"Dear Disability Law Service The following is fairly self-explanatory. My contention is that by not offering a moratorium on disability/sickness benefit re-assessment during lockdown the government is denying fundamental human rights to claimants. DPAC and I would like to know whether or not you feel that there is a case. Thank you." Sent this yesterday. As it turns out I know Penny from DPAC Southampton (she was at Declan Murray's funeral), we have a mutual friend in Tony Twine (friend of D.Cromwell's as it happens), Penny has suggested that I write an article for The Morning Star (I will include the story -I related-, concerning my friend who had to have his dose of anti-psychotic drugs increased and was prescribed anti-depressants following the initial loss of his PIP entitlement), I was going to blog it anyway, now I hope to be able to write for DPAC too. Every cloud. Penny has offered to be with me when I make my PIP re-application. The DWP failed to inform me of the change, I only found out when I viewed council correspondence concerning Council Tax, this stated that I was no longer in receipt of PIP, the DWP, whilst admitting their mistake (I should have been told in November), do not agree that they should reinstate my claim whilst I make my appeal. My advocate and I are contesting this, he hasn't had another client who the DWP has done this to! I am, therefore, having to re-apply for PIP. G |
