So pleased to have found your channel, have had such issues with ESA & PIP. I went from DLA in 2019, to have to apply for PIP in April 2019. I was attending an M.E. /Fibromyalgia support group, there was an older man without illness/disability, he was a carer for his wife with M.E. He had done many, many applications for ESA, DLA & PIP. He did my ESA late 2018 & I stayed in the support group, without a WCA, amazing. Got that news in early 2019, thought I could relax a bit, but the PIP form arrived😥😮 Anyway, I got standard PIP for both components, for 6 years, thought I should have more, but wasn’t prepared to risk losing it. I am now 62, moved to a sheltered bungalow last April, got an extra few months added to PIP, (during Covid, don’t know why) taking me to 2026. I have been warned I will get a review form around 2025 & dreading it. I have been done out of state pension at 60, have to wait until age 67. This means another 4 + years of ESA (possible move to UC) & wanting to keep PIP after my pension age. Hope I can find help on this channel🙏

I know this system is difficult for the vast majority of people, but it is so important to just state the facts of how your illness affects your daily life. It's a lot more straight forward and simple if you just answer the questions you are asked, and not waffle on about other things as it will not help your outcome. I wish it was a better system, but this is what we have. PIP can make your life easier as you can then afford maybe a taxi sometimes, or even a cleaner once a week.... and a blue badge is a game changer when you go anywhere in a car.

Incredibly helpful, thank you. I was turned down initially (ptsd, anxiety etc), but was awarded enhanced rate for daily living and lower rate for mobility when I requested mandatory reconsideration. I had help from a senior welfare officer for the initial application that was turned down, but handled the MR myself. Have been given 2 weeks to complete and send in my review, so have found your channel incredibly helpful.

I have just recently applied for a blue badge for my mum who gets disability and also enhanced mobility of PIP, her circumstances have now changed and she should be entitled to the enhanced rate of care also, as she has severe CFS (ME) and is bed ridden the majority of the time. When applying for her I found out that you are automatically entitled to a blue badge if you are awarded the enhanced rate of PIP in the mobility section with 12 or more points. She now has the blue badge and it has been a real life saver/changer for her and also family, friends and carers trying to help her get as near as possible to places, giving more leg room with parking spaces, it has made a massive difference.

I wish you well with your youtube channel Charlie, it is certainly needed as there is so much really terrible advice out there. I am sure in time your channel will get really big as more and more people are looking for help with their PIP claims. When i first applied 6 years ago my initial face to face assessment was horrible, but only because the lady that was doing it was abrupt, rude and not at all friendly. However, i did win PIP and then later when i had another face to face assessment when they reviewed my claim the lady i had that time was so lovely, friendly and so, so helpful.... at the review i had my PIP increased which was amazing..... i think the reason my claim was so successful was because i just stated how my disability affects my daily life and my mobility, and i didn't get side-tracked at all.

Sounds like my previous review, had one review when they stopped it, just twisted what I was saying and made some of the things up so I'd have no hope of getting it. But the last review though was by them a new application for some reason ended up lasting approximately 2 and a half hours, was great and got the same level of award as I got when after taking it to tribunal (extended, which when going through the descriptors before the tribunal I kind of knew I'd be entitled to, with the advice of a support site, but sadly forgot which one it was).

Charlie do you have any advice or experience in filling out a renewal form? Would it be suitable to simply put "No change" in all the boxes if that is the case? When reading the forms it can be interpreted that you only give details if there are no change. I'm not sure about this, if it is a trick or something.

I also should have mentioned that I have terrible trouble with normal bras, even the ones without wires would cause awful pain and reflux. I since have found TEMU, they do bras and vests (which do not ride up and feel like thermal ones) that have no catches, no wires, and are stretchy and so easy to put on. I am a size 16 and have ordered a size 2xl (but an xl would do) as I don't want to mess about with sending them back. Wearing these makes it feel like you are not wearing a bra at all. I absolutely love them and now own 10+. To begin with you will find some amazing deals so get them then, and sometimes there are deals for 90% off.

This is really helpful video. Thank you. Recently, I’ve submitted my PIP Review form for mental health with conditions like PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and OCD. Everything is the same as it was before, except I had some new medical reports to submit, relating to oral care which came under Eating and Drinking. For the rest of the form, I wrote in every single box, repeating the same for each box, like, Everything is still the same. I still struggle with daily living as before and still need the same help. Something along those lines, but I fear now when they complete my PIP Review form it will come back as 0. When I asked a lady at a local charity, a lady there said, if nothing has changed, just state no change, but I noticed on the PIP Review form it’s different from the copy I was sent from the local charity which had a box you can tick, no change. So I feel while I’m waiting to hear back about my PIP Review, I should write up for each task, except Eating and Drinking how it affects me, but I wrote all this before and nothing has changed, so, I’m just repeating it all over again, adding a few more different examples from my dairy, and how a typical day affects me for each task. I’m getting anxious as I write this, imagining the worst case scenario. The charity that helped me apply for PIP is very busy, and I’m not sure they will be able to help me again, should I have to appeal. It’s so unfair, when your condition is still the same, except my oral care, PIP put you through all this all over again. When I submitted my PIP Review form, I took no chances and resubmitted existing medical reports, incase they don’t have them when making a decision about me, as well as new medical reports for oral care.

