    Hi All,
    I am new to boards and I really need your help and input. I have suffered bad depression since 2005. After illness benefit ran out I applied for invalidity pension and was refused, I appealed the decison and after 2 years wait I received a letter from them 2 weeks ago to say I have been awarded invalidity pension and will be receiving it from 18th april 13 along with any arrears due to me. So April 18th came and went and no payment so after a few phone calls I recieved a call from the woman whos name was on the end of my aproval letter saying the letter was sent to me in error and that I was not going to be getting the pension. WTF???????? how the hell can they do this to people???? give hope to a person with chronic depression and then take it away from them??? talk about messing with my head. Now she is back tracking and lying and saying they havent received a cert from me since March 12...total and blatant lies. I told her I can get the stubs from my doctor of the serts that were sent and she said that only proves you collected them it doesnt prove you sent them........ are you serious???? I am so furious right now...we are on the verge of possibly losing our home and now they pull this...I am at my witts end...... I have no idea were to go from here..... I cant believe they can award it and take it away all in the space of 2 weeks I am distraught! Please any help you can give will be so much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Ask for their new decision in writing.

    They will have to give you a reason for their change of mind,If this flies in the face of your appeal or is only down to the fact they say they did not receive certs you may be able to get it overturned quickly.

    It is because of the certs 100% I spoke to ilness benefit today and they said all my certs were in order so I called invalidity back and told them and they said they will call me back in the morning...fingers crossed. thanks for your help.
