I been for a court appeal twice and won. After a review earlier this year I was awarded the standard rate of mobility. I get other help and allowencies as well because I live alone and have learning difficulties so exempts me for paying towards council tax or any extra rent that the Torys bought in in 2010 or 2011 with the benefit cap. I had a few people on Facebook that work intimidate me by telling me they hope I lose my appeal and am made to get a job. They all got blocked. I have even had people commenting saying I get to much money with all the things I got and they work and cannot afford it. I just tell them do something about it in you workplace and stop being an arse kisser if you are one and join and union if there is one. You should all stick together and demand. Employers know by keeping some of you divided there is less chance of problems like striking. They also have a lot of agencies workers now as well to prevent striking. Reminds me of Oliver Twist and please sir can I have some more.
Thank you Stu for all your information. Take care.
Thank you for making these really helpful videos!
My husband has been waiting for the Tribunal over a year now & still haven’t got a date… He has mental health surely the telephone assessment isn’t right for someone suffering cognitive issues too.
So helpful thank you! Waiting for a PIP tribunal date. Started the process in Feb. So agonising waiting n waiting!! Your vids are brilliant! Thanks.
People on disability benefits are treated as criminals. No matter their illness, no matter how or why they have their illness, they are are treated like footballs, kicked from pillar to post, the system let's them breath a little then trys to drown them. Stu what you're doing is like light shining through the water and giving a helping hand to many. It's rare these days. I take my hat off to you.

Hi are there particular illnesses that automatically guarantee you get pip?
My mate was told by a benefits officer this yrs back who took his case to court
( Although benefits officer was well paid for such i add regards travel from another part of the country
and doing his job re paper work in which conflicting letters were arriving in his door and he could not handle such
and so once officr arrived at his address then checked his papers and one or 2 phone calls was made to both Dwp and Jcplus office ..Man was paid £600.00 at that time to travel to Scotland and was good with paper work and can speak as knows inns and outs of benefits ..made calls after checking the letters and said they have tried con him and also seen conflicting letters ..Also mate had put in an appeal against job centre plus woman who was rather rude on phone ..But sadly she got away with it as not enough evidence against her ..Why mate should have taped phone call ..Always tape phone calls .
Anyhow the officer he took my mates appeal and my mate also had to speak up and won the case
this was a good 6/7 yrs ago now ..Anyhow mate had thought about Pip also at that time , this after he won the case against Atos decision in that appeal ..and benefits officer had said to him this after my mate asked should he put in for Pip now ?
Why dont you put in for Pip as everyone else does he was told by the officer ..But my Mate never bothered with putting in for pip in his thoughts that more £s you get from them , then the more they shall be after you
( My mates thoughts only ) he just wanted peace of mind more than anything
So far he's had peace ever since regards benefits ..He had at time as said got in a benefits lawyer as he was being messed about by the job centre plus staff ..and also letters in his door by them and also Dwp ..But lawyer got that seen with by 2 phone calls ..Job centre plus were trying to con my mate into thinking he was in for appeal at the time against Dcision by Dwp as he thought he was in for appal at time ..but all time he was not in for appeal and his benefits lawyer arrived just on time and two phone calls settled such just on time .JCPlus stoff would say on phone to my mate ..I know your in for appeal but as things stand u have to turn up to job centre and Benefits lawyer sorted that out as said just on time as is a deadline and with them 2 x calls settled he was in for appeal ....And won his appeal as said way above ..He never ever did care to put in for Pip to this day ..and is under mental health as yet and on strong meds .
Only one I know off is that you have not long to live but also from my understanding it is not what you have but how it effects you
Here is my guidance on that question czcams.com/video/9ol5MYXVnYU/video.html
@@injusticemattersuk4744 I have the lower pip but who I did it with who does hundrest said they should have given me higher, so waiting for a hearing date, in my eared it is 31 weeks then it needs to be a extra five weeks for you to be able to phone up and ask someone to do anything, really should not take this long and if pip was being more tr I truthful and giving people who are unwell the correct amount then their would not be this silly long list, also do not like pip as you have to go into how things effect you each day, and tbh I want to not think about that but what to start feeling more myself, taking twenty five tablets everyday plus inhaler, pills are for pain
I got more points on appeal than by the person who scored me because the appeal person took the time to phone me to clear a few things up that didn’t make sense on the medical assessment done by capital and once I answered honestly she gave me the missing points and apologised for the screw up as what I said made more sense than what the so called medical examiner had put in their statement also she had family with my conditions and even told me that the medical examiner had seemed to 1 be changing certain things I’d said and also playing down the illness which is not in their job description but about the changing what I said she found this out listening to the recording and reading what the examiner had put and it didn’t match what id responded always ask to be recorded it puts you in safer place and if the do lose it it looks worse for them than you
The assessors are paid bonuses to lie in there reports. They have to make sure a certain amount of people lose the disability benefit.
I also had my assesser say I was carrying my bag which was an outright lie...my ex carried it I never carry it
@@kitkat7491 bit different I said my best mate brought me back sandwich the assessor said I said I’d made it which the appeal woman questioned me on and said I thought I heard you say that on recording telling you the assessors lie because it’s in their interest
@deanjohn433 kinda the same except I'd need video evidence
@@kitkat7491 it’s a disgusting system
oh god that was draining
I have just been told i have failed and wont get limited capability. I struggle everyday to walk my son to school just looking after my son and keeping on top of house is too much for me and i only just manage.
So now im supposed to add 30 hours work onto that 😢
I have called up for the mandatory reconsideration and they will ring me by 6 tomorrow. Nothing but stress and makes peoples mental health worse. If i could stay on the same money and just be left alone i would
Make sure you appeal if that doesn't work.
@@StuartMcGoo I am still waiting the answer for my mandatory reconsideration and apparently I am to actively look for and apply for jobs. Surely can't be right, what happens if I get a job just not turn up. 🤔
If you are physically capable but have mental health problems and are Neuro divergent your in for a fight.
Stuart My son won his appeal over six weeks ago and it was backed dated to 2020.
The DWP did not turn up.
He is still waiting for his back dated money and to bring his payments up to date.....What can i do about this to help him?.....Hope you can HELP. Kind Regards Heather
I called UC helpline and they sent did a mandatory consideration form on their end, saying I have to wait back to hear a response. Is it better to come from them or from myself? Please help asap it was cut off due to not accepting commitments but I always did, an appointment for a commitment review was coming up but it was in the future, then my claim got closed before it could even happen! How is this fair.
Just got a call back and turns out that initial helpline person did not raise a mandatory consideration, instead they handed it over to someone else? So they lied? And I had to argue with the other guy for a while to figure this out, he was the one who raised the mandatory consideration form for me then and there and hear back within 28 days. I do not feel he advocated for me in a fair way due to our initial disagreements, I did not have a chance to fully explain the situation nor what was said to me in the initial call. I’m feeling so defeated.
He told me that apparantley after reporting a work change there is 7 days to accept new commitments on the to do section, which is simply not true I did not see anything on there, except a commitment review appointment in the future! How can I accept new commitments without a commitment review? This is so unfair!
It is and I think by the sound of that you would have grounds for appeal. I would find support from someone to help you with that.
Can you claim Attendance Allowance if your partner on pip please
