get a decision, without even speaking to a claiment, they haven't rang me, sent for a medical, (last time i had to have 3), no home visit, nothing. Do they normally make their decision based on the form that i have filled in, I really dont have a good feeling about this, not slept, eaten or anything since the text message 😢, I will be 56 September 2024
I’ve just sent my review in, I’ve gotten worse since the last review and I told them so and sent evidence. After reading how long you’ve waited I’m now so stressed. Over a year!! That’s crazy
Charlie can you help us claim carers allowance for our disabled foster child he gets pip we keep getting refused but social worker keeps saying we are eligible
We are skint because we bailed out the banks to the tune of billions in 2008, then forked out billions to the Tory cronies during covid, and today we are haemorrhaging money every single week because of Brexit, but there are people out there that always need a bogeyman to blame.
I filled out my review form October last year. They’ve told me recently that they still have my form and they’ve extended my award to April 2025. I am worried though as I did write no change as some of my answers 😢
Hi Charlie, I have a face to face assessment next week that I don't think I'm able to attend due to my condition, I have a Chron’s disease flare-up what I need to do? I need your advice.
Makes me sick pip they lie assement on phone lies have shit loads of paperwork changed review sent all paperwork consultants my health detoraied joke they take piss
Why is no one standing up for disabled people?
Why does no one care about what they have been subjected to for so long?
Because before labour drew up the plans to slash dla in 2008 wich the Tories carried out the people were complaining disabled get paid to much thats it in a nutshell, iv been disabled for 30 years seen and been a victim of it all, but people think it's just the Tories no its systematic abuse of disabled by all

Well let's wait and see what the new government will do the Horrors of horrors start to unfold
Rishi Sunak has this morning unveiled major changes to the welfare system, saying reform was a 'moral mission' to 'give everyone who can the best possible chance of returning to work'. A PIP consultation is set to be published, looking at eligibility, the assessment process and support to ensure the system targets personal needs and closely links to a person's condition.
The system can 'target' and bring in what ever laws, however employers esp private businesses will do what they like, the hr dragons will do every dirty trick to weasel out of doing anything 'helpful' and do everything they can to get rid of anyone who is likely to have reoccuring sickness, time off for appointments, or need reasonabke adjustments. Companys bank on ppl.not having the funds (or the physical and mental energy) to tske them to court, so they get away with it, time after time.
Eg, absence triggers, then performanace reviews ... even just endless meetings nit picking over stuff, it wears you down. Employers have you over a barrel, disabled, abled or (like everyone on this channel) just unfortunate enough to have a chronic illness. Employers want employees who rock up every day, never get ill or injured, never get sick & never need time off. Look how they are when you ask for say holiday, or time off for a docs appt. Gives you a clue ...
The gov can bring in whatbot likes, employers will do what they want reguardless of any laws.
I fear there is a bigger plan afoot, and it is probably linked to dnr for the vulnerable who can't be conscripted / do other work.
Never skint to fund Isreal and Ukraine or Rwanda.
Or their vanity projects
Whilst I agree with your point, what has it got to do with pip?
@chris because they're taking money back from places they shouldn't be
My next review is 1year before retirement.
Thank you so much Charlie, ❤❤❤😊
2 weeks from retirement age. . Been waiting months for review result. . hmmm. .
At least 2 years ago, before seeing your great videos, I just entered 'No Change' to all of the questions.
I got rejected and had to appeal. I did eventually get it.
They hope that'll you'll be so beaten that you'll give up.
I turn 66 this year and my indefinite is up in 2026. Will i have light touch?
❤. Gloves, I have had to buy & wear, “Day-gloves, Night- gloves + spare gloves” £££ gloves are an aid & equipment, i cannot live without them. They protect my hands 24 hours.
Well said, I have SO forgotten about gloves! Like for everything ! From washing up, cleaning, gardening, ffs I have 3 sets of oven & microwave gloves ! AT LEAST 4 PAIRS.FOR GARDENING, OMG GLOVES !
