PIP

Hi guys. I have only just joined this site. My PIP form came through today and as well as not being the best at filling firms out anyway, my ' fibro fog' doesn't help. The whole thing terrifies me. Has anyone had similar problems or have any advice. I suffer from MDD so this is making me very anxious and upset.

Many thanks.

Hi there, and firstly welcome to our friendly site 😊

You might like to take a look at our mother site fmauk.org where you will find a wealth of information, and also help with PIP. You might also want to take look at benefitsandwork.co.uk which will have useful information too.

I completely understand your concerns about filling in the very long and confusing PIP form. My advice on this is always go to your local CAB, they are well versed in filling these forms in and also in a way to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

I would also suggest that you get any possible backup letters that you are able to from your GP and from any other medic you are being treated by. You don't say whether this is your initial application for PIP or if you are being transferred over from DLA.

Anyway I much look forward to getting to know you better around the forum and in the meantime I'm sending lots of positive healing vibes your way 😊😊

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I am so genuinely sorry to read that you also have this horrid condition, and I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

I can see that our Foggy has given you the link for our mother site, and it really is well worth checking it out for Fibro information, and our dedicated benefit adviser.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken :)
