Before Christmas doctor said he would help me appeal my PIP decision, all I need to do is book a double appointment and bring in the letter so he could do the physical exam as this was not performed at the PiP assessment. I got to my appointment with the letters needed, he read through them chuckling to himself then asked me a few questions about day to day life, WHICH he answered himself or should I say told me my answer was wrong and started becoming sarcastic about it. Then probes into my life a bit more and ends the appointment saying I’m not even gonna get it. Also told me to stop doing what I was doing and go out look for a real job as it would be more productive! - I am a strong willed man, but this left me feeling like there was no faith left in the world, I spent a solid 20minutes crying in the car park because I was treated as some kind of villain.. a few months later I am suffering with a swollen throat, beyond desperate for help as I’m not eating/drinking properly and haven’t had a decent sleep in over 4 days, on top of this I have been going toilet 5x as much as normal I get a telephone appointment and was told over the phone “you can’t swallow pills so we can’t help you” - not a scratch of empathy or anything, I WILL be changing doctors surgeries as soon as I’m back to semi decent health!
