I have just been turned down for Pip, this has left me feeling a complete mess.
Despite me telling the assessor that I can't do any walking outside of the house, they are saying that I can walk over 50 metres! So I only got four points for mobility. The assessor also said he observed me walking a few metres with a normal gait, I got up because he asked for a tissue.
I had explained I can move around the house because I am able to rest when I need to!
Seems to me that they just out and out lie.
I got four points for the daily living, even though I can't do any cooking and need my daughter to wash my hair for me.
I will be appealing but the whole thing is just making me feel so stressed and I can't stop crying, this illness is bad enough with out all this crap as well, makes me feel like giving up.
My life couldn't get much worse right now.
