Just updating on the PIP situation. I have actually been successful with my claim. Checked my bank to see what actual money I had left after paying rent and council tax which, after everything is paid for me, is not really enough to eat well and I had a lovely surprise in my account.

Needless to say I am buying new carpet for living room and staircase and going for a well needed weekend at the coast. I can now eat well and if I want to I can get out and about a bit more. I don't have to be assessed for 4 years thank goodness.
