hi I'm new on here .I am suffering from a number of illnesses and disabilities and today despite pleading to the dwp I have to attend this medical.

I have hammer toes on EVERY toe on BOTH feet,agoraphobia (they wouldn't let me have a home visit as I don't have a terminal illness)asthma,high blood pressure,high cholesterol,ibs severe food allergies that can cause anaphylaxis,p.c.o.s,N.e.a.d (non epileptic fits)severe fibromyalgia,chronic fatigue,diabetes type 2.carpel tunnel syndrome,frozen shoulders,tennis elbowThere's probably more I have to add but I cant remember as I have fibro fog too.

Has anyone else got any of these and successfully claimed pip.I was on high rate care and high rate mobility dla.im worried sick.

I cannot walk without severe pain that makes me breathless I have to use walkers frames crutches and I'm too scared to go anywhere I cannot cope with people and places and will.only reluctantly go to out of hours to out of hours doctors at like 4am at the hospital where there's only one person on the desk to get anti biotic for cellulitis in my leg.I dont visit family,shop or even the doctors.I never went to my mum dads or brothers. Funerals.

I am so worried I wont get this benefit please help!!😞

I pray it will all work out for you. It actually took me 10 years to get approved with COPD, hammer toes, high blood pressure, Fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, etc. I was so stressed and had almost given up trying.

You sound a very genuine case and almost certainly don't need to do any 'acting antics' to seem worse than you are. Wish you well.

Hi I also suffer from Fibromyalgia, as well as depression, anxiety, arthritis and C.O.P.D with asthma and I have my pip assessment at 10:30 this morning. to put it horribly bluntly I am sh***ing myself. I haven't slept all night, can't catch my breath and my poor husband is taking the brunt of it all. Let's just wish each other all the good luck in the world and keep our fingers crossed. Good LUck

Exactly ajay- meaning a genuine a claimant such as disabledbunny does not need to resort to antics.if one really cannot walk the distance there is no need to act.
