SAR done with PIP - questions obout SAR.

Hi - me again, sorry...

I sent in my MR but havent heard they recieved it yet.. will phone and check tomorrow I guess. it was a bit brutal though, but they made a mess of my life so I am done with sitting back and taking it... anyhooo..

I just got my PIP SAR back and there are a couple of things I don't understand.

one is a page that says Component details, there is a little box underneath with my name and `from case start` which says YES
then under that is Suspension status which says active, Does that mean my claim has been suspended? no payments etc? is this due to the MR?

then there is a benefit delivery case details which reads

recommended review date changed from 2028 to 2027
light touch review changed from blank to NO.



there was also a comment on the back of a page that says `advanced customer support concerns ` what does that mean or is it just a header on the page?


thank you

Thank you so much, I really do appreciate the time people and yourself have taken to answer my - what probably sound like dumb questions... you can thank my neurodivergent brain

perhaps you can tell me though - do they stop your pip while the MR is going on?
I did get a text late last night - weridly- to say they are doing an MR and should hear in 8 weeks.
I do need to send more evidence and I made that clear but how long do I have to get that back to them? I am waiting on a psychiatirsts letter and 2 SARs

with the MR I did send a tribunal report froom 2002 from DLA which I won btw. And I am trying to find things that prove my difficulties and that they have existed my whole life. But they were dismissed and I have been left deprived of being able to access the support I need and needed.

Thank you

thank you.

my pip coc was awarded as the same daily living standard award. I am challenging that as they continuously keep using my disabilities against me in order to not award me what I feel I should be getting.

therefore my MR consists of some evidence of my medical notes showing how I am unable to access specialist input due to how my ADHD/Autism have affected me my whole life. these are photocopies of letters from various people such as physiotherapists and psychologists where I have either failed to keep the appointments or failed to manage them and have been discharged.
letters from doctors about the issues I have had, to prove this has been ongoing throughout my childhood into adulthood and results from a DLA tribunal from 2002 which I won. showing the descriptors I was scored on. Although these differ from the PIP ones it is very clear to see I have been saying the same things over and over in different ways but haven't been listened to.
I am currently waiting on 3 SARs one from the hospital/clinical mental health dept and one I put in to see if there are any records held from my schooldays.

While I have challenged their decision this time, I feel that over the course of my life I have been historically penalised for the disorganisation, inability to plan and manage medication, appointments etc due to ADHD/Autism, and they have used how those affect my ability in order to not give me appropriate support because I am not able to do the multiple steps - planning etc to do that and have no support and they have systemically based their decisions on -lack of specialist input- which I am not capable of accessing and therefore can't that its a breach of my rights as a disabled person and breaches the guidelines set out by the dwp.

This is not all of the evidence or arguments that I have used however just that this is the main one they continue to use to block me from accessing PIP and enabling me to get supports in place to be able to get the specialist input they require.

The only reason I am able to do this now is because I am not working, but especially because I got a ADHD diagnosis and awaiting an autism assessment (although I did include a GP summary from my GP SAR to show that they are confident that my medical history and "symptoms" strongly indicate that I am Autistic, Also a further report from my psychiatrist (this was after I contacted the GP and the Psychiatrist was unaware that I had discussed Autism with that GP as they were not in contact at that time) and in that letter it is also stated that I scored very high on the Autistic traits part of the ADHD assessment I went through (8/10). Since I was put on medication this has improved my ability to be able to have a little better focus and therefore I am able to advocate for myself in a better way. This does not mean its easy, And I still have the same issues as before, but, I am in a slightly better position now and am determined now to find some justice for myself.

At this stage - I have literally nothing to lose, Standard rate PIP isn't going to help me here, even if this whole process leaves me homeless or whatever - I have reached a point where I don't want to just "exist" and "continue to drown" and "struggle" I should have the right to be treated as a human being and have the right to support and assistance with the needs I have being met.

Just because I am intelligent in some areas and I am articulate (to a degree, my preferred format of communication is writing/text) doesn't mean I do not have deficits in other areas..

a part of me wants to go to tribunal, a part of me wants to contact whoever is above these people and publicly shame them for ruining my life - but thats my justice sensitivity kicking in right there lol

anyway sorry for the essay..

thanks again!
