Application for PIP

Just got off the phone to DWP after making an application for PIP. It's taken me a long time to build up the courage after being mentally battered when I claimed ESA. This time around I'm going to get help from the Citizens Advice Bureau to fill in the forms and I've requested a copy of the NRAS booklet. So here's hoping for some success. I work 13hrs a week but to be honest I dread going as I find it painful and exhausting. I also find that as work takes up all my available energy I have nothing left for living. Thinking very hard about leaving my job but that would currently leave me totally reliant on my husband which I don't want.

That's a terrible amount of time to be left waiting. Hope they sort it for you soon x

Wow .. they must be very busy/backlog. Perhaps an enquiry as to where they are with it at the mo, might help. I had a friend work for Dial when I was on a voluntary/disabled committee in the same city and he did a lot of work helping people work their way through form filling and applications. I hope you soon have this sorted and of course feel better.

The Benefits & Work website is very helpful.
