PIP oh no ...................

[Royalspec01]

Well ladies and gents just got back from my assessment and boy feeling wore out . Did I get it I think not the questions I asked was nothing like the pip questionnaire I answered and to be honest so impatient I guess. Well here's to wishing me luck and but if not on to the appeals and see what happens there. Changed my doctor and guess what instant result been referred to muscle and skeletal assessment to assess the correct level of care and hopeful if my kind of nerve damage is suitable I may be able to receive the injections . Well here's hoping your all managing your days as you can be love and blessings Liz xx

Hi

I'm awaiting my dreaded PIP assessment.

Can I ask what sort of questions you were asked?

Good luck. I do hope you do pass and get some help.

Hi there had questions about showering and toilet and walking etc. unfortunately I think I rambled randomly, oops my fibro again kinda tired of saying embarrassed. I was asked how I did my shopping. And thngs like that it told her pretty much how it was. I think I have an appeal coming up cause I just fit into standard rate at the moment according to the pip assessment on line. And did answered it honestly as I could here's hoping for a fail and a nice lump sum to follow for both of us it all helps. xx

Hi everyone!

I'm still waiting for my new PIP forms to arrive. DLA said it will be this month. At the moment I receive high mobility and high care. Not really sure if this will change as my condition has worsened over the last 3 years, now using a wheelchair and on morphine based drugs for the pain, moved to a single strorey bungalow from my loved house after 26 years. Have grab bars around my place especially in the shower.

Also I suffer from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis, so constant washing and changing of bed sheets and clothes. My husband who is also my carer now has given up his job to care for me 24/7

So it will be very interesting how they work out my situation.

I will let everyone know as soon as I know

Take care all

Lucy

Fibro is a killer to all known pains

Hi there Lottie really sorry to hear about the worsening of your condition. Im not any good at knowing what gives the points to qualify for certain benefits but would hope that your condition is all well logged at your doctors this will help support your claim. Sadly I haven't much of that so will have to wait for an assessment to see what level of care I need. e.g. for me im hoping at this stage injections in the spine as this will help my fibro stress as well and will hopefully lessen symptoms too . Good luck and hoping you have a financial positive to help you xx.
