Message: <blockquote data-quote="JasLS90" data-source="post: 2171752" data-attributes="member: 517045">Hi everyone,I have been on DLA since my T1 diagnosis in 1996. Over the summer I received a letter saying I would be moving over to PIP, subject to a successful claim. I went for my interview in September, the woman was very nice and told me she was there to help me. Well today I got my decision letter from DWP. I have several other conditions as well as my T1, including joint problems, a bowel condition and mental health conditions. The letter has basically said there is nothing wrong with me! And some of the wording was very offensive in my opinion, including comments on personal appearance. Losing my DLA is a massive loss to my monthly income. I only work part time. Has anyone else been in this situation? I feel a bit hopeless and I’m wondering what to do next? Would ESA be a good step to try? I feel so humiliated by the whole process. Any advice or comments on personal experiences would be welcomed, thank you.</blockquote>
