Hi I've just been denied pip for my psoriatic arthritis and was wondering if I could get any advice for an appeal? The pain itself is bad enough but it's really starting to effect me mentally, I was told on my phone consultation that it would take 6 to 8 weeks for them to make a decision and had my phone consultation last Wednesday and got a letter today say I've not been awarded pip, honestly don't feel like I'm being taken seriously so any help with appealing would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Hi Neilgo, same here, exactly what happened to me I got it for three years, and nothing changed for me, the phone consultation was I thought a little intimidating, made me feel as if I was lying, so I appealed got me no where, I was not in the best place so I left it, but I would appeal definitely, hope you get on ok

Hi Marie, sun is good, and try and get onto a biological drug, it calms everything, and make you feel a lot better, steroid creams do help but only in the short term,