@CharliesJourney 7 ай бұрын

Hello! The local charity is correct, if there is no change, simply write 'no change' or tick the box for 'no change' For the one area there is a change you did the write thing and put in more detail. Did you check the points regarding Eating and Drinking and then word it in a manner that PIP will clearly understand? Thanks Charlie

Hi Charlie, I need to hand form in this week (this Friday). Can you please shed any light on following. 1. As space is limted in the sections can I include a word document like you've written and make reference or is it a must to hand write on form?? As due to list of health issues and medication the additional notes section is 70% full already and I am now commencing to fill in Section 3: onwards. 2. I have got lots of discharge letters from A&E, my specialist letters (Renal), CBT discharge letter and current treatment on ankle, since initial assessment. Is it still advisable to have a letter from GP (It's done, but some detail is wrong so hopefully should be sorted - but 100%).

Hi, 1. If you have filled the space you are putting too much detail. People only take in about 10% of written word. Reduce so you get the important bits across. 2. Discharge letters are NOT needed for a claim form (they will check with your GP about diagnoses. I only submit evidence in Mandatory Reconsideration and Tribunals. Focus on the POINTS Watch this one, I think this is my best guide to date and the points are in the description of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jL90jLeJl7PQYY0.html Good luck xx

I had to go through everything you can name it as my mental state was extremely bad and PIP interview had taken me out completely, I felt helpless no one could help me because I was not able to explain anything anymore. I became bed ridden. Now after 4 years I’m just about 50% improving because nothing else matters anymore except some peace. I can’t show my inner self, but if it was possible people could understand me. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢. I just want to be normal again so that I never have turn to this part of life again. I’ve come along way, I don’t want drop again because of this. So many people don’t understand how PIP works, so thy criticism is always there. My mental health and physical health is not 💯 yet but all benefits give me more stress and anxiety. 😟 mentally unstable me. I alway struggle of saying I’m not okay. Which leads to misery for me after. You can’t see mental damage in obvious circumstances. 😢I don’t think I can ever explain my self that’s how much harder life gets for me. Over thinking is a mental disorder. I blank now my brain is shattered.

Have you got any advice for people suffering with 'only' mental health issues? I've suffered with OCD for decades now, usually I'm quite capable of powering through but I've just been completely destroyed by a bad relapse the past six months and I've lost three jobs in as many months because I physically can't do it. I'm an emotional wreck and suffering with horrendous insomnia and depression to boot. The way that the questions are asked seems like it's almost designed to dance around mental health issues. Like for instance; yes sure 'I can' force myself to cook but most days I have absolutely no energy or willpower to do so. And yes, 'I can' wash myself, but the problem is I end up having numerous baths a day and spend hours in the bath as part of compulsive behaviour.

@CharliesJourney 7 ай бұрын

Hello, I think you are right. PIP seems to focus more on physical abilities and mental health is not taken into account as much as it should be. I think you do the same as anyone else. You clearly explain how much your condition limits you. About eating, you explain how many days a week you simply cannot cook. It does not matter if it is fatigue due to arthritis or due to depression. Fatigue is fatigue and is life changing! The first Tribunal guide I have online (for Wendy), we won due to her mental health NOT her physical conditions. The Judge, Doctor and Disability Specialist were extremely understanding. You have communicated how difficult it is for you in a EXCELLENT way here, you need to do that for PIP. But please please follow my guidance to ensure you get the right message across to them! Let me know if you have any questions and I will try and help Charlie

Hi I got 11 points altogether but they split it and said that 6 was for one part and the other was for 4 mobility I struggle to socialise with other but because I can where there there's loads of toilets but if I go out it's different cuz I have to ask and they refuse me and the toilets are not clean but at work there is four toilets and they are clean and I can use every one of them whenever I need but because of this they said they disagree and said I can go and socialise

When I received my ATOS form I was marked down drastically on the points even though my friend and social prescriber interjected on the telephone review. She contradicted so much. Annoying!

Hi, it was a paragraph in the mass of letters they sent with the outcome. I have it on my list to dig it out and share it.......have a good look and I promise I will do a video on it as soon as I have helped the people I am currently working with. I am so glad you focused on that bit, she was amazing and the aids massively help me on a daily basis x
