PIP Appeals but well over deadline date (2yrs) due to unusual circumstances was created by Jay1
HI there everybody! I hope you are all optimal today.
I have a severe long term auto immune condition diagnosed as ME.CFS which has stigma & NHS don't comply with WHO or NICE.
I was on highest rate PIP of both given by a PIP appeals doctor who spent more time with me than the NHS put together.
On review My GP said I was lying about slurred speech and everything I say is brickwalled in spite of signed carer witness
statements and a support letter from a severe ME society listing my symptoms. I have been too ill to appeal so sold my home to pay for carers debts and medical treatments. I find hyperbaric oxygen helps but can no longer afford it and yet again I will have to sell my home (now cupboard size) to pay for carers I've had many years and this treatment especially. I feel ready to appeal now but with brain fog really not fit before. How can the law penalize me from appealing when so much brain fog that I simply couldn't even describe it in short to an advocate who are short of the time I needed. I spend a lot on medical and care B12 injections etc. NHS do nothing.I really need to regain my PIP dropped as accused of lying. How can this be fair and legal? I am at a disadvantage here.PIP blatantly said this in writing. There is no treatment on NHS for ME and I need this benefit restore. Love and Light to all J

Hi Jay1
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.
You are outside the maximum period of 13 months in which to appeal, although I was at a training event a while ago where the trainer stated that you could go beyond that period with good cause. You would need to seek specialist advice.
You can find your local Welfare Rights Organisation to help you with advice by clicking on the link below and putting in your post code, it will then come up with a MAP with a list of agencies in your area advicelocal.uk or lawcentres.org
