I know someone who used to be on JSA benefit which he had every 2 weeks
up to 28 / 11 / 14
JSA ( Income Based )
Weekly Amount was £165.95 per week
As you were reassessed for PIP ?
Weekly Amount is £72.40
Meaning he lost £76.00 on DLA well PIP now,
Now he has lost £92.95 on my JSA because of the Disability Premium being took off him week so in total every 2 weeks his benefit money has been took of him and affected in a total amount £168.95 .
He was putting £160 in his other account for other people to take out per month to pay things every 2 weeks out of the 2 weeks of my JSA which was £330.70 every fortnight JSA benefit which I have every 2 weeks
up to 28 / 11 / 14
Note his appeal is even more important now because he is now appealing to get my PIP Benefit but also to get my Disability Premium back then it will be put back on his JSA.
He was on DLA for 26 years before PIP came out and his DLA stopped, then he was told he was not entitled to PIP which also meant affected his JSA was affected.
He also has speech and swallowing problems. 2012 he had heath problems and had the peg feed put in. In 2013 he had trouble with his neighbors where he used to live. 2014 this PIP problems started. 2015 the appeal hearing but fingers crossed he wins the appeal.
There is a very big certain while he is now waiting for his appeal, He is at risk of a lot of fits and pass outs due to his Epilepsy, which is a big certain for others like him when they can have a lot of stress to set off fits and pass outs whether they have their money stopped and cut or not. However there is a big worry about people with Epilepsy having more fits and pass outs for those who have their money cut and stopped when they are waiting their appeal.
The government cutting vulnerable peoples' money seems to be getting far too much and causing these people a lot of stress while waiting for their appeals.
