Im nervous but excited at the same time! Although unsure on how my application will go, i have applied. Ive a few health issues at the moment im currently trying to work through. Osteomalacia, flat feet, adult acquired flat foot deformity, severe endometriosis, reactional depression. Ive been honest and told them i feel like im dying each day. Which is true! But god knows! Hopefully my GP and Specialist will back me seeing as theyve watched me struggle but who knows! I will keep you all posted!

Good luck, in a few counties the first submission is (unofficially) automatically being rejected but success rate on appeal is extremely high. This happened to my father in law (after a triple bypass) who now has it accepted and was covered in my local press when they did it to a guy with terminal cancer.

I know. The DWP has already once left me homeless/penniless after finding me both fit and unfit for work in the same week! Signed me off ESA and refused JSA. I am trying to stay positive though. I could really do with a break atm! xx

Didnt want to bring you down. System does play stupid games just to make it hard for people in the hope some.give up it seems . Hang in there xxx

[Heloo85 in reply to Starry]

No i know you wasnt. What you said is spot on! Its a ridiculous system that cares about no one. But doesnt stop MPs awarded PIP though does it! Im probably being stupid thinking i might get it, but worth a shot. Wont know unless you try and worst they can do is say no. Xx

I think the trend is positive. All the PR Endo is starting to get recently is starting to make a difference, and I definitely have seen some ladies say on Facebook they have been awarded it. Fingers crossed for you xx

Good luck with your application.

I used a few free online guides, the important thing with the forms is to describe why and how your conditions limits your ability to not perform the actions they are asking about and not just say you can't as you have endo (or whatever condition you apply under). If that makes any sense.

I had a medical, and I know people say they are hell, but I had worked myself up before hand, so had a huge panic attack in the reception, and they couldn't have been nicer, they noticed and ran around to me and offered me drinks. The man who did the interview was quite matter of fact and typed away as I answered, but he did listen and I got the higher rate in both after the interview.

All the best for a positive result.
