Dotty M

Got a letter informing me that my Mandatory reconsideration for my PIP renewal has been unsuccessful and they have still awarded me 0 points. Citizens advice will now assist me in going to tribunal, she can't understand how they have come to the decision they have given the evidence I have provided. This means I have to continue on without my PIP payment for months until tribunal. Seeing PIP and disability cuts talked about as if it's a football game in the media is so frustrating! It literally makes work [un]affordable for me. I'm sick of seeing it talked about as an out of work benefit. If M.P's don't even know what it actually is, how can they make an informed vote on it. Makes me want to get myself elected into parliament! I'm sure I'd do a better job of it.
