Hello! My name is Charlie and I am disabled.....but that does NOT define me! I am a problem solver and my channel is here to entertain (hopefully) and provide helpful tips on how to improve your quality of life!
I also focus on funding available in the UK for people who suffer with chronic illness that impacts their daily living and /or mobility i.e. (PIP Claims).
I really hope you find my channel adds value to your life!
Makes you laugh that they say it’s not about condition or diagnosis BUT when you get the pip form back and they decline and say “you said you find …. Difficult, but you haven’t been diagnosed” literally what was said in the pip form
Really appreciate the content. I do have a question. Until recently i was a chef, i've working to a very high, 2 michelin star standard with the likes of Tom Kerridge & Phil Howard. But after 10 year of PPMS i have had to limp away from my 30 year career. Can i cook a simple meal? YES! Unquestionable. But the loss of ability & livelihood is crippling, not to mention the pain & fatigue, depression & anxiety. Am i any less worthy of support for stubbornly refusing to hang up my apron especially when nutrition is a vital part of my healing and hopefully can one day provide a service to others and an income for myself. Any advice would be very welcome as i know i'm going to struggle with this.

Totally unrealistic. People including myself genuinely occurring chronic illness. Are absolutely unable to work. Logic many chronic ill people are unable to manage to house works. Struggle to wash, shop. Of course they be unable to give extra energy healthy enough to give to other work. Frequently Charlie you are saying we all agree that people are facking PiP claims. This is untrue. I have no such thoughts. Vast majority of PiP claims are genuine. How about focusing on the actual reality of the many chronic ill people who are refuse PiP. And those who know them selfs to ill to even attempt to claim. This reform, change is sounding that some people with power have decided to take money away from physically, mentally ill people. To put it somewhere eles that looks good on paper. Incredibly cruel actions. Give a deep breath & be prepare to suffer. Wake up Now, somewhat a nimnut twatter that Charlie is expressing in this youtube video. Feel good factor after giving to listening, zero !
There was a documentary done on the scandals of the dwp pip assessments and assessors some years back…it’s an eye opener…how past assessors too part and explained how they are told to lie and alter the evidence…. And what to look out for in a face to face…. But it also applies to telephone assessments….It may still be available to view…
Anyone ever seen 1 point given for a category? Cos i got 1 point leaving me on 11 points, instead of 2 points taking me to 12.....ive never seen an odd number on any category before....
PLEASE DONT USE AFRICA AS AN EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE NOT WASHING, africa is a big Contenant with many cities. not all of AFRICA is suffering in fact they are flourishing without colonial influence. apart from that i think you are great, we need more people like you. applause to you Charlie.🥰
You are absolutely right, why do dry shampoo sprays and wet wipes sell like crazy?! For the days when we CANNOT shower or have a bath! Thank you so much for spelling it out! 👍♥
The problem we disable folk have with being honest as most folk are, disabled or not, is these questioned are published and endorsed by politician who think everyone is dishonest simply because they all are.
I was awarded what I deserve but only because I was in a mental health hospital for 8 months during the application process I didn’t have an assessment they awarded me the top rates by checking my medical records The DRs at the hospital helped a lot with providing all the details needed I’m not looking forward to the renewal process tho 2027 is only a couple of years away I’m already feeling anxious about that
I think this may be a new thing so I thought I'd mention it - the pip forms now say do not send in any evidence that you have had to pay for - so they won't even accept a letter from GP now.
Hi i'm viatron from Sheffield, I have some very great news informant in the following communique on Thursday, 4th of July 2024 the date for the General Election & subjected to the sudden departure of the Tory prime minister, Rishi Sunak who had now very crippled the state welfare service now under the security of state for Work & Pensions what is very broken in an secret undercover operation via illegally using very sick vulnerable disabled people in these so-called WORK CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT! making them very angry across the whole nation of the U.K.. But I glad that the so-called Personal Independent Payment will be finally scrapped under the new incoming Labour Government & also 'Mel Stride ' will loose his seat overnight into Friday morning of the 5th of July 2024 via instead Labour will introduce a new replacement policy to finally protect all disabled people what are inactive & not even FIT FOR WORK! like in the 2019 song by an inde pop group called DEAD LETTER! (a anti-Tory protest song) & advise you & your followers on your website to tell the CHANG IS FINALLY COMING! to finally scrap the current broken D.W.P. & replacing it with something else what is disability friendly with support in the communique. Thank you.
