First of all can I say the biggest thank you to every single person who has given me advice about both filling in my PIP form and how to deal with the home visit I had.
Today the dreaded brown envelope dropped through my letter box. It took me a hour even to open it and when I did I found out that I had done it. I still can't believe it but I had been awarded the higher rate for care and the lower rate for mobility and what's more it has been back dated for just over a year.
All the stress dealing with it was worth it.
So good luck to all those still going through this , have some fath that sometimes the assessment people from ATOS can be as nice as they seem on the day.
Thank you again, it's great that I now have a piece of paper saying I am unwell , I have proved myself. And as I had to give up work the money is so helpful.
I hope everyone can have a good day today too
Thanks
Caroline
Absolutely wonderful news it has made my day. Now relax and enjoy the extra money. I know it won't take the pain away but it will help you buy things that will help and as you say mentally it is wonderful to feel that you have actually been believedx
