PIP Advice

Hi all

I have been diagnosed with Fybro for 2 years but have suffered for around 6. I receive PIP at high rate and low rate mobility. I had a mastectomy last August and another in May this year. Due to all this trauma my diabetes has gone haywire and has resulted in nerve damage in my feet. As this makes mobility even more painful, sometimes not even being able to walk at all, I am going to ask for a change of circumstances. Has anyone got any advice on how to go about it 😐

Hi GED57

I sincerely hope that you are feeling as well as you possibly can be today? Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted for you below a link to our mother site, FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information:

I have pasted you a link below to the GOV.UK cache on ''Change of Circumstances''. You just ring them and notify them my friend:

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

Good luck I'm now at appeal stage. They kept me on the standard rate for both. I'm grateful but the idea was changing my circumstances as they had got worse. I struggle with my diabetes as well and have ended up with peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy damage to. But I scored the same as couple years ago and in fact the answers they gave were less than last time so all I say is good luck
