- Hello folks! The title on these is always a bum to write because it needs to be something short and catchy like PiP Assessment Declined! to catch peoples eye but it's not the only thing we talk about here, Sheepdog Says is always me going through the week in general.
I got my response from my personal independence payment assessment and they've ignored like 99% of the things I told them and I've had to appeal it. They also weirdly tried to dismiss the autism diagnosis because it was only recent, like it wouldn't have impacted me before then! Weird.
Sounds like the PIP people are thinking you can PHYSICALLY go get a drink, physically go the office, drive etc but not thinking about your mental capacity, memory and confidence to do it.
I managed to get standard daily living pip. However since the assessment I've received my autism diagnosis, today I had a dyspraxia assessment and it seems I meet the diagnostic criteria for that too. And I've been referred for an ADHD assessment.
I've also just been allocated support for 6hrs a week as a result of my social care assessment.
So following all of this I'm debating whether or not to ask for a review of my pip claim to see if I could get a higher rate. But I'm reluctant because I'm terrified they reassess me then decide to take away the standard rate that they've already been awarded! Pip is such a minefield!
It may be worth asking a third party to help you redo it. I don’t think you have to pay for support etc. It is a minefield though!
@@SheepdogSays Yeah I've emailed my local council's welfare rights team as they helped me with my last review so I'm going to ask them if they think it's worth going through another assessment or if I'm better off "not rocking the boat" and leaving it as it is
They may tow the line though. Someone independent would give you a steer
They say PIP is hard to get but the funny thing is As of April 30, 2024, 3.4 million claiming PIP now and that's expected to reach 4 million by end of 2024. but what worries me how many genuine people are turned down who really suffer day by day
@@deano_bites yep it’s a ridiculous situation really and while I appreciate 4mil is a lot, the money per year is preventative investment. So like it stops someone declining into expensive health issues. It prevents crime out of desperation or exploitation, it keeps people nourished and enables them. So all of that money is spent into a healthy economy and taxed at every point it is spent. If we have a system where everybody pays the tax they’re meant to then this stuff is pocket change for a nation state. It’s very sad to think that so many businesses and individuals will use every inch of our infrastructure from education and buildings and labour to bending rules and ploughing filth into our rivers and then refuse to pay the tax bill to sustain that, out of nothing but greed. Wanting their off shore accounts to inflate 10% more. It’s a lot of short sightedness and forcing people to struggle when they could be thriving. I hate it. We need a sensible restructure that puts people first.
I done 1 bk in novemver few days ago i got my decieion letter its declined shkwed me my pointd all off its wrong i did do a pip phone assesment aswell 1 hour qll info is wrong on it now i hqve to appel it bht it will ve the same bc info is wrong WHAT DO I DO please
Hi! So I ended up speaking to a solicitor who specialises in pip and they wrote a letter for mine to be redone due to how many law breaking mistakes they made. I would recommend seeking some kind of representation if you can, there are different services and groups. TikTok has an account called pip hero with some great resources.
You need to ask your doctor to provide your medical history so you can give evidence of all of your diagnosed conditions, how they affect you, how they limit you etc. They will mess around though. The solicitor said they tend to behave when there’s legal experts involved.
hello i got my pip it was declined But all the info is incorrect on the paper i got 4 points but that only 1 correct the rest is wrong the write up is wrong so i done a appel yestarday now i got to wait again i have proof of this condition it was sent in with them@@SheepdogSays
Hi i got my decieion letter saying they wont give me it i looked at points i got 4 points on 1 of them but all the info is wrong so i had to appel it they went throug asked agree and disagree now i have to wait but i should of got it first time but she put info qll wrong on it
@@rasthedemon they pretty much always decline it the first time. If you write back with all of your medical information from your doctor and go through the criteria 1 by 1 explaining how you are with them that should help. There’s a person called PiP hero on TikTok that seems good for advice too
@@SheepdogSays yeah thanks well i looked up the points aswell and communicating i dont do well with it and mixing with people and preparing food and reading im nit good with those so fat 4 points so qll i need another 4 i should get i looked at pip hero yeah it helped aswell
It's hard to qualify for PIP, there are very specific things that you have to have problems with to get it and you have to answer questions in a very specific way. Also in the assessment they ask questions in a way that can trip you up, you have to state very clearly the things you can't do or have problems with. Get advice from somewhere like Citizens advice and appeal if you can. Also they almost always put things that are untrue in the report they make, it's appalling.
