Hi, good morningI hope you're all as well as can be.

Please advise if you can 🙂

I currently receive PIP.... However my circumstances have changed for the worse.

I can't sleep due to excruciating back pain which means I'm suffering during the day. I have contacted my GP, who put me on a pain patch but this does nothing to help. The Pain Clinic is also useless and I feel like I can't cope anymore.

I have 2 small children and still work full-time (4 days a week - a recommendation from OH)

Does anyone have any advice that might help me, I'd really appreciate it 🥰

Hey,I am on standard rate and I'm guessing my review is at some point I can't quite remember tbh... I think maybe within the next year. My mum told me to update them but someone else told me it's like applying all over again.

Hi I would ask to see OH and tell them how things have changed and you’re not coping with work and how much pain you’re in see what their recommendations are before getting in touch with PIP as all they’d say is that you’re still working 4days so you can’t be that bad .

Not what you're looking for?
