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
