Please help - constant rejection is just spiralling depression
Hi, this post is on behalf of my partner, but also from me as her carer. I'm currently beyond angry, so I apologise for my tone.
We've applied for PIP around 5 times and have been rejected every time despite asking for an appeal. My partner's conditions get worse with each application, she is diagnosed with new conditions on top of the ones she had before, yet each rejection we are given a lower score!?!?!? The rejection just now has been the most promising, the lady helping us with the application was really nice and we honestly thought we'd finally get PIP.
We are really at wits end, we are both now severely depressed and nobody is helping. Even her doctors have concluded that it's insane she keeps being rejected with her needs. It's just so draining filling out the endless forms over and over. Is there a court or anything we can PIP to?
My partner is consistently rejected for: ADHD, fibromyalgia, depression & anxiety, a foot deformity, PTSD and dyslexia.
The excuse consistently seems to be that because she works full time she's fully capable and not needing PIP. But they don't see the fact she sleeps for 15 hours a day. They don't see she can't walk to the kitchen because she's in agony. They don't see all of her past su*cide attempts because of the pain.
Please can someone point us in the right direction.