Then ALL the gloves & mittens I have MADE so I can through any chilly spell ....
Ive just sent off my review form thats not suppose to be feb 2025. I retire december thia year, this has been on my mind that they'll kickme off
Well you can clearly type and communicate so why aren't you in employment? Another scammer
Another great video charlie love this woman you are sooooo helpfull🙏
I had to go to a tribunal twice but now the organisation that helped me win twice has been defunded, I don't know where to turn for help as I find it hard if not impossible to get evidence together, I am thinking of just turning up at the tribunal hoping they have previous records of my cases, I was advised my assessment is over the phone in 2 weeks and know they will deny me the higher rate as they have done in the last two assessments, so know i will be forced to attend a tribunal again to get the higher rate again that i have been on for 12 years now. Been watching a few videos but feel a bit lost, I am 57 so getting into the age range they will try to get me off pip or onto the lower rate. We'll i subscribed and will let you know the outcome.
I was under the impression that you could not claim PIP after you had reached retirement age. I am due to retire in less than 3 months and after watching this video am really worried that they may try to stop mine. I have had no notification to that effect so hopefully I'll be okay but I have a much better idea of what to do if it happens thanks to this
video.
I agree that the state pension is nowhere near enough. I have worked for 50 years paying my taxes, national insurance etc. And the government reward me with a pension that equates to half the minimum wage! If a company tried to pay me so little they would be prosecuted!
I noticed that another person on here had their telephone interview cancelled at very short notice due to the assessor going off sick. The exact same thing happened to me so is this a tactic they are using to scare people from going ahead with their claim?
i have a pip telephone consultation next week 2nd 0ne, after watching vids and reading comment im in no doubt im going to fail it but i wont be appealing and going through months of stress
Your videos I've shared with so many people.
What pisses me of the most is people claiming pip fuck all wrong with them then getting mobility car with private plates and the dearest of cars then the walking sticks that don't touch ground
Excatly
0% fraud rate ....by governments own figures
I'm glad your health is ok
What utter drivel u type ....guess u worship the tories 😝😝😝
Yes I see that thay should just give a standard car same coulour to every1 so thay know thay pip cars u will soon see a massive decline in people wanting a mobility car I have a genuine back problem l5s1 with discs degen and sciatica cant drive or sit down more than half hour with stiffness yet I score 0 a bloke I know says bad back full pip and was under a car other week changing a gear box
Thank you for your advice ,very informative ...
Im sixty four and after two and s half years the secretary of state has admitted I should have been awarded pip at the UtT they have also stated the award should be ongoing. The reliability criteria is a legal framework. The DWP cant refuse anyone who fails to meet the reliability criteria.
I’m quite scared now. I did my review form myself. I used to get help from CAB but they are so busy. I reach state pension age June next year. I had a gut feeling I would lose it before then. Then I kept telling myself I was being silly. It’s been over 3 months and no decision yet. I’ve also had to do a new ESA50 form. I applied to go on support group rather than work related. I applied back in November. Despite an apology from their legal department I’ve still heard nothing. I’m scared to chase either of them in case it’s bad news. At least while I’m waiting I’m still getting paid under my current claims.
I'm 60 and due for a review this August but haven't had my form yet. I've being told that there is a backlog of up to 12 months from another channel. I had a stroke in December 2018 but was awarded enhanced PIP on both rates in August 2014, if they take me off PIP and expect me to repay any money from August 2024 until the date they try and take me off PIP then it will put me back on benefits as my savings would fall well below £16,000.
OMG! For real? I’m 66 and was so worried about losing my PIP. So as things are I am on this indefinitely??
