I am currently claiming PIP and use my PIP money to help pay for a carer. In the next 12 months or so I expect to receive a review letter/form from the DWP. I am worried that if this new pointing system is implemented and the DWP decide that I don't qualify, what is going to happen to me? I suffer from ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, Raynauds Disease, and Arthritis amongst other things. All this stress and worry doesn't help my conditions. The thought of having to fill in the claim form is bad enough, let alone if I then had to appeal yet again.
But if I had to, I would!!
I receive PIP after having to give up work in my 50’s due to ill health. It’s a lifeline for so many of disabled people . Not a community I wanted or thought I would ever join as I had previously had good health and worked full time. Like most people I took my health for granted. It’s not until you become too ill to work and have to rely on benefits just how degrading the whole process is. PIP is the most degrading process I have ever had to go through
This petition is important to those of us who struggle to maintain independence on a daily basis in the face of chronic health problems, we deserve the right to be treated with dignity.
