A woman with epilepsy was left in turmoil after the benefits she has been on for a decade were bizarrely cut off by the government.
Ashley McLoone, 37, from Greenock, has had the condition all her life but has been suffering frequent seizures ever since high school which have become worse during her thirties., ability to find work and financial situation, are all affected ‘immensely’.
However, after a recent assessment by a representative of the Department for Work and Pensions - who administer the payment - she was told she would no longer be eligible. According to the government body, PIP is available to those with a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability who also have ‘difficulty doing certain everyday tasks or getting around because of their condition.’
They have also decided to bump up her monthly payments and paid back the money that she should have continued receiving all along. “I have also had seizures while working before and have had to take time off to recover from a seizure I had outside of work."
