[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1931095, member: 32193"] I have recently had my PIP claim checked a year early, they said it was so in a years time it will make things easier. The assessor who came out was very rude, he would ask a question and you would start to reply and he would say i need to know about today not any other time. How are you to explain when he was there at 9 am i asked him if he had read the form i had filled in then yes he had. So i asked him what he new about transplant,mental health, nerve damage, effects of diabetes or medication and pain management, he did not reply so i asked what his job he said movement specialist. He was a physio i got the report which he had done and it said that i did not try hard enough on a hand exercise but i got it, what i have taken from it is you have to tell them about the worst day you have ever had and tell them that. I asked all 6 consultants i see if they had a letter off PIP and none of them had. I now have just filled in a ESA form in which is the PIP form with the questions in a different order, so i phoned the ESA and said they should contact Pip they said no, i asked could i photo copy the answers off the form, no was their reply. Having asked the difference about the forms I was told that consultants need to be contacted and ESA was GP so i explained that know one has contacted my consultant and also the information off the consultants was not included even though i sent it with the PIP form. So i have sent in the form with 34 sheets of information from everyone i see and also copied the letters and told them that i have done this. The only problem is if they want a face to face meeting it is the same people who do the PIP one and they do not do home visits but i have found out they do. The Government want you off PIP because for how long you wait to appeal it makes good figures but what they don't tell you is that ATOS who have messed two government contracts but have the medical one under a new name. Nearly 78% win their claims and get the money back dated but ATOS still get their £3000 for saying you don't qualify, the government make a loss on it but if they had their way they will be happy so see us die.