Yep I think if this response doesn’t solve it Il get support on the appeal as I’m certain I qualify for it and I know many others will too.
Did you get rewarded pip at the mandatory reconsideration?
@@ASDAPIX not me personally but I know people who have (I haven't applied for PIP)
I’m on the judge panel thing at the moment. Will see how it goes. I’ve sent so much evidence their way it ridiculous tbh. They sent me it back printed out for my records and it’s such a thick lump of paper.
@@SheepdogSays Good luck. The thing you not only have to prove that you have the conditions you have but also that they affect your functioning in ways that qualify you for the benefit!
I'm interested in a pip video. I recently found out that I have fibromyalgia. I hate having to go to work it kills me and I can't keep pace with the rest of them like I used to.
Sucks to hear. Hope you can find a way to get work on side with supporting you. I don’t know whether to work on a pip vid before my final outcome or after. I guess the info remains the same either way!
at 23 I need to book mine in but I've had other injections I'm working around so not gotten to covid yet. you need to appeal pip they're known for saying no especially if its the first time applying youve got to just push through it with them, also have you also looked into the govs access to work its a grant to get things to help in the office
I did look at access to work but I think accessing it puts some extra burden on work and ultimately achieves a goal I’d rather not pursue as WFH is so much better all round for me if that makes sense. Hoping the appeal works out nicely.
Having done dofe someone has to sign our off saying want you have achieve and have done correct time amount
It looks like she’s planning to go to the local pet refuge and her skill is going to be learning Korean. I have a Korean friend I can ask for info on there. Though I’m not sure what their expectations will be.
@@SheepdogSays Learning Korean though what? What is the plan for physcial?
@@EmilyBattersby yeah I need her to explain the Korean plan hahaha. Physical she started mumbling so il get her answer tonight. She said that part was sorted. So I imagine she’s arranged it with school.
GP practices aren't known for being the most disease free places so that might be why you've been asked to go in
With anything involving government aid, saying you're on the verge of not being able to cope will generally illicit a response of "you don't need it just now, call back when you do" and it's the worst thing but I get the reasons why
People I know who get that sort of stuff were only really able to do so because they only ever gave worst case scenario situations and said how the collapse of their life was already underway and such
The evidence is a real pain though, I'll need to see if I can get more info from peeps about how they managed that
Doing videos on the topics that you are talking about would be an incredibly valuable resource for sure 👀👀👀
I look forward to these when they get made c:
Makes sense. Didn’t consider that! Protecting them.
You’re right. There are clear guidelines though and they almost convince you that it’s perfectly reasonable for you to set lots of alarms and rely on a small army of people to get by. When the guidelines state any help like that is a need that should score points etc.
Trying to decide whether to research and crack on with the PiP one or wait till I’ve finished the process fully. I should hear back within 8 weeks. Maybe il do it soon then update after mines done.
Hello pal. I work a lot in helping people get pip so if I can help in anyway let me know.
Nice will do if they don’t play ball
Ooh I happened to see this and be reminded as was reading a new comment , I have my judge panel review coming up on October 12th. I’ve sent so much evidence their way now and so much info. To the point where i outlined where I meet the criteria using help online. I don’t know what to expect though. It all seems wildly inconsistent and as predictable as the weather
The reason you were jabbed before your Mum is the new booster is a little more risky to vulnerable people,
Ah that’s interesting! Reassuring I guess too haha
Nearly 7 minutes before you started talking about the purpose of the video. You are full of waffle. I tried my best to listen to you, but gave up in the end. An assessor would do the same. They expect you to answer questions directly. Being able to get to work shows the assessor that you don’t need help with directions.
I’m not serving you a meal you paid for at a
restaurant. I couldn’t give a toss if you liked it.
Nobody in the world is interested in hearing your opinion on what they do. Try to remember that the next time you feel the urge to type something, then don’t bother 👍🏻
i dont understand why u applied for pip considering your well enough to work and have a full time job dose not add up really
Because my health is declining to the point that I qualify for it and it’s affecting my full time job.
People work through illness due to lack of options. There are people that work so their mental health does not decline.DWP state you can work and still claim. I work ft but I’m in agony with musculoskeletal issues and fibromyalgia. I work and sleep that is my life. People claim as to reduce hours but they are contributing to the system. This however isn’t recognised, it’s the usual British system do little …get more. This is a sad situation.
Just because somebody has a job does not mean your not entitled to pip it also does not mean your on your death bed .
