Local woman’s PIP payment suspended due to being terminally ill in hospital. Is that fair? #BBCNolan
Sheenagh got in touch with the Nolan Show after she was told she is no longer entitled to her Personal Independence Payments - PIP - because she's in hospital.
In 2016 Sheenagh received the devastating news that she had a brain tumour in 2016, she's has been told her condition is terminal.
And now she's been told that not only is her PIP payment to be stopped but that also she has to pay back previous payments that she received while in hospital.
Her sister says Sheenagh doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in a hospital room, and that PIP would give her some freedom.
