it’s a great site with plenty of information to get the most help being a member is best option. I’ve been a member with renewal discount every year . You can download the PDF files for future reference and update as they come out.

I got it all sorted out now at last. They even gave it to me for 10 years hope I can have a break from them now.

I feel your dread. I’ve just had mine. The are so stressful. Just remember to describe how bad things are for you, as they make the decision without seeing you. Good luck I hope it goes well for you 😊

I had a face to face assessment about 6 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago somebody rang me to ask me some questions. They wanted to know about my mobility, I have never had mobility paid even though I have struggled to walk for over 8. years. I was told that the decision would be made that day and I would get a letter by the middle of the next week. I am still waiting for the letter, however, a payment from PIP appeared in my bank unexpectedly, quite a large amount and the only thing I can think of is that it is a back payment for mobility because they were working from a form that I filled in during 2018. So sometimes good thing do happen...

Just a quick update, I got my mobility 🥳 I got the standard rate, but I got 10 points for being able to walk 20 metres, but not more than 50 metres, so I was also eligible for a blue badge 🥳🥳
