hello, this is my first post, PIP appeal

hello, I am an abuse survivor and suffer of e-PTSD, I claim ESA (income after having to leave Uni, partly because the DWP couldn't handle such a complex case) from IB but I was put in WRAG then lost my benefit while at Uni due to 12 months time limit. I was told to appeal which i did(Gordon Birtwistle ex-MP stood up in parliament and asked IDS to start the benefit changes in Burnley where they made a complete mess of) where I should have asked for a supersession according to the tribunal judge. I lost 12 months benefit but eventually I was moved into the care group, it has been living hell, I asked Gordon the MP at the time to look into it but all i got was a print out of all the decisions, couldn't make head nor tail of it?

I've never really wanted to rock the boat and didn't claim for DLA, after my dad passed away, then my step dad passed in July 2014, my mental health has deteriorated where I was diagnosed with extreme complex post traumatic stress disorder....nightmares, flashbacks hyper vigilance, internal explosions and the feeling if I committed suicide id make sure my abuser went with me? hence not leaving the house. so I applied PIP on the 14th December 2013, I had the medical in October 2014. I only got 2 points total.

I appealed and asked for a mandatory reconsideration where they removed the 2 points (I think out of spite tbh) despite a letter from my Uni warning me about aggressive behaviour, countless letters from my doctor, psychologists, diary.....

in the medical for PIP she said I had been mistreated by my doctor and I should see a psychiatrist, which I have. he has prescribed me anti psychotic medication, he said he would write to them or me. I have now lodged an appeal and I have just received the letter that the appeals report should have arrived, which it had.

I have followed the appeal guide from this site, but it didn't work, challenged presumptions that the DWP medical examiner thought i; understood my treatment more than I actually did, and that my condition fluctuates so much its difficult to put a typical day. I also advised I had 6mg of diazepam 3 x 30/500mg co-codomol 200mg sertraline to get through the door as I had a serious panic attack going to my ESA medical 2 weeks after the funeral.

my mum was with me and was told I would indeed get enough points, but at the end of the day its up to the DWP oh don't worry he not ready to commit suicide yet.

I called the tribunal advising them about a month trial for the anti psychotic increasing the dose, and that if im in the tribunal I may appear aggressive and after 1 1/2 year of pip, I just might explode.

the Dr advises I need to complete the triangle

drugs

therapy care

PIP/DWP failed to understand suffering depression is a symptom of PTSD not the illness itself and if you do to not have a CAT scan, ECG or x-ray to show them your lying. to me medical report seems to indirectly compare me to someone in a vegetative state, or that I wasn't throwing chairs about in a rage (with PTSD its internal rage) so your either 0 or full?????

just to top things off because my step dad was terminally ill during my exams, I didn't complete Uni and that now has turned into a massive dispute, but that's a different worry.

I find it very difficult to ask for help after being let down so much but has anyone had the same issues, could anyone advise me?

kind regards

thank you, I have altered my account to remove my last name.
sorry but you misunderstood me but it is a long post...but i was guessing that unless there is a CAT scan in front of the assessor they don't believe the claimant.
I focused on prompting for eating, getting dressed, cooking showering cleaning, long periods of sleep then days of anxiety. i don't go out unless with someone as im afraid

I've been unable to eat properly for weeks at a time (i have a problem with food not i cant be bothered to eat, in fact i have likened it to self mutilation by starving myself) with out humiliating my self it has got bad....

basically if i had to bump into my abuser i don't know how i would react, and my dreams are constantly playing this out from one extreme to the other, ive been disturbed for days over my nightmares. one of them i had to rip open my chest to put my hand around my heart and squeeze it to start it, it was real to me....

Also part of my abuse involved the shower, hence the problem with it...

i have got to the points where i might as well let it all out...it has been the most humiliating and degrading process that is cruel and inhumane, i wouldn't treat my dog like that.

oh I did do both descriptor of d, provided the letter from Uni saying it had already happened? i told her about the harm to others but it never appeared in the DWP response to my mandatory reconsideration, i have mentioned it in my appeal to the court.

yes i have given them letters, and i am waiting for a letter from my psychiatrist, but they don't seem to make any difference with the DWP?

i genuinely feel like they are trying to find any excuse not to award me, but the medical team are saying you need this care or i with be going round in circles??

I called the courts advising them of my behaviour can change if under stress, in my case I react like I thought I should have when being abused during 12-15 age which has wired my brain differently.

I was told 3 months wait for the tribunal but I then got a tribunal date of 1 june, how can a prepare for less than 2 weeks notice due to bank holiday, my psychiatrist advises me I must go and can only issue a report at the request of the court. I have just had a serious allergic reaction to some anti psychotic meds so who whos what will happen Monday, my carer is away but my sister can attend
