Applying for Personal independence payment for mental health Vlog 2

[@JustmefeefeUniquefee]

Hi I applied in November and got the form in December sent it back January and had my assessment 2 weeks ago just received letter saying no. It's so sad cos they really are telling you they don't think your suffering even with medical evidence.

Thank you for part 2

Hi, new subscriber here! Hope you’re well. Thanks for sharing this, it’ll help a lot of people. I’ve recently been put on propranolol. Hopefully this will help with my anxiety. Along with the other self-care stuff I do to sooth it. High cortisol should be sorted to an extent with the propranolol. Adrenaline and cortisol are the hormones that cause anxiety, so I do all I can to lower my levels. Looking forward to your future content 🤗

Wishing you all the luck. I do recieve pip for mental health but it was such a battle and made me even more unwell. Atm i have a claim in under the new pip case law regarding mental health. I was going to make some videos as this affects millions of mentally ill people and there isnt much info about it. But i am too ill to do any videos atm. My only advice is to make sure you record the assesment.

[@emmafay9421]

Thankyou! When you feel well enough, i think it's a great idea to make some videos. I hope you feel better xx

Sandra Margret Can I ask what the new PIP case law is? Thanks

[@charlottejane1183]

@@SarahSmith-ym9ri a high court decided in 2018 that the pip questionnaire and assessment process was discrimatory towards mental health. As a result pip were to review all claims made during 2016 and 2018. I was in that group. They have hardly reviewed a fraction of the people affected. Now agencies such as CAB and welfare rights are telling people to put in a claim for a reviewa dn not wait for dwp to contact you as strong possibility they wont. If you provided evidence of mobility problems or social problems due to mental healh and had this disregarded or ignored, yoy could possibly get that decision over turned under the new case law and the dwp would have to refund you and put you on the correct rate for your condition. There is plenty of info online. Just google pip case law. Hope that helps.

@@charlottejane1183 very helpful. Thankyou.

[@charlottejane1183]

Hello, i came back here to tell you i won my appeal under the case law. It was such a shock. But i am proof it does happens. So if you had an assessment for mental health before june 2018 and you were scored low, make sure to phone or write to dwp to check you are included in the review. If you are not, inform them that you want to be. A review under thr case law will not affect any current claim you have. The leap team cannot reduce or remove your award. If they say they have reviewed your assesment and decided it was correct and if you disagree with this you can appeal it. I also hope OP has had good outcomes for your claim and health.

[@adamtheloser1451]

Evan if they turn you down and the mandatory reconsideration turn you down there is still hope you can apply to go to a independent tribunal. It's such a hard process and to be honest it's made my mental health much worse but be strong.

[@vineetasjourney8017]

I’ve been put on antidepressants for years now and just realised that hormonal imbalance/adrenal issues can cause and also worsen pre existing anxiety. If your cortisol is too high that means your other hormones (which effect sleep, mood etc) are deficient as well as vitamins. Unfortunately, the NHS don’t do much about correcting hormones, you’ll need to go to a private clinic, the top 2 I’ve found are called The Harpal Clinic or London clinic of nutrition, there pricey but they will correct a lot of things, the antidepressants are just masking these ever worsening issues.

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

They keep band aiding symptoms and not addressing causes.

[@JonDoe-wh8ez]

You should try get a support worker or mental health worker to help you if you have to appeal they seem to take them more seriously

[@ayeshapurvis385]

I have no idea what to do bc I’m a mental health support worker applying for my own pip😂

Emma I am having a horrendous time and mostly all caused by this awful benefits system. I have never been so mentally or physically unwell as I am since being moved from ESA onto universal credit.

[@clairefraserbavin8055]

Hey Emma! I also sent my application form to be signed for on delivery. How long was it until they let you know they'd received your application, and how long did you wait until they informed you of when your assessment would be? My support worker is down to take part in my assessment with me, but I'm worried they'll try to give me a last minute assessment when my support worker is unavailable, then make me wait again until he is available. All the best, Claire Xxx.

Hey Emma I’m currently going threw the same thing and awaiting my telephone assesment I’m so anxious about it already and tried to look for the PIPP group on Facebook but I could t find them any chance you can help?

[@emmafay9421]

Hey yes there's a few. Personal independence payment professionals help with phone calls if you need support. They're very helpful. If you search pip personal independence on Facebook you'll find lots of support groups x

@@emmafay9421 I’m soley being assessed on my anxiety and depression, I’m waiting for a psychiatrist app as my mental health nurse and dr thinks I had a personality disorder but due to Covid the waiting time is really long, I have my telephone assesment on the 4th next month and tbh I really am dreading it. Any help would be greatly appreciated like yourself I am expecting it to come back with zero points to start with as that seems to be the pattern with pip. Sad but true that we need to feel degraded and talk about our issues with a stranger just for some help! X

Im in the ESA support group for longterm depression, social anxiety, agorophobia & aspergers. Im unable to work, no friends / relationships & rely on parents for support whom i live with. I submitted a GP letter & my aspergers assessment alongside the questionaire. I had a phone assessment & the result was i only scored 2 points under Mixing With People. Im contestesting it under Mandatory Reconsideration claryfying & correcting the assesors report in a letter. It will probably go to tribunal. If you live alone, have a pet your resposible for, able to work, able to drive a car, have children, have friends or in a relationship then this will all go against you.
