After being awarded ESA and being in the support group suffering from inflammatory Arthritis and Fibro, and recently Reynaulds. I had a medical last year locally and was awarded Pip but only being awarded the lower award. Very recently I have been asked to attend another..... Medical in Sheffield but I have been hospitalised last Thursday with a Brain Tumor, I was taken into hospital Thursday 6th July and have been to Sheffield Hallamshire on Monday to finalise plans for admission on Friday 15th July. My hubby rung Pip and has explained that I'm now in hospital, and why, and I'm unsure whether the impartial appt will be rescheduled, I have suggested they come and see me because my talking is silly.... Sorry it is true. Anyway regards.

Hi Tinkywinky I'm so sorry you are having to go into hospital and you have a brain tumour. This must be very stressful for you my friend and its awful that you are being put under more stress 're your pip assessment. I'm not completely sure about the best way forward is, to put your mind at rest but, the site does have its own benefits adviser, who will be able to tell you exactly what you need to do. Her name is Janet and click on this link for her contact details. healthunlocked.com/fibromya...

Because when you go in hospital you have to inform ESA of changes etc. So it's best to get professional advise really my friend.

I do wish you well with it all my friend and pls let us know how you get on. My thoughts will be with you ☺
