Hi I was wondering if anybody is on pip or had won there win appeal.I have severe problems with my mobility I keep getting flare up in my legs and feet they swell up and cause Me inflammation and I find it difficult to do anything as they hurt.

And I cannot bare pain or do anything everything is a struggle 😪.

It's all flared up for me sadly my erythema nodosum has come back mouth ulcers all over legs feet hurt 😫 very sad this is.

I just don't understand why this won't stop.

If anyone can advise me on there pip and if there successful I'd be grateful thanks. X

Have you thought of getting free PIP advice from your local Citizens Advice Centre ?

Hi Tibz, I get PIP for care and mobility. Like you my legs are extremely painful and my balance is poor

My best advice is to get the Benefits and Work site. It will guide you through your application and provide advice for mandatory review and tribunal. It dies cost around £20 for the year but so well worth it. Good luck .

Hey hun.. I was declined.im going through a mandatory decision . I'm still waiting for a reply. ive got erythema nodosum currently and I'm struggling to walk or to do anything. I got My rhmetoligist to write a letter to help me not sure if that will help me regarding the situation with this.

It is hard to predict but worth a try. My first application for DLA 15 years ago was i2 pages altogether and I had to go to Tribunal as they kept refusing me. Then when I transferred to PIP they lowered my rate. I used the Benefits and Work site as they help you through the Manditary reviews too. Good luck with it and I really hope you get it and feel much better x

Hi Tibz, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time right now. Sending lots of hugs your way! Did you speak with the support worker under the Behcet's Clinic? For London it is someone called Jean, who says she helps with PIP applications.