Well done pal am on enhanced pip am getting worse might not be here next year but ma review is due November so a usually tell them no change cause if a have to go for assessment a will lose it am ex forces ma body is fucked and a can't be arsed talking to some young woman when a get agitated
Thanks for your service to us and your country. If you get agitated in an interview that's okay they know it is because of your illness, we all get agitated, if anyone deserves PIP it is you. If you can fight for your country you can fight for PIP, do it Kenny, you really deserve it.
Please can you tell me why it mentions 55 years iold in the main screen for the video when the video tends to concentrate pension age?Thank you!
You cant predict this. The government is determined to change pip no matter who gets in government.
Thank you
I will warn my sister x
I am 66 PIP stopped my benefits money last Christmas l have had any benefit money for 7 months PIP phone me to say l can claim benefits money l spoke to lady on phone for hour asking me all sort questions l was told form would be send to me fill out form had massage to say l would be getting phone call or have to see member of staff about my claim for benefit money it takes 16 weeks for PIP to decide where you can claim benefits money or not
I am getting pension money in three months time which is twice as much as PIP l didn't know where to go through with it all it is so upsetting when you turn down like l was seven months ago now just to stop my money like PIP did
I retire in four days. Review started last September filled in and sent off. Been contacted saying it will be June 2025 before they check my review, I will be paid up till then If they made the decision before I retired I may have qualified for the extra money you get for having enhanced living. But it will save the gov big time if they do this with everyone. Do you know if I do qualify for higher payments and I am much much worse will back pay be given?
I had a review form in Jan. All I get from Dwp is they have my form and will be looked at shortly. This is now 8 months. Okay I still get paid but am now getting worried.
Some people deserve it but jeez I know so many thats laufing about having it for bad ankle bad back heads gone all that then soon thay get accepted sll those systems and stuff go away
Does payment of ESA potentially carry on after retirement age too? My friend was never transferred from ESA to PIP - is that a deliberate ploy?
ESA has nothing to do with pip you can get both at the same time. It’s actually ESSA
hey charlie I'm a new watcher I just want to say thank you I had to do a change in circumstances for myself I have a chronic illness and your video really helped me Now I have to tackled my sons review!
how can I contact you thank you
Get ready for a lot more losses.
im 66 next april, i have had a reassessment and they have given me another 10 years before another, will they try to stop my PIP at this stage.?
Too many people false claiming talk about that to.
You shouldn't get pip when you reach retirement age unless you are severely disabled you should have to live on your pension the same as a working person
Hi, I’m seeing online that a one off payment of 455/750 is going to be paid too all PIP recipients next month, is this true?? or just a rumour???
Too late,just before I finally collected my pension my low rate DLA taken by a lying assessor.
Thank you 👍🏻
Hi Charlie I have heard that once you retire,You can’t claim mobility at the higher rate even if your condition worsens?…is this true ?X
I thought it didn't matter what you have money wise..if savings ..or working if part time ..they say they don't take it into account
Hi there , coming to retirement age next year (aug ) I already have pip thank goodness and have been given it for 10 yrs . I thought it’s only if you don’t apply for it before pension age that you don’t get it at all , but if you already have it , you carry on until something changes . Will they now contact me next year and try to take it away ?
in 1996 i was told no more sick notes ever and DLA for life,,,but when they changed the name of the benifits im on trail every few years again.doesant seem fare at all
I thought it’s called the old DLA if you’re over pension age
I filled in my form as I spend most of my life in bed with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Then I watched the videos and heard horror stories and could not face going through it so I didn’t send the form back. They’ve now contacted me saying I have as assessment soon. Is my claim still valid? Or will they interview me and then say oh you didn’t return the form yet so get lost. I don’t want to do the interview just to be rejected for not sending the form back yet. Please help me clarify 🙏
I thought that you automatically went on to assistance allowance?
hi im a penshoner work as fisherman for 30 years im fucked now they want ti stop my pip
My award is a ten year one I’m 64 in September which will go beyond my retirement age of 67 . Will they request another assessment as I reach 67 or just give me an indefinite award automatically. Many thanks
Why or how do people get pip I’m 67 and still have to work as I can’t live on a state pension
I did not know about photo evidence.is it to late after my review.
