depression/anxiety and pip...

[roger45]

well after a long hard fight the letter came this morning...

i didn't have to endure a medical or home visit after i got a letter from doctor to confirm wot they already know and have done for years lol...

moderately server copd/emphysema with depression and the lovely panic attacks that come as standard with anxiety....

so the 3 year award is enhanced care & again standard mobility which i had under the old dla system.

so a wee upgrade to enhanced care is brill plus the standard mobility is great as i will get bus pass again without going down the mental health route ie depression.

i hope everyone is as lucky with there pip as i have been.

i was on low rate mobility under dla so im not sure i will get anything back dated from may 2014 & my old dla was up in oct 2014 but they paid that out till the award of pip so not sure although i believe my esa will go up so need to wait & see.

I am pleased you have got what you deserved but I still think it is terrible the stress you had to go through to get this and it makes all our conditions worse. Well done though and I'm sure it must be a massive relief to you. Gemma XX

thank you all !

yes it lifted the cloud for a bit although its not about the money as id hand it back to be able to do wot I could even if only for a few hours as that's worth much more in my eyes....

im sure we all would.
