[QUOTE="teasytux, post: 2186337, member: 32376"] Hello fellow members, I'm sorry to hear what you're going through Jasls90...As other members have said, do the mandatory reconsideration & then appeal if that doesn't help you. The citizens advice are a good source of help plus online there is advice on what to do. A well known search site has good sites to help. My Indefinite DLA was ended last month, November 2019 & I had to claim PIP.. I received standard care but my mobility was stopped.. Was a shock! I asked for the Atos report & couldn't believe how much was edited out & what can only be deliberate lies by the assesor.. I am so cross, it is unbelievable what's going on. I'm in the process of applying for the mandatory reconsideration.. Getting the medical documents takes so long, I'm already past the 28 days. Apparently, according to the DWP man I spoke with, about all this, legally you have 13 months he said, in law to get the decision looked at again & I've that recorded. I've spoken to people about my situation & they couldn't believe the decision. What makes me really cross.. I've been told from some people that they know of someone who is lying to PIP & getting full allowances.. So much for weeding out the con people! I've been type 1 since 1972, all but a year of my life & have awful Neuropathy in both legs, arms & hands, feet. Autonomic Neuropathy affecting stomach & bowel & heart rate plus Retinopathy. My retina photos look like a battleground on mars. There are people much worse off than myself. I don't like having to rely on benefits to exist but have no choice. I only hope the reconsideration & appeal process, not just for myself but for everyone going through, have positive outcomes. I never would have thought we'd still be in these types of situations in the 21st century... Good luck to all Tux [/QUOTE]