I've just got my pip review going to do it tomorrow with the lady who helped me do it first time my condition as gotten worse I've got dvt going be on blood thinners for rest off my life mental health gotten worse if get any problems give you a message
Dvt.....that's your excuse not to work? Really?
I don't know if anyone will read this but if anyone can advise I would appreciate it. I don't have a clue how it all works but basically I had polymyalgia for 4 years and I have severe social anxiety, OCD and CPTSD which prevents me from leaving the house. The polymyalgia has now gone so after my last assessment last month they have reduced my money by £600 a month. Is that right do you think?
Can you signpost me to the templates please
Ive tried to message you to book an appointment with you .
How do we get an appointment
What form of communication can i have with yourself to ask 1 to 1 questions plz?
PIP stops at pension age because it changes to attendance allowance
No it doesn't. If you were getting it before you retired, and you still meet the criteria, it carries on. You can't apply for it after retirement, though.
My review will be next year pip award ends nov25. I reach retirement age this Oct 24. Us there anything I need to do?
I hope you let the DWP that you are earning money on here,I assume you are on benefits? Yes and I know you can earn on PIP..
Me personally am 54 ex forces ma body in bits constant pain 24 7 but am too proud if a gave evidence to pip a would be awarded indefinite but like a said can't be arsed and am serious might not be here next year so fuck them but got letter other day saying am transferring to the Scottish one??????
Hi. I have helped people claim pip but wonder if you would help me please?
sorry they are NOT skint; 800 Lords at the House of Lords all get paid £400 per day for 5 days a week do the maths. But no taking them off their KIP
I filled in my renewal form just over a year ago, may 2023. Two weeks ago i received a text message from DWP to say they had now come to a decision, which i will receive on Wednesday 5th june 2024. Is it normal to get a decision, without even speaking to a claiment, they haven't rang me, sent for a medical, (last time i had to have 3), no home visit, nothing. Do they normally make their decision based on the form that i have filled in, I really dont have a good feeling about this, not slept, eaten or anything since the text message 😢, I will be 56 September 2024
It will be interesting what your outcome is.
I’ve just sent my review in, I’ve gotten worse since the last review and I told them so and sent evidence. After reading how long you’ve waited I’m now so stressed. Over a year!! That’s crazy
Charlie can you help us claim carers allowance for our disabled foster child he gets pip we keep getting refused but social worker keeps saying we are eligible
Piss take. The money you're already on for fostering and you want more? This is a joke surely.
Hi so I’m 48 I get pip do you still get it when you turn pension age
Yes, if you still meet the criteria.
Trouble is are the fraudsters watching and listening to your videos and advice too
Spot on....which is 99% of you....there's also people who work in the system who monitor too.
Its called spending money whilst in trillions of pounds in debt.
Funny how all these changes are happening from Labour got in,and we thought the Tories were bad.
We are skint because we bailed out the banks to the tune of billions in 2008, then forked out billions to the Tory cronies during covid, and today we are haemorrhaging money every single week because of Brexit, but there are people out there that always need a bogeyman to blame.
I filled out my review form October last year. They’ve told me recently that they still have my form and they’ve extended my award to April 2025. I am worried though as I did write no change as some of my answers 😢
Hi Charlie,
I have a face to face assessment next week that I don't think I'm able to attend due to my condition, I have a Chron’s disease flare-up what I need to do? I need your advice.
Get a job that you can perfectly do from home. Big deal, you have tummy cramps....poor baby. Lame excuse
Makes me sick pip they lie assement on phone lies have shit loads of paperwork changed review sent all paperwork consultants my health detoraied joke they take piss
They aren’t skint, it’s important not to put forward this myth such as it becomes an accepted truth.
i emailed you, but no response, thank you!!