Comment deleted by me. yt continually removing my reply to someone on my post but allowing the others comment to stand. Reported to yt but obviously it doesn't fit their narrative. This commenter has also followed my on posts on other channels and put the same thing. So I guess it's a one sided argument. Commenters name available if needed or wanted?
Just recived my pip assessment which I was awarded after watching your video on the telephone assessment on how to answer the questions everything you said they tried
Hi I was wondering if you could help me please. I’m watching your video to fill out my pip form for sleep apnea and pain I get. I have been declined twice. I now have a baby and 1 on the way. Yes my life is far more difficult. Do I need to include this in the documents?
I have been diagnosed with BPD, CPTSD, Advanced Chronic Liver Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Depression and Anxiety, I hear voices in my head, I have just been told that I have a parasite drinking my blood and there is no treatment for it, and I've got a left Knee-cap that has dislocated over 20 times in the past 4 years, and I am Arthritic in most of my joints. Can you please contact me as I'm having a NIGHTMARE 😢😊😊😅😅
If you are genuine you should be ok but many lie to get the extra cash fact .also many are illiterate and cannot read or write so get others to fill out forms so they fail many are not eligible fact if you can walk talk move your hands and head stand up sit down drive a fffg car then you are fit many do this but do not want to work for themselves or family it's a way of life to them and will keep on taking government cash .if the government can give away our cash to illegal trash then why not do the same that's what they think .
hi charlie i could really do with your help,i have been waiting for a hip transplant for 2 years,one week before my opp my right hip locked up and i fell over breaking my wrist and many ribs,my mental health has been compromised and now i"m on anti depressants ,i have been house bound for two years,i had a p.i.p assessment and failed,i cant walk or cook anything and i have to sleep downstairs because i can"t climb stairs,i could really do with your help filling out my p.i.p form,
I just lost my mandatory consideration it's a joke my health it's shit with diabetes, fybromyalgia ,arthritis rite through my body bowel problems oesophagus problems
I watched your videos and then completed my form using the information you gave out. I then had an assessment and thought I had flunked it because the assessor said "yes, but what if etc etc" and I just kept saying it was irrelevant. If I had to answer i told them my husband supported me. Today I got awarded pip with no further information required. So glad of your help. Thank you Charlie.
I suffer with severe fibromyalgia and I am pretty much bedridden and I don’t eat unless my boyfriend or my family help. Even choosing food is something I cannot do! I have severe depression and was told I have terminal cancer with under a year to live. I get full benefits but worry that they will take my pip and benefits because I am still here 2 years later. I also lose control of my hands and scold myself and I always stumble and I happen to have a fall just yesterday. Will I lose my full pip and benefits? I am bedridden due to fibromyalgia. Can someone please answer me this if possible? Also suffering with depression.
Hi my names is Natalie Wasley I suffer with mental health issues and need advice can you please help me with this issue as I'm having trouble finding out how to do it thanks Natalie
I've been suffering from. My illness is for twenty-five years and not cleaned pip. I'm so ashamed of my condition so embarrassed. Im hurt myself all the time. By banging into doors falling over and I can not be reliable or consistent with anyone any longer. I'm so ashamed.
It's rather daunting filling it out. I use to work in PIP and UC and I have read hundreds and hundreds of PIP forms and WCA forms and i am now trying to do mine for bipolar psychosis and I have all the evidence printed out etc and I am feeling overwhelmed. I will be having PIP assessment recorded as capita are total liars and frauds. I have spoke to hundreds of people who had nothing but lies on their assessment including my own family. I've not worked there in years now thankfully but yeah, they fully lie.
PIP is not difficult if your telling the truth. Fill your boxes out ram them with how your condition effects you. Your trying to give them a good snap shot of your worst day. Yes there are questions designed to trip you up, but they are easy to spot, like you don’t cook because your to weak or unsteady to handle the pans. When microwaves pop up it’s still cooking! So you would have the issues. I added an A4 sheet of extra information on each question so that I could give them a very clear snap shot of my days. I’m bedridden but I can just about get to the bathroom. My assessment lady was very understanding and I even asked my O.T to do an assessment to add to the form. Just don’t panic and relax if you need it you will get it, but the form filling is key.

You say you have a 100% pass rate but sadly being unemployed, I can not afford the costs you charge. I just wished I had £300/)400/£500 in my bank account but I don’t.
