Good for you but I have not had good experience and still suffering from the ordeal. To be told I scored zero, I find this condition disabling however pain cannot be seen and without he medication that keep me going not sure what mess I would be in. But ay ho keep plodding on with cosnstant pain that professionals say im fine xx

if you can't walk without not being in pain then you are classed as not being able to walk

I asked the assessor if she knew about fibromyalgia,she said she didn't.Might be wrong but sure i won't get PIP,haven't been able to work since November,why do we have to fight for it?

That is marvellous news such a pity you had to go through all the stress but unfortunately little we seem to be able to do about the inhumane system. You should have a lovely sum in the bank, do treat yourself to something nice.x

Cheers tulips I received £2466. That was a stressful wait tho, I never want to wait like that again, it's inhuman by DWP atos and capita, the system is severely flawed, thank you for the nice message

It's wrong to put people through this. It's obvious they need to check on claims but this is ridiculous! I wish you well. xx

And you too my friend, please take care of yourself.

That's good news!

Your not receiving a letter informing you of the decision just shows what chaos the whole system is.

As long as it pays what you're owed take a deep breath and put it behind you.
