PIP renewal dismissed, no letter

Hi esmith

Something does not sound correct with your post, your ESA cannot change because you had an adverse result from your pip.

You do need to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation who will be able to take all your circumstances into consideration; advicelocal.uk

Hi esmith

I am so sorry that you find yourself in such a position.

I know you're having trouble getting to the DWP, but keep trying. As you've been told your PIP has now been declined, I would ring the PIP claim line and tell them that you wish to put in for an MR. Tell them you still haven't had confirmation of the decision and ask for a copy of the assessment report. This will be a PA4 if you had a telephone or video assessment, and it will be a PA5 if you have had a paper-based assessment. Be warned that if you had a paper-based assessment some of our members have been told that no report was written. However, even if no report was written, you need to know why they have removed your PIP. It is difficult to put in for an MR if you don't know the reasons for it.

Don't assume that you can't win an MR and will have to go to Tribunal. I'm not suggesting it's easy - it isn't, but we have had members who have been successful at this stage. Obviously, it's harder if you have no support, but we have some excellent guides to help you through the process. You can return to the forum as often as you need to, and we will try and answer any questions you have.
